Chapter 244 : 115: Don't be ungrateful!



This was a completely legal and reasonable matter, there was no need to say anything extra to the staff, just follow the procedure.

As for the arbitration committee\'s overdue lack of response, he didn\'t care; he didn\'t want to muddy the waters.

"This... This will probably take some time. Why don\'t you go back and wait for news?" the staff member hesitated and then said.

Under the current circumstances, this wasn\'t something the case filing court could decide, especially since the defendant\'s legal representative clearly had the name of their court\'s president written behind it.

The audacity of the situation was staggering…

"No problem, no problem, I\'ll leave right now." Old Tang spoke and then turned to leave, his departure quick and decisive.

The staff member could only pass the documents to a colleague: "Take this to the presiding judge and see how this should be handled."

The presiding judge of the Xicheng District Court\'s case filing division was a man in his late forties. Compared to the judges\' plight, he still had plenty of hair.

He was in the office of the case filing court, and upon hearing a knock, he casually said, "Come in!"

As he spoke, he sipped his tea, only to see a staff member holding documents in their hand.

"What\'s this about, got some issues?" the presiding judge asked, somewhat puzzled.

Normally, case filing wouldn\'t be reported to him.

After all, with the case filing review system in place, as long as your materials are complete, it\'s within the jurisdiction of this court, and both the plaintiff and the defendant are qualified subjects, then the case can certainly be filed.

"You should take a look at this complaint yourself. I reckon even across the country, we\'re probably the first to receive this," the staff member said with a bizarre expression.

The presiding judge laughed, "Just a complaint, what can it be? The first in the country? An administrative litigation with a high-ranking defendant?"

"We at the grassroots level no longer have the authority to file administrative litigation cases now. Just reject it directly."

What he could think of was just that kind of administrative litigation with particularly high-ranking defendants...

Beyond that, he couldn\'t imagine any other complaint that would be the first of its kind in the country.

Taking the complaint and glancing over it, he said, "It\'s just a labor dispute. The defendant is Xicheng District C... the defendant is our court?"

The staff member nodded, then asked if he had ever seen anything like this.

Where else in the country had a court ever received a complaint filed against itself?

The presiding judge was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses, mainly because the name of the president as the legal representative left him feeling dizzy. The plaintiff was indeed daring!

"Tell me, how should this case be handled? We should be the first in the country to receive a complaint like this, right?" the staff member said.

"This indeed seems... Hey, what are you bringing this to me for? Go do your work!" the presiding judge said with a frown.

Indeed, it was the first because the last time someone filed a complaint against a court, it wasn\'t the defendant court that received the complaint.

It was back in the eighties. To resolve the housing issue for judges at that time, the chief justice of the Supreme Court lobbied for finances and urban construction, and finally got the permission to build a six-story dormitory on Minxiang in the western suburbs of The Capital.

But as soon as the dormitory reached the third floor, the locals protested, arguing that the building should not continue, as the three floors already compromised their access to sunlight.

Given that it was The Capital, they directly went to the Xicheng District Court and filed a complaint, that\'s right, they chose the grassroots court not even bothering with the intermediate court.

After all, for a dispute over the right to sunlight, according to legal regulations and judicial interpretations of the Supreme Court, it belonged under the jurisdiction of the grassroots court, without the need to escalate jurisdiction.

At the time, the complaint named the Supreme People\'s Court as the defendant, with the chief justice as the legal representative...

Then, Xicheng District Court ruled that the Supreme Court had lost the case, so the dormitory that had three floors built was deconstructed by one floor...

The meaning of such cases is that in civil litigation, even the Supreme Court has the same legal status as ordinary people.

The impact of that case at the time was substantial, but the means of communication were limited then, not like today, so the circumstances were different.

And now, the complaint received by Xicheng District Court was against itself.

This was one of the reasons why Old Tang dared to do such a thing; if even the Supreme Court could be a defendant and lose a case, then what could a grassroots court possibly exceed the Supreme Court in?

Of course, a court can be a qualified defendant, and there is no problem with that. The issue lies merely in reputation.

Just looking at the complaint was enough to give a headache, and if this case were to get out, it certainly wouldn\'t look good for the court\'s reputation.

Better to report it and see what higher-ups have to say.

After the case was reported, the entire staff of Xicheng District Court was shocked that a matter concerning a cleaner had now made the whole court a defendant...

Since the court told him to wait, he could only wait; such was the inevitable process that required time.

Initially, Old Tang had planned to relax and travel, but then some universities in Xiping City got wind that he was in town and contacted him, inviting him to lecture at their institutions.

Old Tang was somewhat of a celebrity nowadays; the cases he had handled gained him widespread approval.

Having him deliver a lecture to the freshmen, promoting legal awareness and preventing fraud, would be ideal.

As everyone knows, college students possess an innocence laced with foolishness, with first-year students exhibiting an even purer innocence.
