The Legendary Chairman Novel - Chapter 124
124 Angry Bradley
Zhong Cheng was in a good mood after winning four consecutive wins. However, he was still annoyed by the miscellaneous things that had happened recently. The 1120 Ellen Road tragedy still hadn’t subsided, and the aftermath was still there. It also affected the players and fans of Leeds United and attracted the attention of countless people.
At this time, the court also informed Zhong Cheng that the libel case against Bradley Wilson was about to start, so Zhong Cheng was prepared.
Zhong Cheng brought the club’s legal counsel, Antonio Dick, and his personal assistant, Julia Oliveira, to court. The main ones are Antonio Dick and Julia Oliveira, famous lawyers in England, and Julia Olivia, a law graduate from Oxford University.
Today, Julia Olivia, as Antonio Dick’s assistant, came to help Zhong Cheng in this lawsuit.
Before entering the courtroom, Zhong Cheng met Bradley Wilson and his lawyer, Daphne Scott. Daphne Scott was a very charming female lawyer. Today, she wore a white tight-fitting business suit with a crooked front and back, and black stockings with high heels like ripe red apples.
Daphne Scott stared at Antonio Dick with a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be filled with affection!
Zhong Cheng was shocked, there was adultery!
Julia Olivia looked at them thoughtfully, and they looked at each other as if no one else was watching, as if we had a story and an affair.
Daphne Scott suddenly said, “What do you have to do to withdraw?”
Zhong Cheng was stunned. He never thought that the first sentence the two old lovers had said to each other would be this. She looked at the two of them curiously.
After a while, Zhong Cheng looked at Bradley Wilson, and now he was scared? Now you know how to be cowardly? What did Tama do this morning?
Antonio Dick shook his head and said, “Impossible! I’ll see you in court!”
Daphne Scott frowned. Obviously, she had not expected Antonio Dick to be so nostalgic!
Daphne Scott’s eyes narrowed as she stared sharply at Antonio Dick and said coldly, “Is there no room for negotiation?”
Before Antonio Dick could say anything, Zhong Cheng’s life assistant, Julia Oliveira, mocked, “What’s wrong, our Bradley reporter is scared?”
Daphne Scott stared at Julia Olivera with a gloomy gaze.
Bradley Wilson screamed miserably, “I’m scared? I’m giving you a step down with kindness! Since you’re all stubborn, you can all wait to die!”
With that, Bradley Wilson left.
Daphne Scott stared at Antonio Dick for a while before turning and leaving!
Looking at Daphne Scott’s back, Antonio Dick sighed.
Zhong Cheng walked up and smiled, “What, there’s a part between you two?”
Antonio Dick did not answer and said, “It’s time for us to go in, Mr. Employer!”
Zhong Cheng could sense the anger in Antonio Dick’s heart. He shrugged his shoulders slightly and followed Antonio Dick towards the court.
–Division Line–
It is a very troublesome thing to go to court, especially in cases of libel.
Because this kind of defamation is not easy to identify, everyone’s view of defamation or not is different, this does not seem to have too clear a standard. This was not as straightforward as robbery, murder, sexual assault, and so on. Therefore, the process of pleading was extremely complicated and complicated.
The process of defense alone has a few big things to do, and it is one by one to discuss, defend and so on, this is a long process.
Sitting in the plaintiff’s seat, Zhong Cheng felt a little dizzy. This was really a time-consuming and painstaking task.
However, even so, Zhong Cheng would not drop the lawsuit. He would definitely fight Bradley Wilson to the death!
At present, Zhong Cheng and the others had the advantage, and it seemed that the advantage was still great. Because Daphne Scott’s face was getting more and more serious, while Bradley Wilson’s was getting more and more angry, and his face was twisted.
Daphne Scott and Bradley Wilson bit them to death without slander. Their reports, though not necessarily full, were mostly true. Moreover, the media had the right to freedom of the press, and their reports were completely in line with the theory of freedom of the press.
Antonio Dick killed Bradley Wilson for slandering Zhong Cheng, and even Antonio Wilson was suspected of inciting riots.
The case entered an impasse, and the judge chose to adjourn the trial.
During the adjournment, Bradley Wilson was arrogant, claiming that Zhong Cheng would lose without a doubt. But also show off in front of Zhong Cheng, which made Julia Oliveira and the others very angry, claiming that Bradley Wilson was a villain.
Bradley Wilson looked down on Zhong Cheng and sneered, “Madman Loria, you’re going to lose! You’re going to die!”
–Division Line–
Zhong Cheng knew that Bradley Wilson’s greatest reliance was on the Reynolds privilege.
Defamation has always existed in Britain, which shows the importance that the British attach to the right of citizenship. In 1998, the European Convention on Human Rights became the domestic law of Britain, which improved the status of “freedom of the press” and “freedom of expression”, which made the rights of reputation and freedom of expression reach the same height.
Under this premise, the Reynolds privilege appeared!
The function of Reynolds’ privilege is primarily to assert “what is responsible reporting”, Li Qixin, a famous judge, put forward ten standards: “The degree of misreporting, the nature and attention of the report, whether the information source is authoritative and reliable, the verification of information, the state of affairs, the urgency of the report, whether the opinions of the parties concerned are needed to respond, the opinions of the parties, the tone of the writing, the realistic environment and timing of the report.”
Reynolds’ privilege stemmed from Reynolds’ lawsuit against The Times in 1999.
At the height of a political crisis in Dublin in 1994, Reynolds, the prime minister and leader of Ireland’s Republican Party, decided to resign from all his posts. Reynolds was a major contributor to the peace process in Northern Ireland during his tenure as prime minister, and the news of his resignation caused a huge uproar in Britain.
Both the British and Irish editions of The Times reported on the incident, with the Irish edition reporting relatively well, while the American edition deleted a lot of content, which had a significant negative impact on Reynolds’ reputation.
In that case, Reynolds sued the author of the chapter, Rudolph, newspaper publisher The Times, and newspaper editor Viceroy for defamation.
The Times, on the other hand, claimed that their reports were responsible and echoed the freedom of the press. They also claimed that the public had the right to know and that news reports could not become political mouthpieces. They protested.
Although Reynolds won the case, the House of Lords affirmed the importance of free speech and gave birth to the Reynolds privilege, which was a great boon for media workers.
Now Bradley Wilson wanted to use this privilege to defend himself.
In the end, however, Bradley Wilson lost because Antonio Dick bit to death in the 1120 Ellen Road tragedy, which was triggered by Bradley Wilson’s inaccurate reporting and improper remarks.
After the judges’ discussion, Bradley Wilson was fined a total of £ 300, 000 for damages to Zhong Cheng’s reputation, mental health, etc., and Bradley Wilson was asked to issue a public apology to Zhong Cheng!
The court also stated that Bradley Wilson retained the right to continue the appeal!
When he left the courthouse, Bradley Wilson was furious and cursing crazily. Facing Zhong Cheng’s contemptuous gaze and ridiculing words, Bradley Wilson’s lungs almost exploded with anger. At that time, his eyes almost darkened and he fainted from anger.
Although Bradley Wilson had been shouting for the appeal to continue, Zhong Cheng was still very happy and happy. Seeing Bradley Wilson being defeated, Zhong Cheng felt very happy and comfortable!
–Division Line–
After winning this lawsuit, Zhong Cheng was naturally very happy.
And the next day, England ‘s major media have reported Zhong Cheng’ s victory against Bradley Wilson, This caused a huge commotion. Countless media reporters were discussing this matter, while Leeds United fans were cursing Bradley Wilson crazily, claiming that this fellow was a scum of the media and a disgrace to all journalists!
These people were humiliating Bradley Wilson, making him embarrassed and embarrassed. Bradley Wilson was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
And every day the reporters were mocking and humiliating Bradley Wilson, who was almost the enemy of the departure of his full name.
Bradley Wilson wanted to eat people!
Zhong Cheng was naturally very happy. Even the players from Leeds United were very happy. They were very excited.
The Leeds United players were happy and it was a good game.
In the twenty-third round of the league, Leeds United played away to West Ham United, who were ranked sixth in the league. West Ham United’s strength was quite good. The West Ham United thought that the game against Leeds United was a game of scoring points. However, in this game, Leeds United relied on Huntelaar’s only goal to defeat West Ham United 1-0 and win the league five consecutive times!
After five consecutive defeats and five consecutive victories, everyone was dumbfounded by the roller coaster ride of Leeds United.
At this time, the media reporters also began to officially Zhong Cheng. Zhong Cheng was definitely not as stupid as Bradley Wilson had said before. Now that Leeds United was second in the league, Zhong Cheng was indeed a strong head coach, even though he was only 22 years old.
In the 24th round of the league, Leeds United played Berserk Lion Millwall at home. Millwall was a very dirty team. In the eyes of media reporters, Millwall and Leeds United were on par with the Berserk Gang back then.
However, in this match, the two sides did not erupt in any conflict. Leeds United won 1-0 at home to Millwall, ushering in six consecutive league victories.
Next, in the 25th round of the league, Leeds United will go away to challenge Sunderland. Sunderland are currently ranked third in the league, only second to Leeds United and Athletics Wigan. Leeds United and Athletics Wigan are now tied with 47 points. Athletics Wigan is ranked first in the league with a net goal, while Leeds United are temporarily ranked second.
Sunderland are only one point behind Leeds United and Wigan Athletics. This match can be said to be the Heavenly King Mountain Battle!
Sunderland were a team with a good record. The first leg of the match between the two sides was very popular. Mick McCarthy had created a lot of trouble for Zhong Cheng. The two of them even choked on each other after the match. Moreover, Mick McCarthy was poking at Ribery in front of Zhong Cheng. The two of them had a grudge against each other, so this match naturally attracted a lot of attention. All eyes were on this match.
