At noon, with the scorching sun on his head and the heat wave under his feet, passing through a high cornfield, the judge of the Gaoping Court of the Datong District People's Court came to the villagers' homes to tour the case.
In June this year, Chen's cattle ran to Hu's field to destroy the corn planted, and Hu sued the court.
After accepting the case, the presiding judge Ma Jingjun carefully sorted out the facts of the case and found that the case involved a neighborhood dispute and there was room for mediation.
In order to resolve the conflict as soon as possible and restore the neighborhood situation, the judge adhered to the concept of "as I am suing" and went to the cornfield involved in the case on July 24 to check the situation on the premise of fully respecting the wishes of the parties.
The sun was blazing and the heat was unbearable, and the judge and mediator patiently listened to the demands of both parties. Because the two sides had discussed this matter in the early stage, but did not reach an agreement, they were more emotional, and they still said their own reasons and did not back down from each other.
"Judge, come and see this time, it's not what he said at all!" "It's not like that, what can it be, isn't it just those seedlings!"
"Okay, okay, everyone calm down first, let's come to the ground on a hot day to solve the conflict. Disputes in cornfields, let's settle them in cornfields! The judge patiently guided both parties to stabilize their emotions, empathize, and went to the field with the people's mediator to inspect in detail the extent of the corn damage and count the number of damaged corn seedlings.
At the same time, it helps the parties to analyze the pros and cons, and informs them that if the crop loss is determined through judicial appraisal, it will greatly increase the litigation costs of both parties and prolong the case handling cycle. After obtaining the consent of both parties, the mediation is organized again.
In view of the focus of the dispute, the judge and the mediator give full play to their respective functional advantages, cut through multiple perspectives of emotion, reason and law, especially from the vital interests of farmers, focus on the cost of time and money and neighborly relations, etc., to persuade and patiently do ideological work, and put forward reasonable suggestions on the amount of compensation.
In the end, the two parties were successfully prompted to reach an agreement, and Chen paid Sun 700 yuan in compensation on the spot, and the two parties shook hands and made peace, and the dispute was successfully resolved before the lawsuit.
