But it was not a medical staff member of the hospital who...

Taxi driver stabs victim with screwdriver, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. Victim alleges taxi company maliciously divested assets. | FTV News reporter Wang Yujun. News Link: In 2021, in Xindian District, New Taipei City, a taxi driver stabbed a victim 11 times with a screwdriver, causing the victim to be paralyzed from the waist down and permanently disabled. The driver and the taxi company requested joint compensation. Although the court awarded more than NT$5.28 million in damages, the taxi company has been delaying payment and is suspected of maliciously divesting assets. Now, the company's trademark has been auctioned off for NT$130,000, which is far from enough to cover the compensation. Lawyer Li Yusheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that the court ruled that the debtor should pay more than NT$5 million in damages. If the debtor…

Balcony Shrinks by 2/3, Price Difference Exceeds NT$200,000! Man Alleges Developer Refuses to Compensate for "Miscalculated Balcony Area" | ETtoday News Reporter Lin Herong News Link: A resident in New Taipei City bought a pre-sale apartment two years ago and only recently discovered, while planning renovations, that the sales agent had miscalculated the "balcony" area, counting it as 1.53 "ping" instead of 1.53 "square meters," effectively leaving only 0.46 ping, a difference of nearly NT$300,000. However, when he contacted the developer, the developer's attitude was very passive, seemingly taking advantage of the fact that the balcony "is not included in the property deed area" and the contract did not explicitly state the area, completely refusing to compensate. Lawyer Li Yusheng of Fuda Law Firm stated that regarding this dispute over the purchase of a pre-sale apartment, even…

A convenience store clerk was caught on camera throwing packages like balls. The store owner stated that the employee had left the company two years ago. A video circulating online shows a convenience store clerk sorting packages, too lazy to pick them up, scanning the barcodes and then simply tossing them behind the store. If the package wasn't positioned correctly, the clerk would pick it up, run a short distance, and throw it again. The package was tossed around like a ball, flying over the shelves. The person filming the incident not only didn't stop the clerk but also made sarcastic remarks. The video has sparked heated discussion online. However, the convenience store company responded that this was the "personal behavior" of an employee who left the company two years ago and that they will strengthen training for such employees. Lawyer Liu Yiling from Fidelity Law Firm stated that the clerk intentionally…

Both ruling and opposition parties have proposed amending the Election and Recall Law to relax the restriction on "probationers being barred from running for office," with the bill scheduled for review next week. News Link: Kuomintang legislator Chen Yu-chen and Democratic Progressive Party legislator Lin Shu-fen have both proposed amending the Election and Recall Law to relax the restriction on "probationers being barred from running for office," and the bill is scheduled for review next Wednesday. However, lawyers point out that reverting to a clause amended just three years ago not only undermines the stability of the law but also easily raises questions about whether it is a case of biased application, making such a direction of amendment unlikely to gain public support. Amidst the political divide between the ruling and opposition parties, it is rare to see a consensus on amendments, but convincing the public seems…

A Taiwanese tourist lost their phone in Okinawa two years ago and found it was located in a mobile phone store in Taiwan. The owner, a Japanese driver, found the phone and noticed a lucky charm on it, indicating it belonged to a Taiwanese tourist. He asked another Taiwanese tourist to take it back to Taiwan and hand it over to the police. The owner, however, reported the loss in Okinawa and was unaware the phone had been returned to Taiwan. After six months of no claim, the finder claimed the phone and legally resold it to the mobile phone store. (Source: Fidelity Law...)

A woman and her friends tried to snag a cheap mop for NT$130, but were furious when their order was cancelled and she blamed the editor. The woman complained to customer service, who retorted: "Would you dare use a mop for NT$130?" The mop company apologized and offered compensation. (Reporter: Hsiao Yu-hsiu) News Link: Lawyer Li Yu-sheng of Fidelity Law Firm stated that, in principle, when goods are sold online, a sales contract is established when a consumer places an order, and the manufacturer must deliver the goods according to the contract. However, in rare cases, if the listed price differs significantly from the market price, and there is other evidence suggesting that the consumer knowingly placed the order despite the incorrect price, the sales contract may not be valid. If a dispute arises, it may…
