Chapter 264 Dawn
In the court, Kitahara asked the university to disclose the minutes of three discussion meetings of the degree evaluation committee, which immediately caused many university executives in the auditorium to whisper to each other. The lawyer was so precise that he even reported the code of the meeting minutes. At first glance,
Upon hearing this, it gave people a very strong sense of convincing. The university senior officials were naturally worried. They had not yet read the three so-called meeting minutes in detail and did not know what content existed in these meeting minutes.
The unknown creates uneasiness.
And uneasiness brings fear.
Even if these meeting minutes are nothing, university senior officials are unwilling to make them public. No one will voluntarily expose the process of power operation to the public eye.
Several secretaries from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology who came to observe, saw the appearance of the senior officials of the Court University, and could not help but frown slightly, with a slight displeasure on their faces. It seemed as if they were scolding the senior university officials present for even this
Even basic document confidentiality cannot be maintained.
At the moment, Kitahara did raise an important question. In the internal voting of the expert group, 7 people believed that plagiarism was established, and 6 people determined that plagiarism was not established. Among them, 2 of the 7 people who voted that plagiarism was established believed that the behavior was not serious enough to cause serious consequences.
Her degree was revoked. Under this situation, why did the university’s degree evaluation committee still ignore the internal disagreements of the expert group and decide to strip Mikiko of her doctorate?
Zhuze looked at the scene in the court and found that the situation was already somewhat unfavorable to her. She could not believe the situation she was facing now. This kind of lawsuit seemed ridiculous, but when she was actually dealing with it, it turned out...
I actually feel it’s hard?!
After calming down, the experienced female administrative lawyer spoke again:
"Chief Judge. The authenticity of the minutes of the meetings presented by the plaintiff is unclear, and the university cannot confirm the authenticity of these documents. As for the minutes of the three internal meetings that the plaintiff just claimed to obtain, the plaintiff should prove that the university's degree evaluation committee has
Three meetings were held to discuss the revocation of Mikiko's degree. Instead of simply inferring that the Degree Evaluation Committee held three relevant meetings based on so-called rhetoric such as 'the plaintiff has heard' and 'it is the plaintiff's understanding'."
The strategy chosen by Takezawa was to firmly deny it.
The reason is very simple. The lawyer named Beihara currently has this information from nowhere.
This means that he said he has access to more information channels than even himself and Asakura Yan.
You must know that the group represented by Professor Ochi has been demanding that the university conduct a thorough re-investigation of the Mikiko incident. Maybe there are some important information points hidden in the entire incident that they do not have, and these important information points may be disclosed by the other party.
Lawyers control it.
If this is really the case, then it is best to infer the information he possesses based on his opponent's actions. If the Kitahara lawyer wants to tamper with the minutes and documents of these three meetings, he must be absolutely stopped.
Kitahara listened to Takezawa's rebuttal, still maintaining a faint smile on his face, "If the defendant's attorney refuses to submit these three meeting minutes to the court, then the plaintiff's attorney will represent my client, Mikiko Tamai, and argue that Kyoto University refuses
For the act of disclosing information, file an administrative lawsuit for information disclosure!"
【Information Disclosure Administrative Litigation】
[The so-called information disclosure administrative lawsuit refers to the administrative agency failing to disclose information to the administrative counterpart in accordance with the law, or the disclosure of information is illegal. In this case, the counterpart can sue the administrative agency to request correction of its relevant information disclosure.
Administrative action]
There is no wave yet.
One wave and then another.
Kitahara claimed that he would file another information disclosure lawsuit against Kyoto University.
This is tantamount to another heavy blow for Kyoto University, which is in urgent need of the endorsement of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and the Society for the Promotion of Academic Affairs. The Mikiko matter may be resolved in the short term. But now there is an information disclosure lawsuit.
That is, one lawsuit is piled on top of another, and it is not resolved so quickly.
Many university executives have gloomy faces. They can also see that this lawyer seems to be targeting Kyoto University. Every move he makes is trying to embarrass the university and make the university lose face. Now, there is another lawsuit.
, then it would take Mikiko alone to drag the university into an endless whirlpool.
What a troublesome person who only knows how to make trouble!
Tricky people!
Takezawa straightened his collar slightly and immediately retorted to Kitahara, "Chief referee. Let's ignore the issue of whether the so-called meeting minutes document exists. Regarding the plaintiff's attorney's suggestion that Mikiko should be substantively tried on whether Mikiko is suspected of plagiarism, the defendant's attorney
I think this is extremely ridiculous.”
"Judicial power should remain fully modest. The law only does what is within the scope of the law, and should not cross the line to make judgments for professional groups. In this case, it requires a professional academic group to determine whether the paper involved is suspected of plagiarism.
, in order to make judgments and screening issues. Whether the purpose of the paper is the same, whether the text is substantially repeated, whether there is no fundamental difference between the two views, etc. This is a field that requires a lot of professional knowledge to make judgments. Judicial
Institutions should not cross the line and treat themselves as professional academics to express their so-called opinions on whether plagiarism is established or not!"
"Chief referee!" Kitahara also took a step forward and said: "The defendant's attorney obviously distorted the facts again and again. Now, the materials presented by the plaintiff can clearly and undoubtedly show that the expert group is investigating Mikiko
There are major disagreements on whether the paper constitutes plagiarism. From this, it can be revealed that there is doubt whether the defendant had sufficient factual evidence when he made the decision to deprive Mikiko of her degree. This kind of trial is not for the court to judge whether plagiarism is established;
Let the court judge whether the plagiarism determination made by the university degree evaluation committee has sufficient factual reasons, and whether these reasons themselves are reasonable enough. Based on this, it is clear that this case should be held in court on whether Mikiko's paper is suspected of plagiarism!"
The two lawyers were at odds with each other in court.
At this moment, this issue is placed before Judge Kawada.
How will he decide?
All the eyes of the audience were immediately focused on the chief referee.
Judge Kawada gently pinched his eyebrows. From a judge's point of view, every referee is committed to making the case simpler rather than more complicated. At the moment, it is obvious that if Mikiko's paper itself is not suspected of plagiarism,
If the situation is reviewed, more additional complaints will inevitably arise in the future, which is really unnecessary.
Chapter completed!
