Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 201

In the courtroom, a female clerk walked out of the secret door, holding a stack of materials in her hand, and walked to the shorthand table in the middle of the courtroom under the gaze of everyone.The process of verifying the identity of lawyers began, and the attorneys of all parties immediately stepped forward and handed over their lawyer certificates to the clerk of the court for verification.Among them, Gu Meimen is the agent of the defendant Akagi Hotel Group and Tokugawa Keiji, while Machiko is the agent of the third party, Aobadai Apartment Owners Committee and Baile Taste Catering Club.

The clerk turned over the lawyer's card and carefully compared the power of attorney they submitted to the court. "Shua, Shua, Shua." The courtroom was so quiet that the sound of turning the pages of the documents, under the tense and dignified atmosphere, seemed to touch the heartstrings of the people present every time a page was turned.

After checking the identity, the clerk returned the lawyer's card to Sifang's attorney, picked up the landline phone on the shorthand desk, pressed the number, and after whispering a few words into the receiver, hung up the phone, looked up and said: "The judge is about to All seated, please stand up!"

Not much sound.

Everyone in the court immediately stood up respectfully.

There was a sound of footsteps at the secret door, and then a figure appeared, and seven judges in black robes slowly walked out from behind the door.The seven magistrates stepped into the courtroom in turn.Their expressions were solemn, and against the background of the black robes, an invisible majesty exuded. These seven figures suddenly pushed the sense of authority of the High Court to its peak.

Seven... seven magistrates? !
Some reporters who are familiar with the judicial process in the auditorium could not help being secretly surprised when they saw this scene.

Generally speaking, the number of collegiate panels in higher courts is 3, 5, or 7.Although theoretically speaking, the more serious the case is, the larger the number of collegiate panels should be.

However, in order to improve judicial efficiency and save judges' time, the court often only forms a three-member collegial panel even though the law stipulates that the maximum number of collegiate panels can be up to seven.In recent years, it has been quite rare for a high court to have a 7-member collegial panel, but now, the highest number of 3-member collegial panels has been formed.

Among the seven judges, the chief referee in the middle is also eye-catching.He looked very young, only in his thirties, in stark contrast to the judges next to him who looked in their 7s.

Standing on the trial bench, Judge Jiang Tian looked at the scene in front of the courtroom and felt that he had thrown himself a hot potato this time.He had read the dossier of this land infringement before, but he did not expect that the first case in the High Court would be so difficult.

"All sit down," the clerk announced after the judges had taken their seats.

Everyone in the court sat down respectfully again.

Judge Jiang Tian sat on the trial bench and said, "The pre-court clerk has verified the identities of the agents of all parties, and the collegial panel has also informed all parties in writing of their litigation rights and obligations. According to the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, the judge in this case Those who have an interest in the outcome of the trial of the case can apply for recusal. Are the representatives of all parties applying for recusal now?"

"No application." Miyagawa Saeko, Machiko, and Gu Meimen replied at the same time.

Judge Eda immediately raised his voice, "The case of Takai v. Akagi Hotel Group and Keiji Tokugawa's exclusion of nuisance dispute is now open for trial!"

"Crack!" There was a crisp sound of the hammer.

"The plaintiff, please read the civil complaint." Judge Jiang Tian said.

This judicial case, which has aroused great public attention, finally ushered in a formal court session.

Kitahara's debt of [-] million yen, Shimada's career as a bank vice president, Takai's protection of his father's land, Hanada's croquet dream, Kamezaburo's ambitious overseas mergers and acquisitions.The fate of these five people was entangled at the moment when the gavel was struck, and they were about to usher in an unprecedented confrontation.Between the raising and falling of the gavel, the remaining life direction of these five people is determined.

Hearing the sound of the gavel, Kitahara felt that he was teetering on the verge of danger because of a debt of [-] million yen. The morbid excitement suddenly surged up again. He turned his head and whispered to Miyagawa next to him, " I will leave it to you to read the indictment, and I will do the rest—all.”

Miyagawa nodded, holding the civil complaint, stood up, and read out:

"The plaintiff Masahiko Takai owns a stadium under the name of A568013 in Shinjuku District, Tokyo. The building known as "General Hotel" is located on land No. A58233507, Shinjuku District, Tokyo. On November 568014 this year, during the land boundary survey, the plaintiff found that the real estate jointly owned by the defendant crossed the land boundary and occupied the real estate land under the plaintiff's name For the relevant land occupation situation, please refer to the evidence materials attached to the civil complaint.”

"The Civil Code stipulates that 'the owner may request the return of those who have no right to possess or usurp their property, and may request the removal of those who violate their ownership." Buildings encroaching on plaintiff's land."

"The indictment has been read out."

The entire indictment is less than [-] words.

Within 2 minutes, the reading has been completed.

The facts described are exceptionally simple and clear.

It makes it impossible to start questioning.

At this moment, all eyes in the auditorium were on the lawyer in the dock.There have been rumors before that Akagi Hotel Group spent nearly 30 billion yen in legal fees to hire lawyer Gu Meimen.Everyone couldn't help but wonder how this barrister who accepted sky-high legal fees would behave.

Gu Meimen smiled slightly, handed a piece of paper in her hand to Machiko next to her, and then said to the court: "Chief judge. In the current civil procedure law, there is no provision for the defense stage. In this regard, after discussing with Attorney Dai, we asked the third person to express their opinions at the defense stage, and then the defendants [-] and [-] will make the defense.”

Judge Jiang Tian nodded slightly at the trial bench, expressing his agreement, "The third party's attorney, Lawyer Dai, is invited to speak."

Machiko looked at the document handed over by Gu Meimen in her hand, and couldn't help but sweat for the lawyer Miyagawa opposite.

In this lawsuit, all the documents and strategies were prepared by Gu Meimen.

All the cunning of this man and his extremely sophisticated understanding of the law are fully displayed in these court documents.

I'm afraid...the opponent can't even survive a round.

In this lawsuit, he is Gu Meimen's puppet, a repeater.

Act according to his cold will.

The two lawyers on the opposite side will face the monster-like legal skills of lawyer Gu Meimen, and directly bear the attack and crush from this barrister.

Holding the document in her hand, Machiko stood up and said, "Chief referee. Now the third person in this case, the Aobadai Apartment Owners Committee, is speaking. , Freezing Property Regulations, the plaintiff, Gao Jing, has no right to file a lawsuit to eliminate the nuisance!"
