9:53 a.m., Shinjuku City District Court

There are still 7 minutes left before the fourth hearing of the Terai v. Kawamoto Expressway case starts at 10 o'clock.

The location of the court session has changed again this time. Different from the last time, the location of this session is courtroom No. 823. This courtroom is the largest courtroom in the entire referee building, enough to accommodate a large number of spectators. At this time,

The gallery was already filled with reporters, officials, and invited members of the public.

The other courtrooms on the eighth floor have all been emptied out for the live broadcast of Court No. 823. Citizens who failed to win the auditorium ticket will go to these courts to watch the live broadcast of the court hearing.

At this time, Imanishi was sitting in the dock in court No. 823, with the corner of his mouth twitching slightly and his fingers tapping on the table, looking a little impatient. He never expected that he would sit back on this case again.

In the dock. Even after the other party filed a class action lawsuit, the opponent he had to face was actually Kitahara!

It’s still him!

Why did I still meet him!!

Since the class action lawyer selection meeting came out that day, I have already learned that the results are lawyer Nishimura Toshitaka and lawyer Sakai Tatsuo who will undertake the Kawamoto Expressway class action lawsuit. Imanishi has already begun to collect information on Nishimura and Sakai and begin to deal with the next class action lawsuit.

.

Just when I thought that Kitahara would completely disappear from this case, I never expected that Kitahara would actually come back again!

They actually proposed to remove Terai Terai from the list of class action lawsuits and continue to assert their rights through a separate lawsuit.

Yes. A person who claimed to initiate a class action lawsuit actually chose to withdraw from the class action lawsuit. This is simply fooling everyone!

Imanishi, who has always been rigid, couldn't stand this kind of behavior that was simply treating promises as child's play. This was simply embarrassing the lawyer.

At this time, Imanishi looked at the young male lawyer on the plaintiff's bench. However, since the other party chose to take the wrong approach, he was just here to completely defeat Kitahara. There is no doubt that this case of Terai v. Kawamoto Expressway

The outcome of this case will set a strong example for subsequent class actions.

If Kitahara is defeated, it will indirectly solve the thorny class action issue that will follow. Faced with such an opportunity, Imanishi can't wait for it.

As for the probability of defeating Kitahara, Imanishi thinks it is 100%. Just today, he learned from Kotaro the top-secret weapon for Kawamoto Expressway's victory. Although Imanishi used to serve as a sponsor lawyer for Kawamoto Expressway's non-litigation business, he heard it with his own ears.

The moment he arrived, he was shocked by the Kawamoto Expressway's network of connections.

Kawamoto Expressway did not take any action to interfere with the administration of justice.

But even so, it has won.

From a legal perspective, it has completely won.

And in today's court hearing, this top-secret weapon will be unveiled.

At this time, Kitahara and Miyagawa were sitting in the plaintiff's seat, looking at a brown file bag on the table. This brown file bag contained a forensic appraisal on whether the Kawamoto Expressway Patrol Form was signed continuously and was forged. If the appraisal result is correct,

If the signatures are continuously forged, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the chances of winning this lawsuit.

Miyagawa's right hand, wrapped with a band-aid, untied the string of the portfolio and shook out the information inside. As the envelope opened, the papers inside shook out and scattered on the table.

The piece of paper that happened to contain the conclusion of the forensic appraisal slid directly in front of the two of them.

But at the end of the appraisal opinion, there was a cold black font printed on it——

Appraisal opinion: The signatures on the inspection form are not consecutively signed.

Then there was a bright red seal of the Shinjuku City Meisho Judicial Appraisal Institute stamped next to the appraisal conclusion.

"How...how could it be like this?" Miyagawa couldn't believe the forensic opinions in front of him.

The man next to him couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he saw this result.

After a while, Kitahara seemed to have figured it out, and said in a deep voice: "I probably know what's going on. The forms submitted by Kawamoto Expressway should still be fake. It's just that these forms are not forged, but altered.

.”

【Transformation】

[The so-called alteration is based on some real material, modifying it, scribbling, etc., to turn it into a false material, which is different from complete forgery. A typical example is the alteration of currency.

For example, in currency counterfeiting, criminals can cut a real banknote into two pieces, and then splice the real half with the counterfeit half. Since this counterfeit currency still contains part of the contents of the real banknote, this

It is an alteration, not a complete forgery.]

"To be specific, the signatures on these forms should not be signed consecutively. The real part of the fraud should be the date." Kitahara said, "They should have taken the inspection form from a long time ago and submitted it to the court.

.It just changes the date to today’s date in some way.”

"So, the forensic appraisal conclusion shows that the inspection form is not back-stamped, and there is no problem at all. Because the real part of the fraud is not the signature, but the date. At the beginning, we should not only apply for identification of whether the signatures on it were back-dated consecutively, but also jointly and severally

An identification of whether the date has been altered must also be applied for."

"It's too much, they really have gone too far." Miyagawa's hair hung down from both sides of her face, making it difficult to see her eyes clearly. "They don't patrol the highway seriously and treat everyone's precious lives as a trifling matter. We will publish reports later.

He slandered our client and now openly uses false materials to mislead the judicial appraisal."

"They...they really went too far."

Miyagawa's body seemed to be shaking slightly, his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles were white from exertion, and blood seemed to be spilling from the band-aid on his right index finger, as if there was an emotion brewing.

At this time, a crisp sound sounded, and the small indicator light on the secret door on the side of the trial court turned from red to green. Immediately, the figures of three judges slowly walked into the trial court. The judge in the center

Long, still Judge Kumagai.

As soon as Judge Kumagai took his seat, a figure stood up immediately on the plaintiff's bench.

Miyagawa's eyes were glowing with red threads, and her usually timid and soft voice became cold at this time.

"Chief Judge, before the trial, I have a request. After the lawsuit started, Kawamoto Expressway published a number of false reports to attack and slander my client, which caused great psychological pressure on my client's body and mind. This despicable

This behavior seriously hindered the litigation of this case. The plaintiff’s attorney requested the court to judicially detain the legal representative of Kawamoto Expressway, Kotaro Kawamoto, on the grounds of disrupting the order of civil proceedings!”

Miyagawa's voice echoed inside the courtroom.

The gavel has not fallen yet.

The trial has not yet begun.
Chapter completed!
