As Imanishi finished speaking, he slowly walked back to the defendant's seat and sat back down as if he had completed an elegant performance.

The atmosphere in the courtroom was filled with a terrifying silence. Every movement and sound in the courtroom, even a cough from the auditorium, could be heard clearly. At this time, every round of debate opinions were expressed.

All will affect the tendency of the judges on the bench, and then affect the judgment of the case - ultimately forming a reference for the class actions that will be handled later.

Miyagawa's argument was shattered in an instant by his father Imanishi's argument. He originally wanted to attack the credibility of the evidence on the grounds that the evidence on record to prove the Kawamoto Expressway's performance of maintenance obligations was unilaterally produced by the defendant. However,

Under Imanishi's argument, the maintenance inspection records were produced unilaterally by the defendant, which is not only not unreasonable, but also inevitable.

This discussion not only undermined the opponent's attack invisibly, but also enhanced the credibility of one's own evidence.

This is the terrifying strength of the director of the 1000-meter club law firm.

Looking at the defendant's dock opposite, Kitahara smiled, loosened his too-tight tie on his seat, and stood up unsteadily. That detached and calm temperament was actually different from that of the senior lawyer of the listed company opposite.

It's almost the same, and he has a very familiar feeling with the rhythm of the trial.

There was no hint of nervousness from him, and there was no sign that he was someone who was bearing the pressure of a class action lawsuit behind him.

"Chief referee." Kitahara looked at Judge Kumagai and raised his voice. "The credibility of the evidence provided by Kawamoto Expressway does not depend on whether they can corroborate each other. It depends on whether it can reasonably reflect that Kawamoto Expressway has truly

Maintenance obligations have been fulfilled in accordance with national standards."

"The series of so-called internal regulations, inspection and maintenance sheets, cleaning records, etc. provided by the defendant are all documents produced based on a certain process or rule of the company. Of course, they can corroborate each other and justify themselves. However, this "mutuality"

"Confirmation" is a kind of false mutual confirmation. It is just a self-circulating argument within an internal system."

As he spoke, Kitahara raised the A4 paper in his hand, "We can see the "Road Inspection and Cleaning Management Measures" submitted by Kawamoto Expressway for the section involved in the case. This so-called "Management Measures" serves as the company's internal regulations.

, there is no official company seal on the document. There is no specific record of which company meeting passed it. There is also no date when this regulation came into effect."

"This kind of rough evidence lacks many traceable details and cannot be further investigated to confirm each other."

"The so-called true mutual confirmation." Beihara grinned slightly, looked at the dock, and deliberately paused his sentence. The smile seemed to be wrapped in infinite ridicule, as if he was mocking nakedly: "You can't even make a lie.

make."

Seeing Kitahara's smile, Imanishi's heart suddenly trembled. Now, facing Kitahara, Imanishi has already felt real pressure, not only because of Kitahara's debating skills, but also because he is now behind him.

A class action lawsuit involving tens of thousands of people.

Imanishi took a deep breath and picked up the pen.

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

"Please refer to the chief referee and see the cleaning time on the Cleaning Record Sheet." Kitahara sneered: It shows that the cleaning end time of the G227 section of the highway involved in the case is 15:10. The time of my client Terai's car accident was no more than 20 minutes.

.Just after the road surface cleaning time ended, there were still obstacles on the highway. Even if the Kawamoto Expressway was actually paved, this proves that the defendant Kawamoto Expressway’s road cleaning activities did not actually discover and remove road obstacles, and its road maintenance was

Not careful, not thorough, just skimming over it."

"Judging from the cleaning records and the time of the accident, Kawamoto Expressway has not truly maintained the road surface in accordance with national standards. The series of materials provided cannot reasonably reflect Kawamoto Expressway's performance of maintenance obligations.

"Therefore, these evidences are not credible. Kawamoto Expressway must provide more evidence other than paper to prove that the maintenance obligations have been truly fulfilled. Otherwise, these paper records, even if they can be so-called 'mutual corroboration', are not credible."

Credibility!”

Imanishi's hand holding the pen began to tremble slightly due to nervousness. At this time, he found that he had to think carefully before he could reply to the young man. Imanishi quickly turned over the dossier materials on the table, making a clattering sound.

After a while he stood up and said:

“The issue of cleaning time that the plaintiff’s attorney mentioned just now is, in fact, a special supervision group is responsible for recording the cleaning time in Kawamoto Expressway. The time end record on the cleaning schedule is actually when the supervision group sees the cleaning staff returning

The time at the maintenance center does not represent the actual end time of pavement cleaning.”

“Considering the time it takes to return to the maintenance center from the other end of the road, it is very likely that the road maintenance was completed before 2:30, which is more than an hour before the plaintiff Terai’s car accident. So during this time

It is completely acceptable to have new truck spillage inside."

"Please consider that the roadside sign on the Kawamoto Expressway has a reporting phone number. Anyone who finds something spilled on the road can call the number on the sign to report, and the maintenance center personnel will be dispatched in time to clean the road surface. 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 his words, Imanishi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

But he saw Kitahara in the plaintiff's seat looking at Imanishi with a strange expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Next second.

I heard the young male lawyer say: "Chief referee, the defendant's lawyer just put forward a new point of view on the cleaning schedule record. This belongs to the scope of evidence and is not a court argument. It should not be carried out in the court argument stage.

Published. If the defendant's lawyer wants to express his understanding of the end time of cleaning, he should apply to the chief referee to suspend the court debate and return to the court investigation stage. Otherwise, the so-called opinions of the defendant's attorney just now should not be adopted,"

"You...!" Imanishi opened his mouth and wanted to refute Beihara's words, but found that he could not refute. He was stuck. He was stuck in the court.

If the previous two confrontations with Kitahara in the law firm were caused by the presence of his daughter Miyagawa, which made him upset and unexpectedly stuck, then this time in court, he was really forced to do something by Kitahara.

To the point of being speechless.

Imanishi quickly turned over the materials on the dock and said, "Chief referee, please take a look at a surveillance video we submitted before. Although the surveillance video was not played in court, the video was from a camera at the entrance and exit of the nursing center.

The content shows that during the inspection period, there were work vehicles driving out of the maintenance center of Kawamoto Expressway, which just shows that Kawamoto Expressway is truly fulfilling its maintenance obligations and can be mutually corroborated with the paper records!!!"

As soon as Imanishi finished speaking, Kitahara's voice sounded again:

"The defendant's agent provided surveillance video, but only the time of the scene in the video was supported, and the time when the video file was generated was not provided. The credibility is questionable!"

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. It was pressing towards him step by step, and its sharp fangs were already attached to his face.

Face. Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something, and said as if grasping a life-saving straw: "Chief referee! Just now the plaintiff was also expressing his cross-examination opinions! It should not be expressed during the court debate!"

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

At this time, after several rounds of exchanges between Kitahara and Imanishi, the audience in the auditorium was also confused. Not only the ordinary citizens were confused, but also the middle- and senior-level lawyers from Imanishi Law Firm who came to observe.

Whether the evidence provided by Kawamoto Expressway such as a series of inspection sheets is credible or not, after listening to the debates between both sides, they were unable to form a preferred 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 produced by one party. On the one hand, these documents can corroborate each other, but on the other hand, the so-called mutuality of these evidences

The confirmation is only formed within a closed loop. As a result, there are doubts about the credibility.

The middle- and senior-level lawyers at Imanishi Law Firm suddenly discovered that the battle in front of them was no longer an area they could deal with.

Judge Kumagai, who was on the referee's bench, looked at the two lawyers who had just argued passionately and said calmly: "Do the lawyers on both sides have any additional arguments to make?"

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