Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 158 Decision
"No application." Machiko looked up and replied.

The voice fell, and the court became quiet.As usual, there should be a voice from the dock, "No application." However, there was no voice from the dock.This abnormality made the attention from the trial seat focus on the defendant's seat for a moment.

Hearing the voice of the lawyer opposite, Miyagawa couldn't help but "thump" in his heart, then lowered his head slightly, bit his lips lightly, and began to think rapidly in his mind.It's like repeatedly weighing the weight of the weight on both sides of the balance.However, no matter how you choose, there will always be bad consequences on both sides.Whether you apply or not, there are risks.

The gaze from the judge seat seemed to nail strings in front of Miyagawa, and there seemed to be a mechanical shaft on the table that was constantly twisting and tightening these strings.Every second the silence lasts, the string will be tightened accordingly.The string was constantly stretched and thinned, as if it would break due to pressure at any time, turning into a sharp broken thread and drawing towards Miyagawa's cheek.

The female lawyer sitting in the dock still didn't say a word, she just frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

"Defendant's attorney, do you apply for recusal?" Judge Jiang Tian leaned forward slightly, looking curiously at the seat on his left.

Following the judge's questioning again, the winch in the void seemed to make a loud cracking sound, and suddenly started to rotate.The already tense strings were suddenly tightened again, and the cracks suddenly turned into almost invisible filaments in less than a second, and broke with a "crack" in the next instant.

Countless strings suddenly scraped towards Miyagawa's cheek.

Miyagawa's body trembled slightly, and his heart was beating violently to the extreme.

At this point, even before the court session, she needs to make this decision alone—a decision that may have a decisive impact on the outcome of the case.

At this time, the plaintiff's seat also seemed to have noticed something unusual, and two eyes also fell on Miyagawa.

It was like thinking hard for a long time in front of an unsolvable chess game.Every place where the ball is placed seems to be ambushing murderous intentions from all sides, as long as one careless step, the whole game will be lost.People have to hesitate, but they can't escape, they must settle.The dilemma in front of us is like the square lines on a chess game, criss-crossing and extending in all directions, with countless possibilities.

next second.

A female voice echoed.

Some belatedly answered the question.

"No application."

Those words echoed in the courtroom.

Judge Jiang Tian nodded slightly, his expression seemed to be curious why the defendant's attorney didn't answer this question right away, but he still raised the gavel indifferently and knocked off the base.

The brown mallet collided with the base.

A "click" sound.

A crisp knocking sound suddenly came out.

The sound of the gavel marked the official opening of Miyagawa's first independent case.

At the same time, this also means that the land seizure plan of the Grand General Hotel has come to the second critical step.

Judge Jiang Tian slightly raised his voice, and after the sound of the hammer, he announced: "The case of the Aobadai Apartment Owners' Committee v. Gaojing Neighboring Land Right of Way Dispute is now in court!"

Hearing the sound of the gavel, Miyagawa was already a little dazed.The court had already opened, and she finally chose not to apply for the challenge, so as not to annoy the judge. This was a decision she made at the last moment.Miyagawa, she didn't know if her decision was correct.Have you made an irreparable mistake yourself?

Suppose, Judge Jiang Tian really brought the prejudice of the previous case to this case.Then, from the moment the gavel was struck, he had already lost.

Huatian, the training place for the ten female players, will also be taken away.

In her heart, the girl couldn't help being shaken and hesitated by her choice.

At this moment, a somewhat gentle male voice rang beside his ears.

That familiar whisper.

And that somewhat intimate distance.

It was as if he could hear the breathing of the man next to him.

For a moment, the earlobe seemed to be able to feel the breath of the other party.

"Just now you wanted to mention the recusal. It was correct not to mention it." Kitahara tilted his head slightly, moved closer to Miyagawa, and lowered his voice to the ear canal, "Only if there are factors that affect the fair trial of the judge, can the application for recusal be successful. Only Just hearing related cases does not meet the requirements for applying for recusal.”

"If you apply for recusal, the head of the court will basically refuse. Moreover, this case is a summary procedure, and most of the judges want to speed up the trial. If you file a recusal application, the judge will probably think that we are trying to delay time, but the impression of us will become worse."

"So, you did the right thing." Bei Yuan said.

am i doing it right

When Miyagawa heard that Kitahara agreed with his opinion, he couldn't help being taken aback, as if he couldn't believe it.It seemed that after repeated confirmations, he heard the whisper in his ear clearly, and after realizing that this was really his recognition, those somewhat dark eyes lit up again.

I... I did the right thing.

The heart that was a little shaken seemed to be supported by the whispered words for an instant.Like a big tree that has withered, it grows dense branches and leaves again in an instant.The somewhat broken roots once again burst out with amazing vitality, tightly entangled in the soil.As if being re-infused with water, the trunk swelled up again.

"You have to trust your own judgment." The voice of the man beside him came.

"En." Miyagawa nodded, as if the kite had made up for the broken thread again, and the eyes radiated bright brilliance again.

Judge Jiang Tian sat on the trial seat, leaned back in his chair, and looked at the plaintiff, "The plaintiff's attorney, please read the civil complaint."

When Machiko heard the plaintiff's voice, she immediately stood up, standing upright with some pride.The already extremely beautiful face, coupled with the tall and straight posture, suddenly looked like a slim lotus, blooming in the court, dazzling.

At this moment, her heart was full of confidence.After continuous research and sorting out of the case, she has the confidence to win the dispute over the right of way in the neighboring land.Moreover, just now she noticed that the female lawyer named Miyagawa in the dock seemed to be nervous again.

Although, I don't understand why the female lawyer named Miyagawa didn't immediately answer the question about avoidance.

But judging from his resume, this lawyer Miyagawa only became a trainee lawyer this year, and he should have been engaged in non-litigation activities before.Judging from her nervous performance before the trial, this should be a novice who is in court for the first time
Although the person on the other side didn't know how the work was divided, judging from the laid-back look of the lawyer on the other side, Beiyuan, it was very likely that he would not speak again today.

In other words, the enemy she faced today was just a novice who was in court for the first time.

Lawyer Gu Meimen handed over this annoying entrustment to her, but since she handed it over, she might as well do her best to fight it thoroughly.

Holding the civil complaint in her hand, Machiko officially read: "The chief judge. The real estate managed by the Plaintiff Aobadai Apartment Owners Committee is located on land A58012 in Shinjuku District, Tokyo. It is a super high-rise residential building with more than 500 households. Residents, the relevant apartment house real estate title certificates are No. A58012330 to A58012950. The defendant Masahiko Takai owns a stadium, which is located on land No. A568013 in Shinjuku District, Tokyo, and the relevant real estate title number is A58233507."

"Among them, the defendant Gao Jing's stadium is located on the south side of the plaintiff's apartment. Since July this year, due to the construction of the Sanliang subway station, an underground tunnel will pass by the super high-rise apartment managed by the plaintiff. In order to prevent damage to the foundation of the high-rise building Due to adverse effects, the subway construction company carried out trench work, resulting in the construction blocking the roads on the north, west, and east sides of the Aobadai apartment.”

"The entrances and exits on the above three sides of Aobatai Apartment are all blocked by the subway construction, and they cannot pass through normal roads to the outside world. The only thing that can be used as an entrance and exit is the stadium on the south side of the plaintiff's apartment, which is also under the name of the defendant. However, the defendant has been ignoring the plaintiff’s right of passage and has been refusing to open the stadium, and there have been many conflicts between the plaintiff and the defendant on the issue of access. The refusal to open the stadium has had a significant adverse impact on the normal life of the residents of the plaintiff’s apartment.”

"In order to protect residents' normal living needs, the plaintiff, Aobadai Apartment Owners Committee, requests the court to order: first, to confirm that the residents of the plaintiff's apartment have the right of way to the adjacent land of the stadium owned by the defendant Gao Jing, that is, land A568013; Second, confirm that the scope of the site that the defendant should open is at least equivalent to a standard sidewalk and motorway. The width of the sidewalk should not be less than 0.75 meters, and the width of the motorway should not be less than the width of a bicycle plus 0.3 meters.”

"The indictment has been read out."

Machiko looked up at the other party's dock, eyes full of belief in victory.
