Marisa was somewhat tired after giving birth to a little dolphin. This was with the help of the sea god's energy, otherwise it would be exhausted and difficult to move.

Qin Shiou asked if he wanted to close the tour line. After all, the little dolphin was just born and the dolphin mother was tired, so she was easily frightened.

Winnie asked Auerbach, and the old man said it was okay, tourists could watch it, and the dolphins would protect them, mother and son, which was also a common sight.

Sure enough, when tourists were holding a boat close to the dolphins, all the dolphins swam hard to swim to Marisa and her son, surrounding them into a circle, with their heads facing outward and tailed inward, protecting the dolphins and her son firmly in the middle. As long as the boat approaches, the dolphins will hit the bow of the boat with their heads.

The rest was nothing to do with Qin Shiou and others. After getting ashore, he asked Albach strangely: "Dad, do you know so much about dolphin habits? I don't know yet."

Auerbach smiled and said, "There are so many things you don't know. Obviously you haven't noticed it. There are many photos of me and dolphins on the wall of the photo in my room."

Qin Shiou has never paid attention to this. He basically doesn't go to the old man's room, and the old man doesn't go to his room. The relationship between the two parties is very strange. He is like a father and son, and is similar to the boss and assistant. Both parties help each other, but respect each other.

After getting ashore, Auerbach said directly without saying anything: "You can just salvage the black axe shipwreck with confidence. The Spanish don't want to pick a piece of it from you!"

Before Qin Shiou could speak, Billy was excited and stretched out his thumb and shouted: "Dad is domineering! Our lawyers were not so bold at the time. Xuete, I was angry when I remembered this! Those stupid donkeys, who wanted to kneel down and talk when confronted the Spanish in court, were so despised!"

Auerbach laughed and patted his shoulder: "This time it's different. In fact, I don't blame your lawyer team for anything. You really didn't take advantage of it at the beginning."

Qin Shiou asked worriedly: "Although we salvaged a pirate ship this time, according to current international law, the goods plundered by the pirates still belong to the country of their vassal state."

The three of them got into the car while talking. The tiger and the leopard ran in front with their tails swayed, and their tongues stretched out. It was obviously too hot, but they just liked to run, but they were a cute couple who loved sports.

On the ATV, Auerbach explained the differences between the two situations to Qin Shiou and Billy.

First of all, from the perspective of the litigation object, Spain's litigation request is very clear: the Mercedes was a warship that their country was sunk by the British Navy in 1804, and Spain never gave up its sovereignty over its shipwreck.

According to the bilateral treaty between the United States and Spain, Spanish warships should enjoy equal protection as American ships. Under the US Foreign Sovereign Immunity Act, the US courts have no jurisdiction over object lawsuits against the warship. Therefore, the shipwreck items salvaged by Odyssey should be returned to the Spanish government.

The treasure of the black axe shipwreck was indeed plundered from the Spanish territory, but these treasures cannot be proved to be Spanish things, and perhaps the wealth of people from other countries in Spain, so the Spanish government's lawsuit this time is relatively vague, claiming that it has "conditional ownership" of gold, silver and porcelain produced from the Governor's Office.

The most important thing is that the location of the Spanish accusation this time was in Canada instead of the United States. Such two different sovereign countries have different handling of similar lawsuits.

There is a so-called "long-arm jurisdiction" principle in American civil lawsuits, that is, even if the defendant does not live in a certain state, as long as he has some minimum connection with the state and the generation of the claims is related to such connection, then, in terms of the claim, the state has personal jurisdiction over the defendant, and can issue a subpoena to the defendant outside the state.

In the Mercedes shipwreck, although the shipwreck and its appendages and carriers as defendants were salvaged from the international subsea area, that is, from the high seas, because the salvage was a US company headquartered in Florida, the U.S. court held that the case constituted the minimum connection required to exercise long-arm jurisdiction.

The good thing about this time is that the Xiaoyu Deep Sea Shipwreck Salvage Company is located in Canada. The Spanish have to move the court to Canada. The legal system of Canada is the same as that of the United Kingdom and is different from the United States. Although Spain will file a lawsuit application, the Canadian court will not mandatory seizure the shipwreck.

Hearing this, Billy shook his head and said, "But the federal court has issued a lawsuit order to seize the shipwreck."

Auerbach smiled and said, "Of course, as long as the court accepts the case, the relevant property must be seized. This is a legal provision. But have you not seen it? The Supreme Court did not force the seizure, but let you take jurisdiction on your own. This has already shown some problems."

Qin Shiou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That is to say, these treasures will not be taken away by the Spanish?"

Auerbach said: "Definitely not, but this batch of jewelry may not be able to take action in a short period of time. I'm afraid some of this lawsuit will be fought."

Thinking of the five-year lawsuit between the Spanish government and Osed Company, Qin Shiou was about to sweat: "I won't fight for five years, right?"

Auerbach shrugged and said, "It's hard to say. Judging from the Spanish's determination, of course I don't think this lawsuit will last for so long. Because the Spanish were confident of winning at the time of Mercedes, they were willing to spend huge sums of money to fight the lawsuit. The black axe shipwrecked, they must know that they would not be able to win the lawsuit, and it would be meaningless to waste 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 this money anyway, so why not sue the Spaniards? It can also increase the popularity of the shipwreck, and the opportunity for free hype cannot be missed."

Qin Shiou didn't want to wait, but he didn't have a better idea, so he had to go on like this.

After returning to the fishing ground, Blake and Brandon were both waiting anxiously. The former was calling the lawyer at their auction house and it didn't look very smooth. Blake hung up the phone and looked bitter.

Qin Shiou told Xiao Black about Auerbach's meaning and asked him to hand over the auction lawyer team to the old man to take, and the old man came forward to solve the problem.

Little Black breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "This is the best. Our chief lawyer said that this matter will be held at June 4th, and we will have a 60% chance of winning, but of course he is not as good as Dad O's. With Dad O's personal appearance, the Black Axe Pirate Ship must belong to us."

As a country with a common law system, it is normal to sue if you have something to do in Canada. In this case, the result of hiring an ordinary lawyer and an excellent lawyer is naturally different.

At Auerbach's level, it would be even more amazing. He can call a deer as a horse in court! (To be continued.)
