After much difficulty convincing Qin Mingsheng, Tian Junfa finally began to counter.
"This piece of evidence was not submitted within the evidence submission period. According to the Civil Procedure Law, it should be deemed invalid..."
It had been mentioned before that surprise evidence is generally not recognized by the court, but if it significantly impacts the case, the court may extend the response period.
That means recessing the court and reconvening a few days later.
Upon hearing this, the staff disapproved, insisting the evidence was authentic and questioning why it should be invalid.
Both sides seemed ready to argue again, and Old Tang seemed like he was about to pull out some sunflower seeds.
The Judgment Chief, helpless, struck the gavel again and after reviewing the evidence, announced an extended response period and a temporary recess.
