Episode [124]: An Exasperated Bradley
A wave of four consecutive victories put Zhong Cheng in a very good mood, but the recent miscellaneous things are still very annoying to Zhong Cheng. Looking at the players and fans of Leeds United, it has attracted the attention of countless people.
At this time, the court informed Zhong Cheng that the defamation case against Bradley Wilson was about to start, and Zhong Cheng was asked to make preparations.
Zhong Cheng brought the club's legal counsel Antonio Dick and his personal assistant Julia Oliveira to appear in court. In fact, the main ones were Antonio Dick and Julia Oliveira. Antonio Dick is a well-known lawyer in England. And Julia Olivia is also a lawyer graduated from the Law Department of Oxford University.
Today, Julia Olivia, as Antonio Dick's assistant, came to help Zhong Cheng fight this lawsuit.
Before entering the court, Zhong Cheng met Bradley Wilson and his lawyer Dephne Scott. Dephne Scott is a very charming mature lawyer. Today she is wearing a A white tight-fitting business attire, with a protruding front and back, and black stockings with high heels, like a ripe red apple.
Dephne Scott stared at Antonio Dick with a pair of wonderful eyes, and seemed to have affection in her brows!
Zhong Cheng was shocked, there was adultery!
Julia Olivia also looked at the two meaningfully, and the two looked at each other as if no one else was there, as if there was a story and adultery between us.
Dephne Scott said suddenly: "How can you be willing to withdraw the lawsuit?"
Zhong Cheng was stunned, he never thought that this was the first sentence these two old lovers said when they met, she looked at them curiously for the first time.
After a while, Zhong Cheng stared at Bradley Wilson, now he's scared? Nima knows now? What did Zaotama do?
Antonio Dick shook his head directly and said, "Impossible! Let's see you in court!"
Dephne Scott frowned slightly, obviously she didn't expect Antonio Dick to be so nostalgic!
Dephne Scott tightened her eyes, stared at Antonio Dick very sharply, and said coldly: "Is there no room for negotiation?"
Before Antonio Dick could speak, Zhong Cheng's life assistant, Julia Oliveira, sneered and said, "Why, is our Bradley reporter scared?"
Dephne Scott fixed her eyes on Julia Oliveira like a dove.
Bradley Wilson screamed terribly: "I'm afraid? I'm kind enough to give you a step down! Since you are stubborn, you all wait to die!"
After speaking, Bradley Wilson walked away.
Dephne Scott stared at Antonio Dick for a while before turning away!
Looking at the back of Dephne Scott, Antonio Dick sighed.
Zhong Cheng walked up, smiled slightly and said, "Why, there is a relationship between you?"
Antonio Dick didn't answer, but said directly: "We should go in too, Mr. Employer!"
Zhong Cheng could hear the faint anger in Antonio Dick's heart. He shrugged slightly, not paying attention, and followed Antonio Dick towards the court.
━━━Separation line━━━
It is very troublesome to go to court, especially this kind of defamation case.
Because this kind of slander is not easy to identify, everyone has a different opinion on whether it is slander or not, and there seems to be no clear standard for this. This is not as straightforward as robbery, murder, sexual assault, etc., so the process of pleading is very complicated and complicated.
In the process of defense alone, there are several major items to be carried out, and it is a long process to appeal and discuss one by one, to defend and so on.
Zhong Cheng was sitting in the plaintiff's seat, his head was a little dizzy, this was really time-consuming and labor-intensive work.
However, even so, Zhong Cheng will not withdraw the lawsuit, he will definitely fight Bradley Wilson to the end!
For now, Zhong Cheng and the others have the advantage, and it seems that the advantage is still great. Because the face of Dephne Scott on the opposite side is getting more and more serious, while Bradley Wilson is getting more and more angry, and his face is a little distorted.
Dephne Scott and Bradley Wilson killed them without slander, and their reporting, while not necessarily entirely informative, is largely factual. Moreover, the news media has the right to freedom of the press, and their report is completely in line with the theory of press freedom.
On the other hand, Antonio Dick killed Bradley Wilson and slandered and slandered Zhong Cheng. Even Antoniao Wilson was suspected of inciting the public and caused some riots.
The case has entered a stalemate, and the judge chose to adjourn.
During the adjournment, Bradley Wilson was arrogant, claiming that Zhong Cheng would definitely lose. And he was showing off his power in front of Zhong Cheng, which made Julia Oliveira and others very angry, claiming that Bradley Wilson was a villain.
Bradley Wilson looked down on Zhong Cheng and sneered, "Crazy Loya, you're doomed! You're doomed!"
━━━Separation line━━━
Zhong Cheng knew that Bradley Wilson's greatest reliance was Reynolds' privilege.
The crime of defamation has always existed in the UK, which shows that the British attach great importance to the right of reputation of citizens. In 1998, the "European Convention on Human Rights" became the domestic law of the United Kingdom, which raised the status of "freedom of the press" and "freedom of speech", which allowed citizens' right to reputation and right to freedom of speech to reach the same height.
And under such a premise, the Reynolds privilege appeared!
The function of the Reynolds privilege is mainly to determine "what is responsible reporting". The famous justice Li Qixin put forward ten criteria: "the degree of inaccuracy of the report, the nature and attention of the report, whether the source of information is authoritative and reliable, and the integrity of the information. Verify the situation, the state of the incident, the urgency of publishing the report, whether a response from the parties is needed, the views of the parties, the tone of the writing, the actual environment and timing of the report.”
The Reynolds privilege stems from the 1999 Reynolds v. Times case.
In 1994, a political crisis broke out in Dublin. At the height of the crisis, the Irish Prime Minister and leader of the Irish Republican Party, Reynolds, decided to resign from all positions he held. During Reynolds' tenure as prime minister, he was a major contributor to the peace process in Northern Ireland. Therefore, the news of his resignation caused an uproar in the UK.
Both the British and Irish editions of "The Times" reported on this incident. The Irish report was relatively informative, while the American edition deleted a lot of content, which had a great negative impact on Reynolds' reputation.
Under these circumstances Reynolds sued the author of this chapter, Ruddock, the newspaper publisher, The Times, and the newspaper's editor, Vitherau, for libel.
The "Times" claimed that their report was a responsible report, echoing the freedom of the press, and they also claimed that the public has the right to know, and that news reports cannot be used as a political mouthpiece. They protested.
Although Reynolds won the case in the end, the House of Lords still affirmed the importance of free speech, so the Reynolds privilege was born, which is a great boon for media workers.
Now Bradley Wilson wants to use that privilege to defend himself.
However, in the end, Bradley Wilson lost the lawsuit, because Antonio Dick killed the "1120 Elland Road Massacre" because of Bradley Wilson's false reports and inappropriate remarks.
After deliberations by the judges, Bradley Wilson was finally sentenced to lose the lawsuit. Bradley Wilson compensated Zhong Cheng for reputation loss, mental damage, etc. totaling 300,000 pounds, and asked Bradley Wilson to disclose Post an apology to Zhong Cheng!
The court also stated that Bradley Wilson reserves the right to continue to appeal!
As he left the courthouse, Bradley Wilson was distraught, yelling and swearing wildly. Faced with Zhong Cheng's contemptuous eyes and sarcasm, Bradley Wilson's lungs were about to explode. At that time, his eyes almost went dark and he passed out.
Although Bradley Wilson has been clamoring to continue to appeal, Zhong Cheng is still very happy and happy. Seeing Bradley Wilson deflated, Zhong Cheng is very happy and comfortable!

After winning this lawsuit, Zhong Cheng was naturally very happy.
On the second day, the major media in England reported the news that Zhong Cheng sued Bradley Wilson and won, which caused a great sensation. Countless media reporters were discussing this matter, The fans of Leeds United cursed Bradley Wilson frantically, claiming that this guy is a scum in the media world and a disgrace to all journalists!
These people humiliated Bradley Wilson severely, making Bradley Wilson disgraced and in an embarrassing situation, and Bradley Wilson was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

In one game, Leeds United defeated West Ham United 1-0 with Huntelaar's only goal, and won the fifth consecutive league victory!
After five consecutive losses and five consecutive victories, the roller coaster ride of Leeds United made everyone feel a little dazed.
