Just after being thrown into the lake, seven beautiful women blocked the door calling him "husb
Chapter 38: Presiding Judge, please download the app in court!
Zhong Zhengyang's expression finally changed.
He squinted at the young man who was openly roaring in court.
[Duty to inform?]
He's using a fallacy of misleading statements!
Zhong Zhengyang instantly understood Chen Ye's intention.
In legal practice, standard clauses are...
The "duty to inform" and the "duty to explain" are often confused.
Especially in scenarios like app registration, the option "I have read and agree" is checked by default.
And the key clauses are bolded and highlighted.
In the vast majority of cases, this is sufficient to establish that the "duty of notification" has been fulfilled.
What Chen Ye needs to do now is to completely separate these two!
"absurd."
Zhong Zhengyang snorted coldly and regained his composure.
"Your Honor, the plaintiff's lawyer's remarks have deviated from the scope of legal debate and have become a pure emotional outburst."
He turned to Chen Ye and said sarcastically.
"Attorney Chen, I want to remind you that the courtroom is not a marketplace."
If your understanding of legal provisions is limited to this, I suggest you go back and study for a few more years.
"In our app's registration process, the link to the Risk Confirmation Form is placed in the most prominent position, with the title in bold red."
Users must manually check the box stating "I have carefully read and agree to the above terms" in order to complete the registration.
"Legally, this fully constitutes a 'significant notice,' and we have fulfilled our obligations."
Don't you even know such basic legal knowledge?
Zhong Zhengyang's words were resounding and powerful.
He recalled Chen Ye's highly provocative questioning.
They casually labeled it as "ignorance of the law" and "emotional".
In an instant, the swaying scales were pulled back to their original balance.
In the plaintiff's seat, Li Zhe and Wang Hao, who had just seen a glimmer of hope, felt their hearts sink again.
Yes.
Zhong Zhengyang is right.
In judicial practice, this level of prompting is usually sufficient.
Chen Ye's behavior just now was more like a helpless rage.
Qin Kexin looked at Chen Ye nervously, wondering if this man could pull off any more magic tricks.
In the gallery, the flames that had just been lit quickly cooled down.
A look of bewilderment and helplessness resurfaced on the riders' faces.
The law is too complicated for them.
Chen Ye, however, smiled.
That's exactly what Zhong Zhengyang wanted to hear.
What we want is his self-righteous "legal common sense".
"Attorney Chung, you're absolutely right."
Chen Ye nodded, surprisingly cooperative.
"You have certainly fulfilled your duty to provide notice."
"but……"
He changed the subject, and that sleazy, roguish air of his returned.
"What I just asked about was the 'duty to explain'!"
"A 'hint' is not the same as an 'explanation'!"
"The hint was simply to tell him that there was a pit here."
The purpose of the explanation was to tell him how deep the pit was, and that falling in could break his leg or even kill him!
Chen Ye pointed to the big screen.
"For those who 'voluntarily assume all unexpected risks,' their core responsibilities are directly exempted."
An unfair contract term that completely shifts significant risks to the other party!
"Especially when it comes to workers' most basic right to life and health!"
"Is simply making it bold, changing its color, and just having users check a box enough?!"
"This isn't an 'explanation'! This is a 'trap'!"
Chen Ye stepped forward and stared intently at Zhong Zhengyang.
"Let me ask you again, does your platform use pop-ups, voice messages, or any other means to ensure that riders sign contracts before they do so?"
Did he receive a one-on-one explanation to truly understand the legal consequences?
"Did one of your customer service representatives make a phone call and tell Zhang Wei?"
"Hey buddy, by clicking this 'agree,' you're essentially signing a waiver of your right to life or death."
"If anything happens later, we won't compensate you a single penny!"
Do you have any?!
Zhong Zhengyang's breathing became erratic.
【madman!】
This young man is a complete madman!
He wants to challenge the rules of the entire industry!
If we follow Chen Ye's logic, then 99% of the user agreements of apps on the market are problematic!
This will trigger a legal earthquake!
"Nonsense!"
Zhong Zhengyang shouted angrily, trying to interrupt Chen Ye's rhythm.
"No law stipulates that an obligation needs to be fulfilled to this extent!"
"What you say doesn't count; what the law says counts!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
Chen Ye grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.
He turned to the presiding judge.
"Your Honor, we request that a witness be called in court."
The presiding judge frowned, clearly also captivated by the intense exchange.
"Whom should we summon?"
"A product manager or legal professional responsible for designing the app registration process at the Huohuo Takeaway platform."
Chen Ye's voice echoed in the courtroom.
"I want to ask him in court when he designed this process."
How do they internally consider the "duty to explain"?
What they are pursuing is to make users "truly understand".
Or should we let users 'skip it as soon as possible'?
"Is it a genuine disclosure of risks, or just a matter of speed?"
Obtaining a "consent" record that absolves one of liability?!
In the dock, Wu Han's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
Product Manager?
Legal department?
He knew better than anyone what their KPIs were when this process was designed!
It's about "increasing registration conversion rates"!
It means "shorten the registration time"!
At the heart of all designs is how to enable users to complete registration in the fewest steps and in the shortest amount of time.
As for those terms?
Who would go see it?
I wish you wouldn't even glance at me!
If it really is as Chen Ye said, with pop-ups, voice messages, one-on-one phone explanations... wouldn't the registration conversion rate plummet to the center of the earth?
If the product manager were to appear in court and be questioned like this by Chen Ye in front of the judge...
Wouldn't that mean they'd just rip off his underwear on the spot?!
Zhong Zhengyang's face darkened completely.
He knew he absolutely could not allow this witness to appear in court.
"be opposed to!"
Zhong Zhengyang immediately spoke up.
"In our opinion, this reflects the design thinking of our legal and product personnel."
"These are internal company trade secrets and are irrelevant to this case!"
"Irrelevant?"
Chen Ye smiled.
"How can it be irrelevant? This is precisely the core of this case!"
"This relates to your subjective intentions—whether it was 'informed in good faith' or 'malicious concealment'!"
"Your Honor, we insist on calling witnesses!"
"be opposed to!"
The presiding judge watched the heated debate between the two lawyers and fell into deep thought.
Chen Ye's request was indeed somewhat unconventional.
But his argument goes straight to the heart of the matter.
Just then.
Chen Ye then made another application that no one expected.
"presiding judge."
"If the defendant is unwilling to call its own employees to testify in court."
"Then we have an even more straightforward suggestion."
He paused, then looked around the room.
Finally, the gaze fell upon the judge's bench.
"We request that the proceedings be conducted in court immediately—"
"User Experience Simulation!"
"What?"
Inside the courtroom, everyone was stunned.
"It's very simple."
Chen Ye spread his hands.
"I implore the presiding judge and the two lay jurors."
Now, take out your phones and download the Huohuo Delivery rider app yourself.
"You all need to go through this registration process yourselves."
"You should experience it for yourselves, from the perspective of an ordinary person who is eager to find a job and earn money."
Faced with dozens of pages of densely packed terms and conditions, and within a mere few seconds of registration time…
"Do you really have a clear understanding of the full meaning of this 'life or death contract'?"
"You tell me."
Chen Ye's voice was crystal clear in the silent courtroom.
"This bold red text is indeed a 'significant warning'."
"Or perhaps, an elaborate trap!"
Dead silence.
The entire courtroom fell silent.
Zhong Zhengyang's body froze on the spot.
[User experience simulation?]
How dare he...?
How dare he make such a request?!
crazy!
This man has completely gone mad!
He wants the judge to personally step down and become his witness!
This is unprecedented in the entire history of the nation's judiciary!
Qin Kexin, Li Zhe, Wang Hao, An Ran...
They all looked at the man standing in the center of the courtroom, challenging the entire set of rules.
This is……
What an arrogant, audacious, and...genius idea this is!
The judge's hand froze in mid-air.
He looked at Chen Ye, his serious face revealing undisguised shock.
The young lawyer was handing him an extremely sharp knife.
Should he answer or not?
