The corresponding organizations with responsibilities should abide by the principle of due process when making administrative actions, and should ensure the counterparty's right to know, right to plea and right to relief."

"Third, whether Kyoto University violated the principle of due process. According to the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Law, agencies and organizations that exercise administrative functions bear the burden of proof to prove the legality of administrative actions. In this case, the decision to revoke the doctorate made by Kyoto University did not specifically include

The applicable legal basis was clearly stated, and there were procedural flaws. When Kyoto University investigated the plaintiff, whether it truthfully informed the plaintiff that the investigation would lead to the revocation of his doctorate degree, both parties submitted corresponding evidence materials to prove it. This court believes that,

Based on the existing evidence and materials, it is impossible to determine whether Kyoto University did inform the plaintiff that the corresponding degree would be revoked during the investigation. Therefore, according to the principle of allocating the burden of proof, Kyoto University should be deemed to have failed to provide evidence and should bear the adverse consequences of being unable to provide evidence.

Without informing the plaintiff of the consequences, Kyoto University failed to protect the plaintiff’s right to know and to defend itself, which is a procedural violation.”

"This court now pronounces the verdict as follows."

"1. Revoke the decision of the defendant Kyoto University to deprive the plaintiff of his doctorate degree, and make corresponding administrative actions again within sixty days."

"Second, reject the plaintiff's other claims."

"If you are not satisfied with this judgment, you can submit an appeal to this court within 15 days from the date of delivery of this judgment, and provide copies according to the number of parties involved, and appeal to the Kyoto High Court."

"Judges: Toshiya Kawada, Umezono Matsuki, Yoshio Kuno, Akino Nakamori, Masato Ashida, and Yae Nishiguchi."

"Click!"

The sound of the gavel.

The verdict is over.

The entire court fell into an unprecedented silence.

No one seemed to realize what the judge said.

One second.

Two seconds.

Three seconds.

Until someone reacted and said softly: "Just now... did the judge just say that he revoked Kyoto University's decision to revoke the degree?"

When the impossible actually happens, there is only unspeakable shock.

This judgment of the Sakyo District District Court is so bold. Not only does it believe that awarding degrees is an administrative act, but the university's actions from now on may also be subject to judicial review by the court, it actually believes that Kyoto University is fulfilling its responsibilities.

In the process, it constituted a procedural violation, and the decision made by this top university was directly revoked! Really, really, it was revoked!!

"Huh?" Mikiko slowly raised her head. The judge in the courtroom had already retired, but the back of the judge's chair was hanging high. When she turned her head to look at the auditorium, she saw the university's high-ranking judges.

The faces of the powerful people turned pale one after another. Did they win? Did the judge just say that they won? Did the judge just say that the decision to deprive Kyoto University made needs to be revoked?

The scene that Mikiko never dared to imagine in her dreams really happened in front of her eyes at this moment. She won, really won! What the Kitahara lawyer said to herself really came true! At this moment, Mikiko's

His body started to tremble uncontrollably, and his nose suddenly became sore.

In an instant, it was like all the blood in her body rushed to her head.

She wanted to hold back.

However, he couldn't help it no matter what.

Strong electrical signals emitted from the biological spine and cerebral cortex.

How could I hold back!

Revoking the university's decision proves that your degree is still there.

I still have my degree!

Mikiko sobbed violently, but at this moment, tears immediately flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably. She walked step by step from a village girl to the present. She was once the best among students, but...

Finally, she embarked on the road of selling her body. It was not until the complete breakup in the past two weeks that her ridiculous relationship with the high-ranking person was made public. As a woman, she had lost everything. However, the victory of the current lawsuit at least told her that

She also has a doctorate degree. Yes, this doctorate degree was earned bit by bit with her own sweat without relying on anyone. It was obtained through countless nights spent in the laboratory, and she earned it in more than ten years of hard work.

It arrived. Today, I finally gave it back to myself.

Just like the girl selling matches hiding in the corner on a snowy night, she finally had a hint of warmth of her own.

You haven't lost everything.

Mikiko's face with tears streaming down her face suddenly smiled.

Smiling so innocently.

Smiling so youthfully.

Smile so beautifully.

Like a girl who first steps into campus.

Her voice sounded -

"Lawyer Kitahara."

"Thank you."
