关于安钢事件的一点看法
I am very impressed with the passion among the folks on the site in trying to help An Gang in the aftermath of his tragedy. However, I am very sorry to say that there is a limit what we could do to help in this situation. The following is my take on the issue, I welcome feedback from everyone.
Insurance Policy is a commercial contract, with very precise specifications in its terms, conditions and value of the policy. If Mr. An Gang had choosen a particular individual as the beneficiary when the policy was purchased. This individual will be receiving full payment of the policy's value. There is nothing anybody can do at this moment to change this. This is a non-disputable, clearly defined, legally binding contract that the insurance company has to pay out to the designated beneficiary unless fraud, or foul play is suspected.
Therefore, this is a very straight forward matter; and there will be no dispute at all as far as this insurance policy is concerned. When there is no dispute, there will be no need for any legal action, because the law will respect the contract as a valid and legal contract. Mediation will be of little use because the parties involved do not have any legally conflicting or overlapping interests. To put in a simpler words, unless his wife has a struck of good conscience, she is not obligated to share the compensation money with An's son, or anybody else. It is hers to keep. Straight and simple. Well, when morality runs into legality, the latter always prevails. This is the drawback of a legalized society.
I apologize that I have to write in English, as this allows me to write a lot faster than in Chinese. This is unfortunately a fact that I have shamefully reconciled with myself. I do hope that everybody understands my writing. Call me if you need any explanations. |
