1702. This is the end
Sitting in the dock, Qin Shiou felt that these lawyers were bullshit when they had nothing to do. We are here to talk about the ownership of the shipwreck. Are you talking about who was the shipwreck in the early stage?
But both sides directly talked about this issue. The Spanish lawyers asked the Canadian Court to revoke the pre-trial order issued previously and revoke the manager qualification of Xiaoyu Deep Sea Shipwreck Salvage Company. Please search | The fastest novel
They believe that since the Spanish government has the most obvious historical, cultural and archaeological interests in the Black Axe Pirate shipwreck and its appendages, the court should designate the Spanish government as the administrator of the litigation in this case. Not only that, the small fish salvage company must also hand over all the items that have been salvaged, including gold and silver coins, to the Spanish government for management.
So the dispute began, and the Supreme Court repeatedly emphasized there that the court was not qualified to make a judgment on the ownership of the Black Axe Pirate shipwreck, its appendages and carrying items, nor did it have jurisdiction to make a judgment. According to the law, the court could only order the Xiaoyu Deep Sea Shipwreck salvage company to hand over the litigation object to the government management, rather than transfer the ownership.
In fact, there is a reason for the Spanish legal delegation to argue like this. It is not easy to determine the ownership of shipwrecks and treasures. Not all deep-sea shipwrecks are warships. Many international undersea cultural relics salvage disputes do not have the issue of immunity of jurisdiction of the state and its property, and the trial of substantive disputes is inevitable.
The Odyssey suffered a loss at the beginning. The Mercedes was a warship, from all angles to the Spanish government, even if the government changed.
The Black Axe Pirate Ship has no national ownership. They were pirates at the time and were wanted by all countries. Otherwise, they would not have had to go to the cold Greenland Sea. Spain could not use the trick of suing Osed to deal with Qin Shiou and his party, so they were reluctant to get into the topic.
Finally, the first trial was full of consequences. The presiding judge was probably in a hurry to have a meal, and finally knocked on the table with a gloomy face. This confrontation ended in such a desperate situation.
Official Qin stood in the dock with a anxious look on his face. Damn, what's going on? This trial ended like this? Who does the shipwreck belong to? Is there any in a hurry to sell these treasures?
In the santing court, the jurors left, and the people who came to watch also left. Media reporters came up and surrounded Qin Shiou and Spain. They spit out a lot of problems like a cannon.
Now, Qin Shiou has experience in dealing with these things. He took out a big sunglasses from his pocket and hung them on his face, then waved his hand and said, "Sorry, everyone, I won't accept an interview now. If you have any questions, please ask my lawyer, I will lose my companion."
Auerbach's pretentious look was so eager to go up and beat him. What does it mean to ask your lawyer? What's there to ask about?
In Qin Shiou's eyes, there was no result in the trial, but in the eyes of Auerbach and other master lawyers, it was different. After leaving the court, they breathed a sigh of relief. Auerbach even said directly: "Let Xiao Black prepare for the auction, Espanyol can't win."
Qin Shiou asked strangely: "What's wrong with you?"
A lawyer smiled and said: "The Spaniards did not directly attack the case itself this time, but instead questioned the court's judicial fairness and openness of law enforcement, which shows that they were very dissatisfied with the attitude given by the Canadian official. I bet that the diplomats of both sides communicated privately, and the final result did not satisfy the Spanish."
Qin Shiou asked strangely: "What does it mean? Isn't the case sentence not determined by law? What does the private communication between the Ministry of Foreign Affairs mean? Is it a story to hear about the justice of the mother?"
The lawyers shrugged and Auerbach said: "Where is so much judicial justice? Especially this is an international dispute. The laws of the two countries are different from international law. How can we judge it? You asked me at the beginning of this case, I told you that you can salvage Shenbao with confidence, because from a legal perspective, we have won the right thing, and the only variable is the diplomacy of the two countries."
Qin Shiou understood. These trials are actually just a process, and the laws in Canada are also very dark.
In fact, we cannot blame the government for manipulation and create judicial shady. Although Canada claims to the outside world that their courts strictly adhere to the attitude of judicial independence, as part of state organs, the courts cannot ignore the realization of the country's foreign policy goals, nor can they ignore Canada's diplomatic interests. They will be more or less affected by international relations or international politics.
Generally speaking, countries with close diplomatic relations with Canada are prone to favorable judgments in the lawsuits in the Canadian House, while countries with relatively tense diplomatic relations with Canada are more likely to encounter trouble in the referee.
Of course, except for Canada, other countries are the same. As for personal interests? The Constitution of each country stipulates that personal interests need to serve national interests. After the penalty for the Mercedes shipwreck case was completed, Billy, the brother of Odyssey's vice president, once complained that "the judgment is completely swayed by politics and even above the law." This is what it is. How can the punishment for international disputes be absolutely fair?
Auerbach speculated that the Canadian Ministry of Foreign Affairs must have wanted to use the black axe wreck as a bargaining chip to exchange for a project with the Spaniard, but the Spaniards disagreed, so the two sides broke down the talk.
For Canada, the 2 billion US dollars of shipwreck treasure can be auctioned and the country can make a profit of 800 million to 900 million US dollars through taxes. This money is not a small amount. Last year, Canada's GDP nationwide was less than 2 trillion US dollars, and this time the tax is one-two thousandth of the GDP of the whole year!
After understanding this, Qin Shiou shook his head repeatedly, ***. Whoever tells him that foreign countries pays attention to judicial justice will definitely beat him and he cannot control himself. The world is like a crow.
Auerbach admitted this: "It is impossible for governments at all levels to not want to get a share of the pie in high-value bulk items such as shipwreck treasures. However, it cannot be said that the government is a robber. Our government will only conduct a biased treatment in the process of punishment. If it is in some countries in Africa and South America, then the shipwreck salvaged belongs to the country, which is called a robber government!"
Qin Shiou said disdainfully: "Fifty steps to laugh a hundred steps?"
Auerbach smiled and said, "You can think so, but this is the reality. If you want absolute fairness, then go and find God. Only in heaven can God give all living beings absolute equality."
