Chapter 449: Chapter 161: The Supreme Court has Given a Reply!_6

Old Tang didn't say much anymore; there was no need. It all depended on how the court would decide. He had to leave something behind in this world.

"Alright, the court is now adjourned. We will schedule a date for the verdict!"

There was no verdict on the spot, which in fact was not possible. The case needed to be discussed by the adjudication committee.

Even some courts, slightly out of caution, might seek "legal consultation" from a higher court, although regulations state that courts at all levels independently exercise judicial power and that the sole judge, collegial panel, or the adjudication committee decides on its own.

But... regulations are regulations.

Not to mention that the Supreme Court had already issued "Regulations on Responding to Requests for Instructions on Legal Application Issues" this year. For significant issues concerning the application of the law, the higher authorities must make the decision.
