gave birth to a baby dolphin, Marisa was somewhat tired, this is still with the help of the Poseidon energy, otherwise it will be exhausted and unable to move.
Qin Shiou asked if the tour route should be closed. After all, the baby dolphin was just born and the mother dolphin was tired, so they were easily frightened.
Vini asked Auerbach, the father said that it doesn’t matter, tourists can watch, and dolphins will protect both mother and child. This is also a common sight.
Sure enough, when a tourist was holding a boat close to the group of dolphins, all the dolphins tried their best to swim to the mother and son Marisa and circled in a circle, with their heads facing out and their tails facing in, firmly protecting the mother and son in the middle. As long as there is a boat approaching, The dolphins will hit the bow with their heads.
The rest is nothing to do with Qin Shiou and others. After landing, he asked Auerbach strangely: "Father, do you know so much about the habits of dolphins? I don't know yet."
Auerbach smiled and said, “There are 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 has never paid attention to this. He basically does not go to the old man’s room, nor does the old man go to his room. The relationship between the two parties is very strange. The father and son are similar to the boss and assistants. The two help each other, but respect each other's privacy.
After landed ashore, Auerbach didn’t need him to speak, and said directly: “As for the wreck of the black axe, you can salvage it with ease. The Spaniards don’t want to take a piece from you!”
Before Qin Shiou spoke, Billy got excited and yelled with his thumb: "Father domineering! Our lawyers were not so arrogant. Xuete, thinking of this, I get angry! Those stupid donkeys, and the Spaniards I can’t wait to kneel down and speak when facing off in court. It’s really contemptuous!"
Auerbach laughed. Pat him on the shoulder: "This time is different. In fact, I don't blame your lawyers. You really didn't take advantage at the beginning."
Qin Shiou asked worriedly: "Although we salvaged a pirate ship this time, according to the current international law. The goods looted by pirates still belong to the country of origin."
The three people got into the car while talking. Huzi and Leopard flicked their tails in front and ran, their tongues sticking out, obviously not hot, but they just like running, but they are a pair of cute children who love sports.
On the ATV, Auerbach explained the difference between the two situations to Qin Shiou and Billy.
First of all, from the subject of litigation. Spain’s litigation request is very clear: the Mercedes was a warship that was sunk by the British navy in 1804, and Spain has never given up its sovereign right over the 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 US "Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act", US courts have no jurisdiction over the in-rem suit against the warship. Therefore, the sunken ship salvaged by Odyssey The items should be returned to the Spanish government.
The treasures of this black axe shipwreck were indeed looted from Spanish territories, but these treasures do not prove to be Spanish. There may also be the wealth of people in Spain from other countries, so the Spanish government's request for this lawsuit is rather vague, claiming to have "conditional ownership" of the gold, silver and porcelain produced from the Governor's Palace.
The most important thing is that this time Spain chose Canada instead of the United States. In this way, two different sovereign countries deal with similar lawsuits differently.
There is a so-called "long-arm jurisdiction" principle in civil litigation in the United States, which means that even if the defendant does not live in a certain state, as long as there is a certain minimum connection with this state, and the generation of claims is related to this connection. , Then. As far as the claim is concerned. The state has personal jurisdiction over the defendant, and can issue subpoenas against the defendant outside the state.
In the case of the Mercedes shipwreck, although the shipwreck and its appendages and cargo as the defendant were salvaged from the international seabed area, that is, salvaged from the high seas. But because the salvage subject was a US company headquartered in Florida, the US court held that the case constituted the minimum connection required to exercise long-arm jurisdiction.
The good thing is this time. The small fish deep-sea shipwreck salvage company is located in Canada. The Spanish have to move the court to Canada. Canada’s legal system is the same as that of the United Kingdom, but different from the United States. Although Spain will file a lawsuit, the Canadian courts will not force the shipwreck. Carry out seizure.
Hearing this, Billy shook his head and said: "But the Federal Court has issued a lawsuit requesting the seizure of the sunken ship."
Auerbach smiled and said: "Of course, as long as the court accepts the case, the relevant property must be seized. This is a legal requirement. But, did you not see? The Supreme Court did not enforce the seizure, but let you exercise your own jurisdiction. , This has already explained some problems."
Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief: "That means these treasures will not be taken away by the Spaniards?"
Auerbach said: "Definitely not, but this batch of jewels may not be sold in a short time. I am afraid there will be some fights in this lawsuit."
Thinking of the five-year lawsuit between the Spanish government and Osid Company, Qin Shiou burst into cold sweat: "I won’t fight for five years, right?"
Auerbach shrugged and said: "This is hard to say. It depends on the determination of the Spaniards. Of course, I don't think this lawsuit will last for so long. Because the Mercedes was confident of winning at the time, so he was willing to spend a lot of money. Come to fight this lawsuit. The black axe sinks the ship. They must know that they can't win the lawsuit. It's meaningless to consume it like this."
Billy breathed a sigh of relief: "As long as the ownership of the shipwreck can be determined, we are not in a hurry to use the money anyway, so why not go to court with the Spaniards? It can also increase the reputation of the shipwreck, and the opportunity for free speculation should not be let go. ."
Qin Shiou didn't want to wait, but he had no better idea, so he could only go on like this.
After returning to the fishing grounds, Little Black and Brandon both waited anxiously. The former was calling and talking with their auction house's lawyers. It didn't seem to go well either. Little Black hung up the phone and looked bitter.
Qin Shiou told the little Blake what Auerbach meant, and asked him to hand over the auction lawyer team to the old man to take him, and the old man came forward to solve the matter.
Little Black breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said: "This is the best way. Our chief lawyer said that this matter will be sixty-four. We can have a 60% chance of winning, but of course he is not as good as Daddy Ao. Daddy Ao will come out in person. , The black axe pirate ship must belong to us."
As a common law country, it is normal to have something to go to court in Canada. In this case, the results of hiring an ordinary lawyer and an excellent lawyer are naturally different for the same case.
At the level of Auerbach, it’s even more powerful. He can be blamed in court! (To be continued~^~)
