Chapter 616: Cause a Sensation

"Punitive damages in civil lawsuits are generally aimed at cases with very serious consequences and extremely bad social impact. You have focused on the focus well, but in order to highlight the joint responsibility of Seth's parents, the local police station and the city government, it must be emphasized that Seth's parents have Irreparably wrongful acts, even criminal acts, have been committed in criminal cases."

He Zhichu explained to Gu Nianzhi as if he was in class, "Do you understand?"

"Professor He is the best!" Gu Nianzhi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, with a very well-behaved look.

He Zhichu couldn't help but rubbed her hair, "Stop flattering, after lunch, reorganize the complaint, and then follow me to the court to file."

Gu Nianzhi finished his lunch here with a smile on his face, and went back to his room to reorganize the complaint.

An hour later, the complaint was finalized again, and she sent it to He Zhichu for final review, and after he signed it, she brought Gu Nianzhi to the court in person.

Before leaving, He Zhichu asked one of his assistants, Smith, to call the major German media in the name of an American law firm, saying that their law firm would soon represent Li Haiqing's parents to Nina, Seth, Seth's parents, German The Silao Regional Police Department and the Deslau Chamber of Commerce filed a joint civil claim, the amount of which is being kept under wraps.

However, after the Munich District Court deliberately cooled and delayed the case, after a while on social media, the heat gradually dropped because there was no follow-up development.

This is exactly what Seth's parents want to see. As long as the public does not pay attention to this case, they will be able to play tricks.

Unexpectedly, He Zhichu asked Smith to make this phone call, which stirred up a thousand waves like a single stone, and caused the German media to boil again in an instant!

This is almost breaking-news in Germany.

For a while, Germany's largest media interrupted the normal program broadcast, and all sent on-site interview teams to live broadcast the filing process of this civil lawsuit.

Li Haiqing's case was brought up again before and introduced to the audience, and it was said that the Munich District Court is still deliberating and the case has not yet been pronounced.

The media moved too fast.

The business car that He Zhichu took had not yet arrived at the Munich District Court, and the media's guns and short guns had already been set up at the gate of the court.

The weather was fine that day. At two or three o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was not so strong. When the wind blew, it was even a bit cool.

In the reporter's camera, a low-key black business car came slowly from the other side of the street and stopped at the gate of the Munich District Court.

The car door opened, and a tall and handsome man in a black Armani suit and sunglasses stepped out of the car. It was Barrister He Zhichu, one of the partners of the American law firm that everyone was already familiar with.

After he got down, he immediately turned around and reached out to the car.

A woman draped his arm and jumped out of the car. Although she was wearing sunglasses, someone recognized her. This was He Zhichu's only female assistant this time, and she was also the one who had appeared in court for argument at the third trial. Gu Nianzhi!

The reporters rushed forward immediately, and countless microphones and recording pens were sent to He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi.

"Mr. He, why do you want to file civil compensation with the Deslaw Regional Police Department and the city government?"

"Lawyer Gu, may I ask if you will appear in court in the civil compensation lawsuit?"

"Lawyer He, how much is the claim amount in your civil case?"

...

Questions were thrown out one after another impatiently, waiting for He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi to answer them.

Gu Nianzhi got a hint from He Zhichu, and said in English first: "The reason for filing a civil claim against the Deslau Regional Police Department and the city government is that they have neglected their duties and intentionally condoned criminals to destroy evidence, causing indelible damage to my victim. loss and injury."

The German journalists all understand English, and everyone immediately translated her words into German and sent the live video back to their own media.

He Zhichu looked around, and then said plainly in German: "This time, we want to report to the two defendants, as well as Seth's parents, York, Ramona, the Deslau District Police Department and the city government. joint claim,

billion euros. "

"What?!"

The crowded reporters were stunned for a moment when they heard He Zhichu's words, almost thinking that they could not understand German.

"Did I hear you right?"

"Yeah yeah, is it a billion... euros?!"

"Yes, yes! I also heard that it is one billion euros!"

Everyone looked at He Zhichu and Gu Nianzhi together, and reconfirmed: "The claim amount is really one billion euros?!"

"You heard me right." He Zhichu said, walking straight towards the court.

Gu Nianzhi followed closely behind, feeling very emotional.

Sure enough, the huge claim is the big news...

If the claim amount is less, I am too embarrassed to come out to meet the reporter.

A slight smile appeared on her lips, and she walked calmly to the steps of the courthouse.

It took less than ten minutes from here to submit the complaint inside the court, but Gu Nianzhi had many things on his mind.

Huge civil claims are very common in Western countries. Its significance lies in punishment and deterrence, so that the strong party dare not do harm to the weak party.

Especially when an individual is on the weak side and sues a government agency or a large company, the chances of winning the case are very high.

For example, in the very famous McDonald's hot coffee case in the last century, an old woman was scalded by McDonald's hot coffee. Although she only stayed in the hospital for three days, she also demanded huge compensation of millions of dollars from McDonald's, and later won the case.

This is the power of punitive damages in civil litigation.

Gu Nianzhi hoped that the huge amount of civil claims would not only attract a new round of attention from the media and the public, but also prepare for the loss of the criminal case.

She had already noticed that their criminal case was likely to be lost due to the lack of direct evidence and the court's biased position in favor of the accused.

Although they will definitely continue to appeal, Gu Nianzhi hopes to make their civil case go more smoothly by taking advantage of the indignation caused by the loss of the criminal case among the public.

To be honest, since there is no death penalty in Germany, Gu Nianzhi is not satisfied with the outcome of the criminal case no matter what the sentence is, so only a huge amount of compensation in a civil case can let the other party know what "skin pain" is.

Due to the high degree of media attention and the fact that He Zhichu published his own complaint on the Internet after submitting it to the court, the Munich District Court had no choice but to file the case.

Because countless legal experts and senior political officials are staring at this case.

No matter how powerful Seth's stepfather York is, he can only cover the sky in the Deslau area with one hand. His hands are not big enough to completely cover the sky in Germany.
