IV. Law case: The Gateway International School

1) The original cause of the case of Gateway International school

According to initial information, 1st grade students died due to neglect on the school bus. When
the bus arrived at school, two young students went to school on the first days of crying so much
that the supporter, Ms. Quy, took them to the school and went to the dining room, did not check
and did not count the number of students. Quy and Phien failed to check the vehicle until they
picked up the students from school in the afternoon. Long was then found lying on the car's floor,
behind the driver's seat. The result of a forensic examination determined that Le Hoang Long (6
years old) died in the car at 12:30 am to 6:30 pm on August 6, not due to external forces. Cause
of death from respiratory failure and thermal shock. Information about the forensic results was
announced by Hanoi Police Deputy Director Nguyen Thanh Tung on the afternoon of August 27,
2019, 21 days after Long's death.

2) Who are legally liable for this case law?

On January 15, the People's Court of Cau Giay District (Hanoi) sentenced three defendants in the
case of the Gateway School's first-year boys to die of a car accident, on 6.8.2019.

According to the indictment and the happenings at the trial, the Trial Panel determined that Le
Hoang Long (6 years old, first-grade Tokyo student, Gateway School) was left in the car from 7:23
to 16:15 on 6.8. 2019, leading to death. The cause is determined by circulatory failure, thermal
shock due to limited space. No impact of external forces leading to death of the victim.

For defendant Nguyen Bich Quy, the Trial Panel determined that he had not performed his
functions and assigned tasks and left L. in the car. Defendant Doan Quy Phien (54 years old, driver
of the Gateway School shuttle) also did not fulfill his responsibilities in accordance with the Road
Traffic Law.

For defendant Nguyen Thi Thuy (30 years old, head teacher of 1st grade Tokyo, Gateway School)
did not fulfill all responsibilities of the homeroom teacher when she learned that L. was absent
without any reason but not related to his family, which is also the reason why Long died.

19
The Trial panel sentenced Phien to 15 months in prison, to Quy to 2 years in prison, and for
unintentional death. With irresponsible charges causing serious consequences, Thuy was
sentenced to 12 months in prison, banned from practicing for 1 year from the date of judgment
execution.

Regarding civil compensation liability, the shuttle service provider, Ngan Ha Company, must pay
VND 249 million to the victims' families. (Hạ, 2019)

3) The details in the law case should be illumined

Below are details that need to be clarified in the international school gateway:

• Gateway International school has up to 4 supervisors and 1 teacher to welcome


students but still leaves Long

According to the information observed by journalists on the day after the incident at
the gate of Gateway International School, each bus to pick up students will be picked up by 4
supervisors and 1 teacher. However, I do not understand why the teacher and the supervisors
left the students in the car. Besides, according to Ms. Quy, the curtains were opened in the
morning so that she could easily observe the places of transportation of students but in the
afternoon when she found out, the curtains were closed.

Previously, according to the information that was originally disclosed because 2 small
students cried so much, the teacher brought him to the classroom first but then forgot the baby
L.H.L in the car. (Quỳnh, 2020)

• How do injection marks appear on victim's body?

At the January 14 morning trial, the Trial Panel (HDXX) announced the results of
autopsy of Le Hoang Long: "The right inguinal area has skin punctures, stretch marks of 2x1 cm
area, the area the left groin has skin punctures, cracked injection areas of 2x0.8cm ". In addition,
Long's body also has scratches.

20
However, lawyer Nguyen Thanh Son said: "The scratches on the body have been
explained, but during the trial, the circumstances on Long's body have many injections in the
groin area has not been clarified.". (Quỳnh, 2020)

• How was the victim's shirt changed?

The indictment of the Cau Giay People's Procuracy and the witnesses' testimony
confirmed that in the morning before going to school Long wore a red shirt, dark pants, and black
and red sandals ... But until 4:15 pm 6/8, when he was found dead on the floor of a car, the victim
wore a white shirt, a sweaty red shirt was stored in a backpack. (Quỳnh, 2020)

• Defendant Phien went, doing nothing from 8 am to 11 am 6/8/2019

Before the answer of Mr. Phien, lawyer Son stated: in the minutes of working on
December 25, 2019 with the investigating agency, Mr. Phien declared: In about 3 hours (from 8
am - 11 am) he went home and opened the door. but no one, then stayed indoors until afternoon.

But also in the December 25 working minutes, the investigating agency determined
that the basement camera B1 CT2 apartment of the Ministry of Public Security (where Mr. Phien
lived) recorded the image: At around 5:37 am Phien took his motorbike to leave the basement. ,
at 11h07 he returned to park the car; 15h19 left again. "So, from 8am - 11pm where did Phan
go?", The question was asked. (Quỳnh, 2020)

• Gateway School Responsibilities

The case file stated that 8 am defendant Thuy - the head of Long class - reported
Long's absence to the school and the clerk's office, but no one checked and informed the parents.
Until 11:30, Thuy continued to inform a person in the staff room "still missing Long," but the
school still did not inform the family.

The court hearing on January 14 released videos recorded from the school's security
cameras, such as the scene of taking students to school, the scenes of Ms. Quy leading the
children to the cafeteria; scene of Phien bringing the car back to the parking lot, the scene of
discovering Long in the car, the emergency scene in the medical room ... However, the most

21
important scene - the student got out of the car - to determine whether or not it happened Long
forgot about the bus again unknown. (Quỳnh, 2020)

5) Do you agree with the verdict of trial court? Explain why do you agree or disagree?

In my opinion, I agree with the court's sentence in the gateway international school
case against the defendant, Nguyen Bich Quy (56 years old, supervisor on the school bus from
Gateway School) 2 years in prison. However, this sentence is a little heavy, so it should reduce
the sentence for the defendant. Besides, I also agree Doan Quy Phien (54 years old, driver of a
school bus to Gateway School) 15 months in prison for "accidentally killing". But in the case of
the defendant of Nguyen Thi Thuy, I totally disagree with the accused of Nguyen Thi Thuy (30
years old, first-class teacher of Tokyo Gateway School), who was sentenced to 12 months in
prison for being irresponsible with serious consequences. In addition, this female teacher has
been banned from practicing as a teacher for 1 year from the date of execution of the sentence.

In the case of the defendant of the quarter, Quy accepted to work as a pick-up and
drop-off student with Ngan Ha Transport and Tourism Co., Ltd. but no contract or training.
However, the defendant Quy with the role and responsibility of being a school bus supervisor but
not able to take care of, omitting the student, so this defendant fully deserves the court's
sentence. In the case of defendant Phan, he has not signed a labor contract with Ngan Ha
Company and the unfortunate incident due to negligence and inadvertent inspection of the car
before parking led to the unfortunate incident of Le Hoang Long. Finally, Thuy's defendant, she
reported and updated Long's information to the school but the school has yet to notify or call the
student's parents. Moreover, the court's verdict against this defendant is quite heavy so the court
should consider reducing the penalty to soon have the opportunity to return to work, contribute
to society, redeem the mistake made. (LĐO, 2020)

6) As a legal consultant, give recommendations to solve this law case legally.

In this case, there are many details that have not been clarified, such as the school's
duties, which are indispensable, but the victims' relatives and the trial panel, the court does not
ask or question anything about the responsibility. responsibility of the school. Therefore, there
are a number of court judgments for the defendants in this case which are a bit inadequate.
Though on above analysis, As I am a legal consultant, I will give recommendations to solve this
law case legally. Based on Article 360 (Irresponsibility causes serious consequences), I will
recommend to reduce Nguyen Thi Thuy's sentence to 9 months in prison and prohibit her from
becoming a teacher within 3 months, because this is the fault of the school not to notify Long's
current situation towards the Long's family, the school is not responsible for this case. In addition,
considering the case of Gateway principal based on Article 99, Criminal Code "Crime of
unintentional murder for violating professional or administrative rules".

7) Suggestions to educational institutions and to lawmakers in Vietnam to avoid the
similar law case in the future

Through the Gateway International School case, to avoid cases of law similar to the
gateway international school, I will give some suggestion to improve educational institutions and
to lawmakers in Vietnam in the future. First, the parents of students need to coordinate with the
school to teach and educate the basic skills and knowledge needed to respond to unfortunate
situations in the future. Second, educational institutions must have training programs, lessons
between teachers, managers and lecturers must be standard in order to cooperate, and
coordinate good guidance to young students. In addition, the school's management system must
ensure strict safety for students. For example, signing or hiring a teacher or driver to transport
students must make the contract transparent, and each individual must assume his or her
responsibilities to avoid similar incidents. Besides, I suggest the school should have a system to
check, attendance of the students as well as alert the remaining children on the bus. It also
provides training for school bus drivers and children supervising teachers on buses.

Moreover, I requested the Ministry or Education and Training strengthen measures


to ensure safety for children and have specific regulations and directions for schools in providing
bus services to ensure quality and safety. The education sector has improved teaching for sure,
but focus seems to be put too much on renovating textbooks and learning methods. Teachers
and students also need to be equipped with essential life skills to prevent such incidents. What
we also need is to reform to build a safer, healthier and a more friendly environment for the kids
to make schools a real safe place to learn and play. It is also necessary to raise public awareness
and responsibilities to prevent risks such as traffic accidents, fire or natural disasters, that are
threatening children everywhere and at any time.

V. Law case: Asanzo files lawsuit against Tuoi Tre newspaper over origins of products.
1) The original cause of the case of Asanzo files lawsuit against Tuoi Tre newspaper over
origins of products.

The case begins with a series of articles in Tuoi Tre newspaper that fake the origin of household
electrical goods and describes Asanzo's television production process as just assembling four
simple blocks of components imported from China and then mounting the origin of Vietnam.
causing consumers to misunderstand ...

According to the company, despite working with this report on the above information is false
allegations but the Youth newspaper did not listen to their presentation. Therefore, Asanzo
requested Tuoi Tre newspaper to correct the information and apologize publicly. At the same
time, the company reserves the right to claim the damages that it thinks is caused by Tuoi Tre
Newspaper...

A number of major electronics supermarkets across the country such as Nguyen Kim Electronics,
Green Electronics, Cho Lon Electronics ... have announced the exchange of Asanzo-branded
television products, causing the brand to decline significantly about revenue. (Yến, 2019)

2) The winner over the lawsuit

In this case, Asanzo will be the winner of the youth newspaper's accessories that have
spread false and inaccurate rumors affecting the company's revenue. Because Vietnamese law
now provides that for a product to be considered "made in Vietnam", it is sufficient to assemble
only in Vietnam, thus, Asanzo products meet the conditions of being labeled "made in Vietnam".
In addition, the law of Vietnam has not specified the origin of goods, so Asanzo in this case has
not violated the law and the regulations of the state. Therefore, the fact that Asanzo reported
that Asanzo's products were Chinese products in Vietnamese clothing, although they correctly
reported the nature of the incident, they were not legally valid, so Tuoi Tre Newspaper suffered
liability for damages to Asanzo. (tgslaw, 2019)

3) The detail in the law case should be illumined


o The Head of Tuoi Tre newspapers, said that the immediate notice has not been
officially notified from the People's Court of District 11 about the lawsuit of Asanzo
company. Therefore, because the content of the lawsuit is not clear, the newspaper

26
has not provided feedback on this incident. Moreover, the two sides have not made
any move about the lawsuit for a long time, which is postponed so this is an element
that needs to be clarified and illuminated. (Yến, 2019)

o The General Department of Market Management has listed companies related to


Asanzo. It is noteworthy that among these agencies, the market management agency
has verified that there are many businesses operating but the address is not clear, not
real or even inactive companies ... but there are transactions of sales, import and
export of electronic components, consumer electrical appliances, electronics up to
trillions of dong. This is a report of the work done, results of verification, investigation,
and collection of information related to the responsibility of the regulator, rather than
a conclusive report. (tuoitre, 2019)

o Do retailers and supermarkets regularly check these businesses according to the


periodic inspection regulations or do supermarkets help businesses?

4) The laws will be applied to this case

In the case of Asanzo in order to determine whether the company's products are
“Made in Vietnam” products, it is necessary to understand the legal provisions on the origin of
goods, the labeling of goods associated with inspection, reconciliation and evaluation of customs
declaration documents when importing goods of Asanzo.

Firstly, from the perspective of trademarks, there are no specific regulations on


criteria to identify goods labeled "made in Vietnam".

Second, in terms of origin of goods. To determine whether goods or products are


originating in Vietnam, the Government's Decree No. 31/2018 / ND-CP of March 8, 2018,
detailing the Law on Foreign Trade Management Origin of goods. Accordingly, the basis for
determining "goods originating in Vietnam" is to be granted certificates of goods origin (C / O) or
documents certifying goods origin of Vietnam in order to enjoy tax incentives. or non-tariff when
exporting to markets that Vietnam has international commitments to.

27
Third, in terms of geographical indications in accordance with the 2005 Intellectual
Property Law, amended and supplemented in 2009, a geographical indication is protected for a
product if it is of geographical origin, reputation, quality or major characteristics of the territory
in accordance with that geographical indication. This is a provision for the protection of
geographical indications for a specific product from a defined territory, not for the labeling of
goods made in Vietnam in general.

5) As a legal consultant, give recommendations to solve this lawsuit legally and which side
will you support? Why?

During the process of Asanzo's lawsuit against Tuoi Tre newspaper, there was a lot
of information on both sides that was incomplete, specific and up to now, there was no additional
information for the court. In addition, the laws of Vietnam still do not have clear content, exact
or specific description of the origin of goods, full of the concept "Made in Vietnam". Therefore, i
will give some recommendations to resolve this case legally as a legal consultant. First, the asanzo
company should have a legal team to clearly analyze the direction of the company's plans to
avoid such cases. In addition, there is a hole in Vietnamese law, so many businesses have suffered
from this problem, not only asanzo, such as khaisilk. Therefore, I recommend that there should
be specific rules, documents, a concept about the label "made in Vietnam", the origin of goods
and the addition of tax regulations to avoid the case that businesses take advantage of a score
to evade the rules and avoid repeating. In addition, there are 2 cases to legally handle this case:

In the first case, if Tuoi Tre Newspaper has evidence of Asanzo peeling off the label
"made in China" to replace it with "made in Vietnam", then Tuoi Tre Newspaper can report that
Asanzo has switched the origin of goods. Thus, Tuoi Tre Newspaper has properly reported on the
nature of the incident. In the second case, the current Vietnamese law provides that for a product
to be considered "made in Vietnam", only assembling in Vietnam is sufficient, so is the product
of Asanzo. Satisfying the conditions labeled "made in Vietnam", Tuoi Tre Newspaper is

33
responsible for compensating damages to Asanzo even though despite reporting the true nature
of the incident, it is not legally valid.

Although legal, legal, the company Asanzo is not right or wrong because this is a flaw
of the law in Vietnam. However, if only that much is not worth mentioning, here the Asanzo
company has deceived consumers' beliefs affecting the dignity and pride of the Vietnamese
nation. Therefore, I support the Tuoi Tre Newspaper, they take a very smart, correct and
definitive step for penetrating the market, asanzo's system to investigate and disclose
information of asanzo's goods. I encourage Vietnamese businesses and people who are
Vietnamese people to use "high quality Vietnamese goods" in order to promote the development
of domestic production, protect the legitimate rights and interests of Vietnamese manufacturers;
Maintain export growth in a sustainable manner; Attracting cooperation, foreign investment in
high-tech projects with high added value, pervasive impact, connecting global production and
supply chains...

6) At the Asanzo’s position, provide three legal solutions to overcome the similar law case
in the future.

Asanzo should have a dedicated legal team to help the company aim to make the
best decision and at the same time avoid unwanted legal risks. The percentage of the value of
goods is the value added gained after a country or territory produces, processes or processes
materials that do not originate from this country or territory. With the total value of the goods
produced and this rate ≥ 30% of the market they still have the right to label Made in Vietnam.

In addition, Asanzo must be knowledgeable about taxes, comply with regulations like
many other businesses on state tax payment policies such as corporate income tax or VAT.
Compliance with such tax policies of the state will reduce the status of law evasion, used as a way
to avoid tax of other businesses in the future.

Moreover, the Asanzo Company should carry out procedures or register intellectual
property rights for industrial property to ensure geographical indications for the product.
Because this is a regulation for the protection of geographical indications for a specific product
from a defined territory, there is no provision for labeling of goods made in Vietnam in general.
(Dung, 2019)

34
7) Recommend legal solutions based upon a different country’s legal system and/or a
different legal framework. Evaluate the effectiveness of each legal solution.

At both the federal and state level, there are regulations and laws, the violation of
which includes criminal sanctions, which the party risks violating if it is selling falsely labeled
goods. In addition, the party may be liable to anyone who is “harmed” by purchasing falsely
labeled products. In selling falsely labeled goods, the party runs the risk of violation of Federal
origin labeling laws, Federal and State false advertising laws, and liability to the purchaser of the
products under theories of fraud and violations of California Civil Code. (stimmel-law, 2019)

The country of origin of goods sold in the United States is regulated under 19 USC §
1304, which regulates the marking of imported articles and containers. It requires goods
imported into the United States to be marked in writing on the goods which states the origin of
the article. Violation of this statute is criminally punishable upon conviction for the first violation
with fines up to $100,000, and imprisonment of up to 1 year. 19 USC § 1304(l). If a party becomes
aware that the origin markings on a product are false, or wrong, although the party is not part of
the fraud in the first place, their complicity would implicate them under this statute. (stimmel-
law, 2019)

Therefore, I suggest apply the 19 U.S. Code §1304.Marking of imported articles and
containers of the US into Vietnam so that businesses should comply with specific provisions on
the labeling of goods origin to protect goods produced in that country in general and protect
Trademark protection of specific products.

Conclusion

Through the assignment, it shows and describe each type of business organizations are formed
legally and funded. It also evaluates the advantage and disadvantages of five types of business
organizations. During the research, I have found and found the original cause of law case of
Gateway international school and Asanzo files against Tuoi Tre newspaper. Specifically, I have
provided 2 articles that apply to the gateway school's case, articles 128 and 360. Besides,
Asanzo case, I applied decree No. 31/2018 / ND-CP, Decree 19/2006 / ND-CP and Resolution
No. 51/2001 / QH10. Moreover, during the course of my research, I learned a lot about the
laws, learned about the two events mentioned in the report, pointed out the lighting points and
as a legal consultant, I came up with a solution. legal to resolve two law cases legally.

In addition, I also suggest personal opinions for two cases that have reasonable
recommendations to avoid unfortunate events in the future and besides, through these two
cases, it also shows that the ministries There are several gaps in Vietnamese laws, regulations
or policies that lead to situations like these two. Finally, I provide the recommendation of the
law of 19 U.S. Code §1304 Marking of imported articles and containers to evaluate and
compare between the two legal systems, review and draw out good things to complement the
legal system.

This background knowledge about business laws that provided to me a lot in understanding,
analyzing for law cases and supporting to resolve disputes. Therefore, I will take knowledge
from two practical cases in Vietnam through this assignment to apply useful in real life and in
order to enhance one’s professional career in the future.
