Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 111 The Final Battle
As Imam's words fell, he slowly walked back to the defendant's seat, as if he had completed an elegant performance, and sat back in his seat.

The atmosphere in the courtroom was filled with a terrifying silence.Every movement and sound in the courtroom, even a cough from the auditorium can be clearly heard.At this time, the publication of each round of debate opinions will affect the tendency of the judges on the seat, and then affect the judgment of the case-finally forming a reference for the class action that will be dealt with later.

Miyagawa's argument just now was disintegrated in an instant after his father Imamishi's discussion.Originally, they wanted to attack the credibility of the evidence on the grounds that the evidence on file to prove that Kawamoto Expressway fulfilled its maintenance obligations was unilaterally produced by the defendant.However, under Imamishi's discussion, it is not unreasonable, but inevitable, for the maintenance and inspection records to be made by the defendant unilaterally.

This statement not only disintegrated the opponent's attack invisibly, but also enhanced the credibility of the own evidence.

This is the terrifying strength of the director of the 1000-meter club law firm,
Looking at the opposite dock, Bei Yuan smiled, loosened the tight tie on the seat, and stood up somewhat unsteadily.That detached and calm demeanor was comparable to that of the senior lawyer of the listed company opposite him, and he was extremely familiar with the rhythm of the trial.

There is no tension in him at all, and it is completely impossible to see that he is a person who is bearing the pressure of the group lawsuit behind him.

"Chief referee." Kitahara looked at Judge Kumagai and raised his voice. "The credibility of the evidence provided by Chuanben Expressway does not lie in its mutual verification. It lies in whether it can reasonably reflect that Chuanben Expressway has truly fulfilled its maintenance obligations in accordance with national standards."

"The series of so-called internal regulations, inspection and maintenance forms, cleaning record forms, etc. provided by the defendant are all documents produced according to a certain process or rule of the company. Of course, they can be mutually verified and justified. However, this "mutual Confirmation" is a false mutual confirmation, it is just a self-circulating argument within an internal system."

While talking, Beiyuan raised the A4 paper in his hand, "We can see the "Administrative Measures for Road Surface Inspection and Cleaning" submitted by Kawamoto Expressway. This so-called "Management Measures" is an internal regulation of the company. , There is no official company seal stamped on the document. There is no specific record of which company meeting passed it. There is also no time when this regulation will take effect."

"This kind of rough evidence lacks many details that can be traced, and it is impossible to conduct further investigations to confirm each other."

"The so-called true mutual confirmation", Beiyuan grinned slightly, looked at the dock, and paused the sentence deliberately.There was infinite sarcasm wrapped in that smile, as if he was mocking nakedly: "You don't even know how to make fakes."

Seeing Kitahara's smile, Imanishi's heart suddenly trembled again.Now, in the face of Beiyuan, Imanishi has already felt the real pressure, not only because of Beiyuan's argumentation skills, but also because behind him is a group lawsuit of up to [-] people.

Imanishi took a deep breath and picked up the pen.

This was the first time Imamishi picked up a pen when facing Kitahara in the Terai case, and seriously prepared to record what Kitahara said, so that he could quickly refute the opponent's arguments.

"Please referee to see the cleaning time on the "Cleaning Record Form"." Bei Yuan sneered and said: It shows that the cleaning end time of the G227 section of the expressway involved in the case is 15:10.It was no more than 20 minutes from my client Terai's car accident.Just after the road cleaning time ended, there were still obstacles on the road surface.Even if Kawamoto Expressway actually carried out road surface cleaning, this proves that the defendant Kawamoto Expressway's road surface cleaning activities did not really discover and remove road surface obstacles at all, and its road surface maintenance was careless, incomplete, and rough. "

"Judging from the cleaning records and the time of the accident, Chuanben Expressway did not really maintain the road surface in accordance with national standards. The series of materials it provided could not reasonably reflect that Chuanben Expressway fulfilled its maintenance obligations.

"Therefore, these evidences are not credible. Chuanben Expressway must provide more evidence other than paper to prove that the maintenance obligation has been fulfilled. Otherwise, these paper records, even if they can be so-called 'mutual verification', are not credible. Reliability!"

Imanishi holds the pen hand.He also began to tremble slightly due to nervousness.At this time, he found that he had to think carefully before he could fight back with this young man.Imanishi quickly flipped through the dossier materials on the desktop, made a sound of papers rattling, stood up after a while and said:

"The cleaning time issue mentioned by the plaintiff's agent just now, in fact, for the record of cleaning time, there is a special supervision team in Kawamoto Expressway. The time at the maintenance center does not mean the actual end of cleaning the road surface."

"Considering the time it takes to return to the maintenance center from the other side of the road, the road maintenance is likely to be completed before 2:1, which is more than an hour from the time when the plaintiff Terai's car accident occurred. Then during this time It's totally acceptable to have new truck spills inside."

"Please consider that the roadside signs on the Chuanben Expressway have reporting telephones. Anyone who finds any spills on the road can call the number on the signs to report, and the maintenance center personnel will be dispatched in time to clean up the road. The plaintiff just now The issue of cleaning record time raised by the agent is not enough to shake the credibility of the evidence submitted by Kawamoto Expressway."

After finishing speaking, Imanishi wiped the sweat from his brow.

However, Kitahara, who was in the plaintiff's seat, was looking at Imanishi with a strange expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

next second.

I heard the young male lawyer say: "Chief referee. Just now, the defendant's lawyer put forward a new point of view on the time record of the cleaning watch. This belongs to the scope of proof opinions, not court debate opinions, and should not be carried out during the court debate stage. Published. If the defendant’s lawyer wants to express his understanding of the cleaning end time, he should apply to the chief judge to suspend the court debate and return to the court investigation stage, otherwise the so-called opinion of the defendant’s attorney just now should not be adopted,”

"You...!" Imanishi opened his mouth, wanting to refute Beiyuan's words, but found that he was unable to refute.He's stuck.Stuck in court.

If it is said that the previous two confrontations with Beiyuan in the law firm were caused by the presence of his daughter Miyagawa, which disturbed him and caused him to get stuck accidentally, then this time in court, he was really forced by Beiyuan. Arrived speechless.

Imam quickly flipped through the materials on the dock again, and remedied: "Chief referee, please look at a surveillance video we submitted earlier. Although this surveillance video was not played in court, it is a camera at the entrance and exit of the nursing center. The content shows that during the inspection period, there were operating vehicles leaving the maintenance center of the Chuanben Expressway, which just shows that the Chuanben Expressway is actually fulfilling its maintenance obligations, which can be mutually verified with the paper records!!!”

As soon as Jinxi's words fell, Beiyuan's voice sounded again:

"The defendant's agent provided the surveillance video, but only the frame time in the video was used as evidence, and the generation time of the video file was not provided. The credibility is doubtful!"

Imanishi was stuck again, he found that the figure of the young man in front of him looked like a monster with a gaping mouth, pressing towards him step by step, and the sharp fangs had already stuck to his face.Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he said as if grasping at a life-saving straw: "Chief referee! The plaintiff was also expressing his cross-examination opinion just now! It should not be published during the court debate!"

Imanishi has "surrendered" to some extent.He found that, as a litigator with decades of experience, he had actually learned something from the little kid in front of him.

At this time, after several rounds of firefights between Beiyuan and Jinxi, the audience in the auditorium was also dumbfounded.Not only ordinary citizens were dumbfounded, but even the middle and senior lawyers of Jinxi Law Firm who came to observe were also dumbfounded.

Whether Kawamoto Expressway provided a series of inspection forms and other evidence is credible or unreliable. After listening to the debates between the two sides, they could not form a biased opinion.

On the one hand, these evidences were unilaterally produced by Kawamoto Expressway, but on the other hand, the formation of these evidences can only be formed by unilateral production.On the one hand, these documents can corroborate each other, but on the other hand, the so-called mutual verification of these evidences is only formed within a closed loop.As a result, there are doubts about the credibility.

The middle and senior lawyers of Jinxi Law Firm suddenly realized that the battle in front of them was no longer in their field.

Judge Kumagai on the referee's seat looked at the two lawyers who had just argued fiercely, and said calmly: "Do the lawyers of both sides have any additional arguments to express?"

"No, chief referee." Imanoshi and Kitahara replied in unison.

"The next focus of controversy is whether Kawamoto Expressway has fulfilled its road maintenance obligations. The plaintiff's attorney is invited to make a debate." The voice of Judge Kumagai came from the referee's seat.
