Friday, continued …
Anna could not believe it.? Here was Jane Gang using their wealth against them.? But as she paused for a few seconds before saying anything to Alister Nang, she realised that it was a valid argument.? Their position was, the evidence is acceptable as to her situation, but it had to be weighted up against the psychological evidence regarding Lu Jingho and a balanced struck.
Knowing what Yi had found out about her motives for action, it still did not diminish her admiration for her skills as a criminal lawyer.? She was one of the best that she had seen in a while.? Able to think laterally and strategically for the best outcome for her client.? The thing was, as Anna knew, she had her own motives and she wondered when these would become public.
Jane Gang paused for dramatic effect and looked behind her.? She could see Lu Jingho was impressed with her actions, and differing levels of shock and even some admiration of her skills from others within the court.
Continuing, Jane said "That balance says that we need to keep the matter listed to come back before you for regular mentions to see not only if there are other matters have been resolved but for ongoing monitoring of our client's mental health situation to determine when the matters not finalised can go to their final hearing.? And before anyone says anything about protecting Madam Hou, her health and her pregnancy there are already orders of protection for her, and by extension they will cover CEO Hou."
"More importantly, we had not insisted on the presence of the so-called victims employed by Hou Enterprises, XF International or their joint venture are protected by the presence of CEO Hou and CEO Yao.? Excusing one of them will ensure we require every other victim be present at court.? The court would struggle to accommodate them and that would delay matters even more.? That would force multiple young people constantly to court when it is not necessary, which will only harm their interests."
Anna leaned over the Alister and quietly said "She is good, and that argument is persuasive."
Alister replied "She is and it is.? But let me have my say, as I know something she does not know."
After Jane sat down the judge turned to Alister and asked, "Mr Nang, do you have anything to say?"
"At the outset, I should make it clear that all the lawyers representing the other victims of Mr Lu's behaviour have seen the report, and we have spoken at length.? They have all indicated that they are supporting the position of allowing Madam Hou to be excused from attendance at court.? One of them, and for the privacy of the client's they represent I will not indicate which of them it is, advised that each of their clients uniformly said that Madam Hou's health is important.? Without her, the matters that started this case off would not have occurred and they would not be in a position that justice could be sort for them."
Leaning back, Jane quietly said to Lu Jingho "Now let the games begin.? That was predictable and plays into the position I put that excusing her simply allows money to talk."
"You can predict them?"Find authorized novels in Webnovel?faster updates, better experience?Please click .Comfor visiting.
"You are surprised.? I simply put myself into the position if I was Alister Nang what I would do.? Then you come up with the counter argument.? We will talk more later about it, as I need to listen."
Nodding, Lu Jingho decided that Jane was getting stressed out, and he pressed the button for the remote on the vibrating balls he had inserted into Jane before they came into the courthouse.? Her reaction, while very subtle, indicated the burst of pleasure his action had given her, so he quickly turned it off.? He could not wait until they left here.
Alister, however ignored the byplay between Jane Gang and Lu Jingho.? "Sir, the dismissal of Madam Hou's situation is a cheap shot to cause additional problems for her.? Like the report of the psychiatrist provided on Mr Lu, the obstetrician's report must be taken at face value.? It has been conceded that the obstetrician is an appropriate expert, and if anyone wants to argue on it, let me reinforce it he is the same obstetrician that Mr Lu's daughter-in-law attends and is a consultant at the city's finest hospital."
