Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 63 The Secret of Beiyuan's Victory

"Where is the court hearing?"

"Trial Court No. 1107, Shinjuku District Magistrate's Court." Miyagawa looked at the memo on the phone, then turned to look at the man beside him, and replied.

On July [-]th, at eight o'clock in the morning, a man and a woman were standing on the side of the street outside Jiang Teng's law firm.The man's suit and leather shoes looked like he was ready to go, and his expression seemed to be under control, which seemed a little relaxed and casual.The woman wore the usual beige trench coat and brown office skirt, looking elegant and luxurious.

Miyagawa did not expect that Kitahara was really good at predicting things, and the Shinjuku District Court actually arranged the trial of this case so quickly.

And the Shinjuku District Court has taken an unexpected approach to expediting the trial.

【Overlap calculation between the defense period and the proof period】

When Miyagawa received the court documents, she was already shocked by this method.According to the usual procedure, after the respondent receives the complaint, there is a period of time for defense.After the defense period, there is an additional period for proof.

This time, the Shinjuku District Magistrates Court actually overlapped the defense period and the proof period, and calculated them in parallel, achieving the goal of the fastest trial.

When Miyagawa thought of all this, it was still within Beiyuan's expectation, and he couldn't help but feel even more admirable in his heart.

While admiring, Miyagawa felt a little nervous.Although she worked as a lawyer for two years, she was engaged in non-litigation business, such as the issuance of stocks and bonds, in these two years.This is her first appearance as a litigator.

In the process of preparing to appear in court for this case, with the retrieval of materials, Miyagawa's heart became more and more uncertain.There has never been a judicial precedent to admit that traffic offenders can sue the expressway for failing to fulfill their maintenance responsibilities.I have racked my brains to collect all the laws and precedents I can collect.Although this case can be brought to the side of the civil law, it is only on the side. In terms of the choice of the cause of action, whether to choose a contract dispute or a tort dispute, Miyagawa has been entangled for a long time.

Most troubling, however, is the question of court precedent.

Although Toyo is not a country of case law, whether there are precedents in the tribunal in the past will have a great impact on litigation. Based on the principle of pursuing legal stability, courts generally follow precedents in making judgments.

In the absence of precedent, especially the special case of the traffic offender suing the highway, the court is likely to reject the judgment based on a conservative attitude.

Thinking about it, Miyagawa couldn't help but look like a discouraged ball, drooping his head, frowning slightly.However, in the process of searching for information, Beiyuan looked relaxed and at ease. Miyagawa didn't understand why Beiyuan was so calm, so he secretly glanced at Beiyuan next to him, and whispered: "Bei... Beiyuan , this case... I don't have... any background."

When Beiyuan heard Miyagawa's words, he turned his head, as if he had a well-thought-out look, giving people a feeling that "while talking and laughing, the mast and scull will be wiped out in ashes".Bei Yuan smiled and said, "Do you know where we can win this case?"

"Where is it?" Miya Chuan tilted her head, hearing what Bei Yuan said, her curious heart was immediately lifted.

"What is the reason for our case?" Bei Yuan asked.

"A dispute over a paid use contract. Because the client, Terai and Kawamoto Expressway, in the process of paying tolls on the road, actually reached a paid road use contract, so we went to the court to choose a civil case, and of course we chose a paid use contract. Disputes." Miyagawa replied confidently.

Bei Yuan nodded affirmatively, showing a somewhat mysterious smile, "Yes, the secret of our victory lies in this case."

"What do you mean?" Miyagawa leaned forward slightly, with his hair hanging down, he couldn't help asking.

"You repeat the case a few times, and you will naturally understand." Beiyuan showed a mischievous smile. Seeing Miyagawa's serious look, he couldn't help flirting again.

Miyagawa immediately kept reading like a repeater, "Contract Disputes for Paid Use", and when he read it for the sixth time, as if he had realized something, his face suddenly turned red, showing a face that was about to be annoyed , "Beiyuan! You're playing tricks on me again!"

Immediately afterwards, there was a man's laughter.

"Miyagawa, I'm not joking."

The two stood on the side of the street like this, waiting for the taxi called to come.

Miyagawa's feet were slightly brought together, but the anxiety in his heart was not soothed by Kitahara's joke.This case is too rare to find any precedent.This kind of case has little hope of being recognized before a conservative court.But if, in this way, who can stop the Kawamoto Expressway.

Just as he was thinking about something, Miyagawa glanced at Beiyuan from the corner of his eye, took out a thick booklet, flipped through it, and read the booklet with a serious expression.

"Bei Yuan, what are you looking at?"

"Oh," Kitahara smiled and shook the booklet in his hand, "I'm looking at the materials of the presiding judge this time. The presiding judge this time is Judge Kumagai Isamu. I'm looking at his past resume and cases. I think If I wasn't a lawyer, I'm afraid I should be very good friends with Judge Isamu Kumagai. I agree with many of his views."

Listening to Beiyuan's words, Miyakawa stuck out his tongue quietly, and then said: "It's true, it's fake. I want to see it too." After speaking, Miyakawa stood a little closer to Beiyuan, and put the This brochure is brought over.

But in the brochure, there was an extremely detailed resume introduction about Judge Kumagai.It not only details his life and specific educational experience, but even the homework papers that Judge Kumagai published when he was a student are included.In the thick booklet, there are more than 100 pages, and all of them are the materials of Judge Kumagai.

It brings together Judge Kumagai's resume, articles, speeches, precedents, academic conferences attended, seminar records, etc.On the booklet, there are marks made by pens of various colors, painted and painted, and bright marks are made everywhere. The corners of the booklet have also been rolled up and slightly tilted, as if the owner has been constantly flipping through them. , and become old.

When Miyakawa saw this booklet, she opened her mouth. She didn't expect that Beiyuan would collect the presiding judge's information to such an extent, so meticulously.This booklet almost turned Judge Kumagai's body over and over again, as if he had been investigated by a professional detective, and even had specific life hobbies.

Miyagawa held the booklet carefully and began to read it.His eyes scanned the rows of the booklet, and he flipped the pages gently with his hands.However, the further he read, Miyagawa's eyebrows trembled slightly, and the movement of flipping through his hands continued to speed up, especially when his eyes swept over the past cases of Judge Kumagai, the expression on Miyagawa's face became more and more rigid.

Miyagawa flipped through the booklet as quickly as possible, and she was shocked to find that: in the past cases of consumer lawsuits against listed companies, Judge Kumagai dismissed almost all of their lawsuits, and only a very small number of lawsuits were approved.Judge Kumagai's attitude is obviously pro-business, and he is extremely disgusted with troublesome lawsuits that unreasonably interfere with the company's operations, and there are many cases that have been dismissed in court.

If this kind of judge came to try the Terai case... the consequences would be unimaginable.

Before the brochure was finished, Miyagawa was already frozen in place.

This lawsuit...was...from the moment it was assigned to the judge...it was... over.

On the side of the street, a black taxi drove up. In the windshield, a small screen on the position of the rearview mirror displayed the word "Dial Call". The driver saw the two people on the side of the street and stepped on the Braking, the taxi stopped in front of the man and woman.The electric door then slowly opened.

Kitahara smiled at Miyagawa: "Let's go."
