247 Court - Part 16 (1/2)

Friday, continued …

”Sir, please accept my apologies in that I cannot stand up.”

”Madam Hou I have heard the medical evidence, and there is no need to apologise.”

”Sir, I have offered to hand to Mr Lu the laptop on Monday.While it was a laptop provided to me by my employers, I can obtain a replacement laptop easily.All I am asking for it time to remove my personal files and anything from the laptop associated with my employment.To ensure that the work programs are properly removed, I have to consult with the IT department at my employers, and given the time difference they will not be available until Monday morning.”

Lu Jinhu immediately stood up ”Sir, it has to be returned as is.Nothing removed, nothing altered.”

”Mr Lu, you were not given permission to address the court.Sit down.”

”Well she is having her say, I need the laptop as is for the purposes I need it.”

”Mr Lu, sit down now, or I will have you remanded over the weekend and add new charges.”

”Sir, two days are not going to make a difference.It he is that concerned, I will simply copy my personal data off, it can stay, but I do not know why that will be important.All I am asking for is time to remove my employers data from the laptop.”

”Sir, it has to come as is.I need the laptop as is.”

”Mr Lu that is it.This is your final opportunity.Sit down and be quiet or you will be removed and I will have additional charges added to those you are facing.”

”Madam Hou, can you not leave the laptop as is?”
