Chapter 1689

When she gave birth to the little dolphin, Marissa was more or less tired. It was still with the help of Poseidon energy, otherwise it would be exhausted and difficult to move.

Qin Shiou asked whether to close the tour line. After all, the little dolphin was just born and the dolphin mother was tired. They were easy to be frightened.

Winnie asked Auerbach. The old man said it didn't matter. Tourists can watch it. Dolphins will protect their mother and son, which is also a common sight.

Sure enough, when tourists supported the boat close to the dolphins, all the dolphins tried to swim to Marissa's mother and son, surrounded in a circle, head outward and tail inward, firmly protecting the mother and son in the middle. As long as the boat approached, the dolphins would hit the bow with their heads.

The rest is none of Qin Shiou's business. After landing, he asked Auerbach strangely, "Dad, do you know so much about the habits of dolphins? I don't know yet. "

Auerbach said with a smile, "there are still many things you don't know. Obviously, you haven't noticed. There are many pictures of me and dolphins on the photo wall in my room."

Qin Shiou didn't pay attention to this. He basically didn't go to the old man's room, and the old man didn't go to his room. The relationship between the two sides is very strange. They are like father and son, and they are similar to bosses and assistants. The two sides help each other, but respect each other's privacy.

After landing on the shore, Auerbach didn't need him to open his mouth and said directly: "you can rest assured to salvage the sunken ship with the black axe. The Spaniards can't take a penny from you!"

Before Qin Shiou spoke, Billy got excited, stretched out his thumb and shouted, "Dad is domineering! Our original lawyer was not so heroic, Xuete. I'm angry when I think of it! Those donkeys, when confronted with the Spaniards in court, want to kneel down and talk. It's really despised! "

Auerbach smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "It's different this time. In fact, it doesn't blame your lawyer group. You really didn't take advantage of it at the beginning."

Qin Shiou asked anxiously, "although we salvaged the pirate ship this time, according to the current international law, the goods robbed by pirates still belong to the country of origin."

The three got into the car while talking. The tiger and the leopard ran with their tails in front. Their tongues stretched out. It was obviously not hot, but they just like running. They are a pair of lovely children who love sports.

On the beach car, Auerbach explained the differences between the two situations to Qin Shiou and Billy.

First of all, from the object of litigation, Spain's claim is very clear: the Mercedes is their country's warship sunk by the British navy in 1804, and Spain has never given up its sovereign right to its sunken ship.

According to the bilateral treaty between the United States and Spain, Spanish warships should enjoy the same protection as American warships. According to the foreign sovereign immunity act of the United States, the U.S. Court has no jurisdiction over the litigation in rem against the warship. Therefore, the sunken articles salvaged by Odyssey company should be returned to the Spanish government.

The treasures of the black axe shipwreck were indeed looted from Spanish possessions, but these treasures can not prove that they are Spanish things, and perhaps the wealth of people in Spain from other countries. Therefore, the Spanish government's lawsuit request this time is relatively vague, claiming that it has "conditional ownership" of the gold, silver and porcelain produced from the governor's office.

Most importantly, the location of Spain's complaint this time is Canada rather than the United States. Two different sovereign countries deal with similar lawsuits differently.

There is a so-called "long arm jurisdiction" principle in American civil litigation, that is, even if the defendant does not live in a state, as long as there is some minimum connection with the state, and the generation of the proposed claim is related to this connection, the state has personal jurisdiction over the defendant in respect of the claim, The defendant can then be subpoenaed outside the state.

In the Mercedes shipwreck incident, although the defendant's shipwreck and its accessories and carriers were salvaged from the international seabed area, that is, from the high seas, because the salvaged subject was an American company headquartered in Florida, the U.S. Court held that the case constituted the minimum link required to exercise long arm jurisdiction.

The good thing about this time is that the small fish deep-sea sunken ship salvage company is located in Canada, and the Spaniards have to move the court to Canada. The legal system of Canada is the same as that of Britain, but different from the United States, although Spain will file a lawsuit, the Canadian court will not forcibly detain the sunken ship.

Hearing this, Billy shook his head and said, "but the federal court has issued a lawsuit order to arrest the sunken ship."

Auerbach smiled: "of course, as long as the court accepts the case, the relevant property will have to be seized. This is the law. However, don't you see that the Supreme Court did not impose seizure, but let you exercise jurisdiction, which has explained some problems. "

Qin Shiou loosened his breath: "that is to say, these treasures will not be taken away by the Spanish?"

Albach said: "certainly not, but this batch of jewelry may not be sold in a short time. I'm afraid this lawsuit will be fought."

Thinking of the five-year lawsuit between the Spanish government and orside company, Qin Shiou's cold sweat will come out: "can't fight for five years?"

Auerbach shrugged and said: "it's hard to say. It depends on the determination of the Spanish. Of course, I don't think this lawsuit will last so long, because the Mercedes was confident that the Spanish would win, so they were willing to spend a lot of money to fight this lawsuit. The black axe sank. They must know that they can't win the lawsuit. It's no fun to waste it. "

Billy loosened his breath: "as long as the ownership of the sunken ship is determined, we are not in a hurry to use the money anyway. Why not file a lawsuit with the Spanish? It can also increase the popularity of the sunken ship, and we can't miss the opportunity of free speculation. "

Qin Shiou didn't want to wait, but he didn't have a better idea, so he had to go on like this.

After returning to the fishing ground, little black and Brandon were waiting a little anxious. The former was talking to their auction house lawyer on the phone, which didn't seem to go well. Little black hung up and looked bitter.

Qin Shiou told little black what Auerbach meant and asked him to hand over the auction lawyer group to the old man, who came forward to solve the matter.

Little black breathed a sigh of relief and said, "that's the best. Our chief lawyer said that we can have a 60% chance of winning. Of course, he can't compare with old Austria. If old Austria comes forward in person, the black axe pirate ship must belong to us."

As a common law country, it is normal to file a lawsuit in Canada. In this case, the results of inviting ordinary lawyers and excellent lawyers are naturally different in the same case.

At Auerbach's level, it's even worse. He can call a deer a horse in court!
