Many of us are used to asking for help from friends or family members when we encounter trouble. Although we know that our society operates under regulations and laws, we seldom resort to legal resolutions. But to arouse people’s awareness of justice and protect our interests, we need to always remember the rule of law. One day, I bought some crisps in a shop with my friends. After paying, I realized the shelf life of the crisps had expired by about three months. I quickly told my friends about it. We, in concert, angrily requested a refund from the shopkeeper. But the shopkeeper slyly denied our request. At that time, I remembered the Product Liability Law I had read in a book a few days before. I seriously told the shopkeeper that if he did not obey the law, we were going to prosecute him and he would be responsible for the consequences. But he shouted, “That’s OK. Let’s go to the Administration Office of Industry and Commerce nearby, as you mentioned. “ With cheers, we went to the office. Officials finally decided to fine the shopkeeper after carefully confirming the food’s expiration. The shopkeeper looked so upset, but the officials praised us. “Good!” they said. “Continue to learn and use laws to protect your rights!” |
