What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 272: Chapter 121: Idling Anyway (Extra Chapter for Monthly Votes)_3

"But since the start of this semester, the child from that family still bullies my son every day, and my son is too frightened to even go to school."

"I've reached out to the school and the educational department, to no avail."

"They say there's nothing they can do, I've talked to the parents of the other child countless times already."

"In the end, they said if it really doesn't work out, they suggest taking legal action to solve the problem."

"Lawyer Tang, what should I do? I really am out of options. I've sought help everywhere, and they all say they can't do anything. If this continues, I'll have no choice but to confront their child myself..."

By the end, Dong Zhifa's voice had grown hoarse.

This 'confrontation' clearly meant more than a verbal encounter; it implied he was planning to get physical.

Old Tang quickly said, "Let's not resort to extremes. We can solve problems that we have. Your issue is that your son is being bullied, and you want it to stop, right?"

"Right, Lawyer Tang, I've thought about suing, but suing is useless. They might just pay some insignificant amount of money - what if they bully my son again later? Do I have to sue them again?" Dong Zhifa said helplessly.

"Not to mention how long a lawsuit can take. My son is too scared to even go to school now. What if they bully him again during the lawsuit?"

Upon hearing this, Old Tang's eyes slanted. The system hadn't triggered a task, but it didn't matter, he was idle anyway, and this case seemed interesting.

"Understood. If this had been in the past, it indeed would have been difficult to deal with, but now we do have a way. We can apply for an injunction against infringement of personal rights!"

What? Dong Zhifa on the other side seemed puzzled, as he had never even heard of such an injunction.

"Don't know about it? Actually, it's a kind of temporary protective order that can be applied for before a lawsuit, and specifically it's like this..."

Old Tang roughly explained the injunction against infringement of personal rights, which had come into existence alongside the enactment of the Civil Code.

The changes in the Civil Code were substantial. In the past, our General Principles of Civil Law and other laws exhibited typical characteristics of the Continental legal system, which prioritized property over people.

It didn't emphasize the protection of personal rights, but in the Civil Code, personal rights were separately codified, providing protection from multiple aspects.

The injunction against infringement of personal rights is one of those products, because often, infringement of personal rights is ongoing and pressing!

You urgently need to stop such behavior, and as for compensation for infringement, that's for later.

In the past, you could only sue slowly and wait for the court's judgment and enforcement.

But now it's different. The injunction against infringement of personal rights can be applied for before filing a lawsuit.

"Ah? Lawyer Tang, then... then how should I apply for it? Right, can I entrust you with this matter?" Dong Zhifa asked eagerly.

He still didn't understand fully, but it felt like this protective order should be quite powerful.

"To apply, you'll need sufficient evidence. You want to entrust me? Okay, then I'll help you with it."

Before his time-travel, there were already similar injunctions in existence, only he hadn't dealt with them before. The Civil Code had been enacted in his current life, but it seemed he hadn't come across it yet.

So it would be good to deal with it now.

"Qingqing, draft the contract quickly, this matter is urgent."

"Mr. Dong, for now I'll only charge for the injunction. But rest assured, I take full responsibility for all my cases. If anything else arises later on, we can sign a new contract."

"Let's set the fee for the injunction at a thousand yuan, okay?"

Dong Zhifa on the other side hurriedly nodded and said, "No problem at all, Lawyer Tang, I'm willing to pay whatever it costs."

The parties signed the contract, and Old Tang immediately stood up and said, "To apply for this restraining order, specific conditions need to be satisfied. Let's do this, I'll get prepared first, let's add each other on WeChat, and I'll send you the required documents."

"Sure, no problem, Lawyer Tang, I'm free anytime now."

After Dong Zhifa left, Old Tang began to ponder how to apply.

According to the provisions of the Civil Code, applying for a restraining order requires three conditions.

In plain language, that actually means your personality rights are currently being infringed or are likely to be infringed, it's very urgent, and without this restraining order, there could be irreversible damage...

So, a psychiatric evaluation of the child will be needed.

That includes an evaluation for mental health and for any injuries incurred.

As he thought about it, Old Tang sent over the specific requirements.

"The opposing child's name, as well as the names and contact information of their guardians, having a home address would be best, but it's not an issue if you don't have it."

"Also, when you have the time, take your son for a psychiatric evaluation and an assessment of the injuries he has received..."

The standard of evidence for a restraining order is below the standard of ordinary litigation, a high degree of probability is more or less enough.

In layman's terms, it just needs to look truly urgent, and then it will be fine.

"Right, the school has surveillance cameras, right? Have you asked the school to see the classroom surveillance footage before? If not, you could try to take a look, and it would be best to record a video."

About an hour after sending the relevant information, Dong Zhifa began to message.

He had the information of both the opposing child and their parents.

He then said, "Lawyer Tang, I've seen the school's surveillance before, but I didn't record a video, I'll go to the school this afternoon and see if I can record something."

"Additionally, my wife took my son for the evaluations; we should have the results tomorrow."

Old Tang replied to the message, "Okay, no problem."

In fact, the existing evidence was already enough to prove that there was school bullying happening, and that the other guardian had repeatedly neglected their duty to care.

But to make the evidence clearer, Old Tang still decided to wait.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Dong Zhifa arrived at the entrance of Bright District Elementary School No. 5 and called the teacher.

"Hello, Teacher He, this is Dong Zhifa." Enjoy exclusive chapters from m-v l'e|-NovelBin.net

A voice came from the phone, "Mr. Dong, when is your son coming back to school? He's been on leave for five days now."

Upon hearing this sentence, Dong Zhifa became furious, "Teacher He, don't you know why my son is on leave? He gets bullied as soon as he goes to school, how can he attend classes?"

"Mr. Dong, the school is still trying its best, but if there really is no solution, perhaps we could transfer the child to another school, right? I've already spoken to the other parents several times..."

"Enough, Teacher He, I don't want to argue with you. I'm here to request to see the previous surveillance footage, any problem with that?"

On the other end of the phone, the homeroom teacher of third grade class three, Teacher He, who was in the office, responded with some confusion, "But didn't you already see it before?"

"I want to see it again now."

"Okay, I'll ask the school about it. You're at the school now, right? Why not have another talk with the other child's parents?"
