What's wrong with this lawyer?!

"The Supreme People's Court's Provisional Regulations Concerning Several Issues in the Execution Work of the People's Courts" Article 65 clearly stipulates:

During the execution or after the execution has been completed, if the legal document on which the execution was based is revoked or altered, the original execution body shall, in accordance with Article 233 of the Civil Procedure Law, upon the application of a party involved or by its own authority, issue an order for the execution to revert, ordering the original petitioner for execution to return the property obtained and any fruits thereof. If the petitioner refuses to return it, enforcement will be compulsory.

Indeed, the Supreme Court left an opening for "upon the application of a party involved," but the word "or" is used here, and every word in the legal provisions must be meticulously weighed.

As a result, some areas have directly interpreted it as though the procedure must only begin upon an application from the party involved...

Yu Xiaoli stared blankly at the regulation in front of her, and in that moment, she knew that the other side had thoroughly prepared—just look how they even had the regulations printed out!

The registration court was quiet; all eyes were on this side. The lawyers maintained a poker face, but inwardly, they genuinely admired the opponent's preparation.

The court has always seemed very passive to many people; for anything to be done, you must apply. No complaint, no attention—if you don't go to the court, they won't deal with you.

However, there are some matters that require the court to take initiative by its own authority, like the current execution reversion.

Seeing that the other side had fallen silent, Old Tang became even more relentless: "Say something, why have you stopped talking now, huh? You keep insisting an application is needed for you to act, but the Supreme Court has laid out the rule, so what's really going on?"

"Or are you saying... you just ignore the directives of the Supreme Court outright, not speaking when you should, truly worthy of the Lincheng Intermediate Court, treating the Supreme Court's regulations like scrap paper... impressive!"

Fuck! At that moment, Yu Xiaoli really wanted to go over and cover the other's mouth—this person dared to say anything!

She really didn't know what to say; she was just a front desk clerk.

And, most crucially, this was a court!

To the average person, the court should be the very place that abides by the law. When regulations are laid out, they must be followed; surely, it couldn't be like Director Zhou, who meets the law with a dismissive laugh.

Fortunately, Yu Xiaoli's colleague had noticed the dispute here early on and had already called over Director Wu Zhonghao, bringing along two bailiffs as well.

Wu Zhonghao strode over, calling out, "What's all this shouting about... Lawyer Tang Fangjing?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaoli felt surprisingly unsurprised. If it was Tang Fangjing, everything seemed to make sense...

Old Tang looked at him and said, "Ah, yes, that's me. Have we met before?"

"Lawyer Tang, I saw you last time during the retrial at the criminal court; you may not remember me... Ah, this commotion is really quite something," Wu Zhonghao said, feeling a headache coming on. How could he have forgotten about this, and Tang Fangjing really didn't leave any room for maneuver, coming straight to the door to confront them.

"This is indeed a lapse in our work, and I accept the criticism here. Xiao Yu is a newbie and spoke without understanding..." he continued.

After speaking, he added, "Lawyer Tang, we will handle this as quickly as possible, as quickly as possible..."

Watching the scene unfold, the lawyers behind Old Tang were bewildered. Was this person really Tang Fangjing?

Just a moment ago... they had actually taken a few steps back. If they had known, they would not have retreated!

And besides, wasn't the Intermediate Court's capitulation a bit too swift?

They were directly admitting their mistake, and Old Tang didn't feel right to keep pressing on. If they had stubbornly insisted they were not in the wrong, he would definitely have stood firm, but they came out and admitted their mistake right away, with a particularly good attitude, leaving no option to argue.

"Then I'll be waiting."

Leaving behind these words, Old Tang promptly left. With this incident, he was convinced the Intermediate Court's execution procedures would definitely be quick and forceful.

Up to that point, everything that needed to be done had been done, and now it was just a matter of waiting, letting Director Ding experience what efficiency meant.

Although Old Tang expected them to be efficient, he had not imagined that on that very afternoon, Ding Detu, having returned to Er Tou Village, would receive a phone call from the Enforcement Bureau of the Intermediate Court.
