Chapter 29 A knife hidden in a smile

Even the dignitaries at the city hall who were present did not expect that their own public lawyer Hamano could put forward such a rebuttal. It was simply amazing. He is worthy of being a barrister who has handled local tax unconstitutional review cases.

In a matter of seconds, the basis for the other party's claim was destroyed.

If these funds are self-owned funds and not fiscal funds, then all actions of the Shinjuku City Hall and its controlled municipal enterprises in the high-tech park project will be exempt from supervision and there will be no violation of the Municipal Procurement Supervision Act.

and other regulatory issues.

At this moment, the smile appeared on Hamano's face.

It perfectly explains what is hidden in a smile.

The to-the-point reply demonstrated the terrifying power of this public lawyer.

Miyagawa was stunned for a moment.

She did not expect that the opposing lawyer could launch a counterattack from this point.

But... but...

So what does this mean...

Miyagawa indeed found that he had been negligent.

However, what she couldn't accept was the logic of the other party's lawyer. If you follow this logic, it means that in the high-tech park project, it doesn't matter how the Shinjuku City Council holds the funds. Even if it is squandered, no one will

I can manage it. Even if I engage in nepotism, I can't be blamed.

How can such logic be established?

Isn’t this just aboveboard and shameless?!

Miyagawa wanted to speak, but found that he was stuck again. Indeed, the legal provisions clearly stated that financial funds were used. How to refute the other party?

The "Municipal Procurement Supervision Law" and other regulations have formulated strict regulations for the use of funds by municipal agencies. However, it was not until this moment that Miyagawa discovered that what seemed to be such a strict law was actually so unbearable in reality.

One blow, just a simple trick, can hide the enemy.

Beihara saw this scene of the other party's lawyer.

A number comes to mind.

Thirteen percent.

Thirteen percent is the winning rate of Toyo administrative litigation.

Originally, in Japan, which has imposed many restrictions on municipal agencies, it is difficult for even extremely cautious municipal agencies to be completely legal.

However, in reality, 13% is the winning rate of Japanese administrative litigation.

Even with a tight legal net, it is very difficult for citizens to win.

Because they are facing extremely experienced technocrats.

It is no exaggeration to say that their understanding of specific legal fields is even deeper than that of lawyers.

Hamano sat on his seat, admiring the embarrassment of the young lawyer opposite him.

He had already keenly noticed that the female lawyer opposite who was taking the lead was already panicking.

Panic means something will go wrong.

The accumulation of mistakes will eventually lead to failure.

Miyagawa's hand involuntarily grasped the pen tighter. She suddenly remembered the first court session on the Kawamoto Expressway. At that time, she was also at a loss. Everything seemed to be back to the beginning. After this period of time,

After a lot of training, I...I still haven't made any progress.

Still can't do anything.

Still, it's useless.

Still, there is no way to help others.

"Miyagawa, treat this as a losing case. Just say all the words and all the reasons you can think of." Kitahara's voice suddenly sounded.

It was like a shot of tranquilizer was suddenly injected into Miyagawa.

I don't know why, but the voice of the man next to her can always soothe the girl's inner lake.

It's like being in a stormy world.

There is always such a warm corner with lights on to protect yourself.

Miyagawa's panic gradually calmed down.

In fact, after experiencing many cases, Miyagawa has accumulated a certain degree of strength. All she lacks is more experience.

Kitahara looked at Hamano opposite. He was not in a hurry to take action at the moment.

Because he wanted to test it through Miyagawa.

Test the opponent's style.

As a public lawyer in a municipal agency, Hamano has long been associated with this group of upper-class Japanese elites. Hamano's methods and style, to a certain extent, can also reflect the methods and style of the upper class.

Therefore, Beitahara wanted to test it out.

Even though the monster is bloodthirsty, it will only launch a ferocious attack when it is sure of winning.

Miyagawa calmed down.

The female lawyer seemed to have some counterattack strategy in mind.

His expression, which was a little flustered just now, has now returned to confidence and calmness.

Miyagawa stood up and said: "Lawyer Hamano, I want to ask you a question."

"Oh——?" Hamano replied nonchalantly, "Of course we are willing to answer citizens' questions. But we hope that the other party's questions are related to the case."

"I would like to ask Lawyer Hamano. You just said that the funds spent on the High-tech Park project belong to the company's own funds, not fiscal funds. Then I would like to ask whether your so-called 'own funds' are included in the local funds of Shinjuku City.

The budget of the city hall is submitted to the district council as part of the budget.”

Without waiting for the other party to answer, Miyagawa immediately held a document in his hand and said: "The document I have in my hand is last year's budget of Shinjuku City. On page 231 of the budget, we can clearly see that the current law firm just now

The mentioned profit surplus of Shinjuku City Municipal Industries Co., Ltd. is prepared as the budget and balance sheet of Shinjuku City in accordance with the law."

"According to the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Municipal Procurement Supervision Law", all funds included in the budget are used as fiscal funds. What the other party just said is that the company's own funds are not subject to supervision, which is contrary to the law. The case involved

Since the funds are included in the budget, the Municipal Procurement Supervision Law and other regulations should be applied in accordance with the law!"

Miyagawa immediately launched a counterattack.

The nature of the funds is demonstrated not from the perspective of whether the funds are owned by the enterprise, but from the perspective of whether the funds are included in the budget.

Miyagawa found an excellent angle to launch a counterattack.

Suddenly, all eyes in the conference room were focused on Hamano. Judging from the female lawyer's counterattack, although the two lawyers opposite were young, they did not look like those low-level lawyers who bite at will.

However, the expression on Hamano's face remained unchanged.

Still a smile.

"Lawyer Miyagawa, I would like to remind you that the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Municipal Procurement Supervision Law" you cited were just passed half a year ago. However, the procurement and bidding activities of the High-tech Park in this case all occurred before the regulations were passed.

.According to the basic principle that laws are not retroactive, the definition of fiscal funds in this case cannot be applied to laws that were implemented after the procurement and bidding activities were completed."
