What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 836: Chapter 268 You Violated the Rules and Alarmed Tang Fangjing!_3

Within the premises of Politics and Law University, after hearing the busy tone, Elder Tang handed the mobile phone back to Liu Hanwen, then looked around at the students and asked, “I just had a few words with the other party, did any students figure out the purpose of what I said?”

Since they were idle anyway, he decided on a spontaneous live teaching session.

Moreover, it had been several years since anyone dared to say that phrase to him…

As everyone knows, there are many rules when dealing with Elder Tang, among which the third one is: never say phrases like “sue me wherever you love” in front of that man.

Otherwise, you would disturb the great Lawyer Tang!

The students around began whispering among themselves, but soon a postgraduate girl stood up and replied, “Lawyer Tang, when you just spoke, was it to confirm whether the other party was a business operator?”

“Correct answer, then let me ask a second question. I specifically mentioned that signing to acknowledge the quality seems rather overbearing. How could one refute this if they were to seek rights?” Elder Tang continued.

Indeed, it was Lawyer Tang’s recognizable style; those who could answer had it easy, but those who couldn’t were subjected to a fierce berating, the kind that makes one consider dropping out.

However, students attending the lecture still included some experts.

Another male student replied, “Lawyer Tang, could this be countered by arguing that the provider of the standard terms excludes the main liability of the party concerned?”

Elder Tang nodded again and said, “Not bad, not bad, the answer is fine. I believe these two questions are quite simple for everyone; you should have thought of them instantly!”

“But in practice, we would directly apply the rules released by the Supreme Court titled ‘Provisions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in Internet Consumer Dispute Cases (I).'”

“The first section of these rules specifically states that a consignee’s acceptance of goods is deemed as an acknowledgment that the quality of the goods meets the agreement, and the People’s Court should deem it invalid.”

“Similarly, the seventh section stipulates the conditions when purchasing goods from a second-hand platform and suffering damage. If this case were to be practiced, we would directly apply these rules.”

“Next, I will ask a third question: If you were to handle this case, what would you do? Everyone can discuss in small groups and then share your thoughts.”

After finishing speaking, Elder Tang started waiting on the side. As these types of regulations are seldom encountered by lawyers who do not specifically handle consumer rights protection.

These regulations were released by the Supreme Court in 2022, addressing specific conditions for online shopping.

This was mainly because many people sell goods on second-hand platforms, but they should actually be classified as operators since their goods have a source, a fixed price, and the purpose of selling goods is to make a profit!

However, it is easy to overlook the “second-hand platform” scenario in disputes, hence the specific regulations were made.

As for selling second-hand items and the difference with operators selling goods, if the latter engages in false advertising or has quality issues, among other issues, they can refund and compensate triple the value, while the former can only refund.

Moreover, the regulations primarily focus on the current chaos of live shopping.

After all, on the surface, it looks like the host is selling goods, but there are many involved parties and varying situations; often, you don’t even know who to sue…

The discussion lasted only a few minutes, and soon the students began to speak, Elder Tang cleared his throat, preparing to start berating.

Students can think of all kinds of practical issues, including the loop holes. All Elder Tang has to do is berate them until the students remember they absolutely must not leave such loopholes.

Nowadays, the risk for lawyers practicing is very high; a moment’s inattention can lead them to fall into a trap. Having insurance to cover financial losses is still considered good, and a considerable number of lawyers have been ensnared these years.

Only Liu Hanwen sat there with a grimace; his case had inexplicably become the case everyone was supposed to handle, but seeing the situation, it should be fine, right?
