Chapter 199: Court Session

In the court, a female clerk walked out of the secret door, holding a stack of materials in her hand. Under the gaze of everyone, she walked to the shorthand table in the middle of the court. The process of verifying the identity of the lawyer began, and the attorneys of all parties

Then he stepped forward and submitted his lawyer's certificate to the court clerk for verification. Among them, Gu Meimen was the agent of the defendant Akagi Hotel Group, Tokugawa Keiji, while Machiko was the third party, Aoba Terrace Apartment Owners Committee, Baile

Agent of Taste Catering Co., Ltd.

The clerk flipped through the lawyer's certificate and carefully compared it with the power of attorney they submitted to the court. "Whoa, whoa, whoa." The court was so quiet that you could hear the sound of the pages of documents being turned. In the tense and solemn atmosphere, it seemed that every page of the document was turned.

Every page will touch the heartstrings of everyone present.

After verifying the identity, the clerk returned the lawyer's card to the agents, picked up the landline phone on the stenography desk, pressed the number, and after whispering a few words into the microphone, hung up the phone, looked up and said: "The judge is about to call."

Take your seats, please all stand up!"

Not loud.

Everyone in the courtroom immediately stood up respectfully.

There was a sound of footsteps at the secret door, and then a figure appeared. Seven magistrates in black robes slowly walked out from behind the door. The seven magistrates walked into the trial seat in the court one after another. Their expressions were solemn,

Against the backdrop of the black robes, an invisible majesty exuded, and these seven figures instantly pushed the sense of authority of the High Inquisition to its peak.

Seven...seven magistrates?!

Some reporters who were familiar with judicial procedures in the gallery could not help but be secretly surprised when they saw this scene.

Generally speaking, the number of people in the collegial panel of the High Court is 3, 5, or 7 people. Although theoretically speaking, the more serious the case, the more the number of people in the collegial panel should be.

However, in order to improve judicial efficiency and save judges' time, courts often form only three-member collegial panels in practice, even though the law stipulates that the maximum number of collegial panels can be seven. In recent years, it is quite rare for high courts to have five-member collegial panels.

But now, a 7-member collegial panel with the highest number of people has been formed.

Among the seven magistrates, the chief referee in the middle is equally eye-catching. He looks very young, only about thirty years old, and there are several magistrates next to him who look to be in their fifties.

, forming a sharp contrast.

Judge Eda stood on the bench and looked at the scene in front of the court. He felt that he had been thrown a hot potato this time. He had already read the file on this land infringement before, but he did not expect that in the High Tribunal's

The first case was so difficult.

"Please all sit down." After the judge took his seat, the clerk announced.

Everyone in the court sat down respectfully again.

Judge Eda sat on the bench and said, "The pre-trial clerk has verified the identities of the attorneys of each party, and the collegial panel has also informed all parties in writing of their litigation rights and obligations. In accordance with the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, the judge in this case believes that

If you have an interest in the outcome of the case, you can apply for recusal. Now, do the attorneys of each party apply for recusal."

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

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

"Click!" There was a crisp sound of the gavel.

"Please ask the plaintiff to read out the civil complaint." Judge Eda said.

This judicial case, which has attracted great public attention, finally has its official hearing.

Kitahara's 500 million yen debt, Shimada's career as a bank vice president, Takai's protection of his father's land, Hanada's goalball dream, and Kamesaburo's ambition to conduct overseas mergers and acquisitions. The fate of these five people depends on each other.

At the moment of the smash, they are entangled together and are about to face an unprecedented showdown. Between the raising and falling of the gavel, the rest of the lives of these five people will be decided.

Kitahara listened to the sound of the gavel. He was now teetering on the edge of danger due to a debt of 500 million yen. The morbid excitement suddenly surged up again. He turned to Miyagawa next to him and laughed softly, "

I'll leave it to you to read out the indictment, and I'll do the rest."

Miyagawa nodded, held the civil complaint in hand, stood up, and read out:

"Plaintiff Masahiko Takai owns a golf course located on land No. A568013 in Shinjuku District, Tokyo, and the related real estate number is A58233507. Defendant Akagi Hotel Group and defendant Keiji Tokugawa jointly own a building named

The building called "Shogun Hotel" is located on land No. A568014, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo. On November 13 this year, during the land boundary survey, the plaintiff discovered that the real estate jointly held by the defendant had crossed the land boundary and occupied the real estate land in the plaintiff's name.

.For the relevant land occupation, please refer to the evidence materials attached to the civil complaint for details.”

"Civil law stipulates that 'any owner who has no right to possess or usurp his property may request the return of his property. Anyone who interferes with his property rights may request its removal.' The plaintiff now requests the court to order that the first and second defendants remove their property."

A building encroaching on the plaintiff’s land.”

"The indictment has been read out."

The entire indictment is less than three hundred words.

Within two minutes, the reading was completed.

The facts described are exceptionally simple and clear.

It's impossible to question it at all.

At this moment, all the eyes in the auditorium have focused on the lawyer in the dock. There have been rumors before that the Akagi Hotel Group spent nearly 3 billion yen in sky-high legal fees to hire lawyer Gu Meimen. Everyone couldn't help but become curious.

, how will this barrister who accepted sky-high legal fees perform.

Gu Meimen smiled slightly, handed a piece of paper in his hand to Machiko next to him, and then said to the court: "Chief Judge, the current civil procedure law does not stipulate that during the defense stage, the defendant and the third party

The order of people’s speeches. In this regard, after discussing with Lawyer Dai, we asked the third person to express his opinions first during the defense stage, and then the first and second defendants made the defense.”

Judge Jiangtian nodded slightly in agreement and said, "Let the third party's attorney, Lawyer Dai, speak."

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

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

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

I'm afraid...the opponent won't be able to survive even one round.

In this lawsuit, I am 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 crushing force from this barrister.

Machiko stood up holding the document in her hand, and said, "Chief Judge. Now the third party in this case, the Aoba Terrace Apartment Owners Committee, will speak. The third party believes that according to the "Concerning Seizure and Detention in Civil Execution" issued by the Supreme Court,
Chapter completed!
