Walking out of the court, there was not a single media reporter outside.
? This small and medium shareholder rights protection case went through the initial hustle and bustle, and finally fell silent after more than a year. No media is still interested in this hot topic.
Some people who were very interested in eating melons at the beginning lost their patience in the long process of waiting and waiting.
Attention was attracted by other hot news and hot topics in society, and this case was gradually forgotten.
Lawyer Mundell and the others came out, and what they saw was such a scene, and they felt sad.
"Mr. Mundell, may I speak to you?"
"how?"
"Since representing this case, um, I have been using my own money to advance it. It took up a lot of time but got nothing. The reputation of the law firm has also been greatly affected. I wonder if I can"
"It's absolutely impossible."
Seeing that his partner was about to jump off the ship when he saw that something was going wrong, lawyer Mundell showed a trace of coldness; "You should give up your mind, Cruise, giving up the commission may ruin your career as a lawyer, and the consequences are more serious than you imagined." serious."
"But we can't beat them, Mundell, my life is ruined, and I don't even have a hundred dollars on me."
"Everyone's life is ruined, and giving up means it's all over."
"Oh, damn it!"
Cruise tugged at his hair emotionally and fell into deep pain; "How could I be so stupid? Gamble my career on this one-in-a-million possibility, I I feel like a Quixote, is on the road of self-destruction, and can't wait for the day when the court is officially opened."
The other lawyers all looked miserable, already aware of their fate, but still had to bite the bullet and go on.
For vulture lawyers, winning a lawsuit against a celebrity can be said to be a double benefit, and the benefits are self-evident.
same
? When signing a lawyer¡¯s agency contract, vulture lawyers need to bear most of the costs during the trial of the case, and they can only get the money if they win the lawsuit or settle out of court.
Under this risk clause, vulture lawyers can share more than half of the compensation amount, and the risk is directly proportional to the benefit, which is why they are keen on it.
in the United States
Big shots or entertainment stars are very concerned about their own image. In order to get rid of troubles, they are willing to spend some money to settle out of court, lest the case affect their career and personal image.
for example;
? In the sensational rock music superstar MJ** case, although MJ was innocent, he still spent 20 million US dollars to settle out of court.
It is because the suicide case caused huge physical and mental harm to mj, seriously affected his acting career, and his personal image was facing a collapse, so he had no choice but to choose an out-of-court settlement.
When the vulture lawyer and the prosecutor boy's father were smiling and counting money, mj's heart was broken. The case caused serious damage to his body and mind, and his music career was also hit hard.
? While people who eat melons talk about it after dinner, including the most loyal music fans, their desire for voyeurism is greatly satisfied, and no one cares about it.
Later, the boy who sued mj for sexual harassment at the beginning proved that he was ordered by his father to blackmail the other party for a large sum of money.
It's a pity that it's too late, and the damage has already been done.
For vulture lawyers, risks still exist.
Don't talk about it if you lose the lawsuit or withdraw the lawsuit. The efforts you put in are useless. If you don't get a dime in compensation, you will have to post a huge amount of expenses instead.
In the United States, going to court is a very expensive thing.
The expenses of huge legal proceedings are nothing more than the burden of the roles of the prosecutor, the defendant, and the lawyer. Judges will never bear these expenses, and this is the case wherever they go.
The litigation costs of American parties are mainly litigation fees and attorney fees. Let¡¯s not talk about attorney fees for now, let¡¯s talk about litigation fees separately.
? Litigation costs include;
? Case acceptance fees, witness fees, evidence collection fees, out-of-court investigation fees, legal copywriting and consulting fees, etc.,
Due to the implementation of financial subsidies in the United States, the case acceptance fees that parties have to pay are relatively low, generally around one hundred and ten dollars.
Please note that this is just a general civil and commercial case.
? In cases handled by ordinary procedures, compared with the low case acceptance fee, the litigation costs borne by the parties are mainly the cost of out-of-court investigation evidence and the cost of witnesses in court.?? Expenses.
such as;
Owing tens of thousands of dollars in debt, business partners taking away the company's property, neighbors building a house and causing neurasthenia, traveling together in a car accident, and the same passenger suing the driver for damages, etc., usually go to court program processing.
For large-scale business cases, the labor cost and time cost to be invested are huge, and general rules do not apply.
Similar cases
The court acceptance fee is charged from 3/10,000 to 5/10,000 of the litigation amount, that is to say, if the plaintiff claims compensation of 100 million US dollars, he needs to pay an acceptance fee of 30,000 to 50,000 US dollars, and so on.
For huge amounts, the U.S. courts also provide humanized installment payments and appropriate relief, for example, African-American and ethnic minority groups below the poverty line, single mothers or vulnerable groups.
In the case of rights protection of small and medium-sized shareholders of Atlantic Company, the relief clause is obviously not applicable.
At present, none of the more than 6,000 small and medium shareholders solicited will contribute money, and this part of the money is advanced by seven vulture lawyers.
Of course, Lawyer Mundell is not that stupid. He will pay the agency fee in full according to the $12 billion litigation amount. Only $500,000 is actually paid, and the rest have gone through installment procedures.
If you win the lawsuit or settle out of court, this part of the money is a piece of cake.
In Mundell's lawyer's mind, Atlantic Corporation is so rich, and Boss Wang is so rich, spending tens of millions of dollars in order to solve the big troubles of legal disputes is not the same as playing around.
Who ever thought, kicked directly to the iron board.
?People would rather spend tens of millions of dollars to hire a lawyer to fight a lawsuit, and drag it down day after day, rather than pay a single dollar in compensation.
Just ask if you are in a hurry? Crazy or not?
Attorney Mundell is totally off the hook;
Both Boss King and Chambers, who have huge influence, are not people in the entertainment industry, that is, they are not pop music superstars, nor are they Hollywood movie stars. They don't need to be featured in gossip magazines, and they don't care about it.
Entrepreneurs don't rely on fans for food at all, and they don't care about the momentary uproar of public opinion, which won't hurt a hair.
? If one lawsuit can discredit a big man, then there is no clean person in the United States. Which big man does not have a dozen or dozens of lawsuits on his back?
Porcelain is not unique to China. It has a long tradition in European and American societies, including blackmailing, cheating, smearing clothes, and far-fetched associations without shadows. There is a very professional process.
Eating hamburgers, eating french fries leads to obesity, suing KFC, drinking Coca-Cola for a long time causes blood sugar to rise, suing Coca-Cola, getting stuck in a fishbone after eating, suing the restaurant, falling at your door, suing the owner
Well, that's too much.
How many lawsuits are there in the dozens of companies under Boss Wang in the United States?
For more than a year, there has been no progress in the case. The other party does not agree to an out-of-court settlement. It looks like it has been delayed for three to five years, and there is no hope of a solution at all.
Now, the ball has returned to the feet of the vulture lawyers, do you support continuing the lawsuit?
Lawyer Mundell didn't know, nor did his legal team, that Atlantic Business Machines had the money to keep playing the game.
Once you get on the chariot, you can't help yourself. Big men will not allow their dignity to be offended, and they may want to destroy people like themselves.
