Miyagawa quickly flipped through the materials on his seat. Indeed, as the other party's lawyer said, the "Regulations on the Implementation of the Municipal Procurement Supervision Law" was just passed half a year ago. This means that the definitions of own funds and financial funds cannot be applied.

The latest regulations.

However, doesn’t this mean that the city hall can use these public funds lawlessly?

Miyagawa couldn't believe it would be such a result.

How is it possible to do bad things without any restrictions.

How can you do bad things and not be punished?

However, the legal terms on paper told the female lawyer coldly.

Indeed.

This is a world where bad people get away with it.

But good people are hampered everywhere.

"That's not the case." Miyagawa couldn't help but retorted, "According to what the other party's lawyer said, isn't this ridiculous? This fund for municipal enterprises has been included in the budget. And the budget should be supervised by all citizens.

"How can a single part of the budget be exempted from legal supervision? Isn't this ridiculous!"

Listening to the female lawyer's rebuttal, Hamano let out a slight "tsk".

Although there is still a polite fake smile on his face.

However, his expression seemed as if he had heard something ridiculous.

For public officials.

They listen to citizens' demands for justice every day, every hour.

A citizen there is asking for justice, and a citizen here is asking for justice.

Obviously, the lawyer Miyagawa in front of him is just like a citizen seeking justice.

However, what people like Hamano care about is not justice.

Their first concern is that municipal agencies run smoothly.

If the savior cannot even save himself, how can he save the citizens from the fire and water?

"Lawyer Miyagawa, I want to remind you," Hamano said, "Shinjuku City Local City Hall has always been willing to accept public supervision. In the budget, we proactively disclosed a large amount of data and information that are not required to be disclosed by law. We are

We are at the forefront of the country in terms of openness and transparency.”

"For example, the surplus of municipal enterprises before they were made public was owned by their own funds. Legally, we have no obligation to disclose these funds."

"Now, our city hall has taken the initiative to disclose these data, but it has been harshly criticized by you. Do you know what consequences this will have?" Hamano suddenly raised his voice and asked.

Miyagawa was stunned for a moment under this question.

She didn't know what to say.

The reason why he didn't know how to respond was because Miyagawa had never imagined that a person who had done something wrong could still ask questions so confidently.

Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Hamano raised his voice again:

"The consequence of this is that the local city hall will no longer take the initiative to disclose data that is not required to be disclosed by law. Lawyer Miyagawa, you certainly have good intentions. But if you hold on to these, what will be the consequences?

?The result is that the city halls in other places got into trouble when they saw that the Shinjuku City Hall took the initiative to disclose these data. Then the city halls in other places must follow suit and only disclose what the law requires them to disclose. As for the law

If they are not required to do so, they will never do so."

"I understand that you have good intentions. Lawyer Miyagawa. It is always a good thing for young people to have such a sense of justice. However, the world is very complicated. You should consider whether your rash actions will cause more bad consequences.

as a result of!"

Hamano's words exceeded Miyagawa's imagination.

Under these persuasive words and questioning, what Miyagawa felt was the word shameless.

If they continue to hold on, they will not disclose data that is not required by law.

This is a threat.

This is a naked threat.

People who have clearly done something wrong can in turn threaten those who point out what they have done wrong.

What's the point?

What kind of fallacy is this?!

Miyagawa wanted to refute, but found that he could not refute the other party's logic.

Yes, it is obviously extremely shameless logic, but it cannot be refuted.

This is what makes Miyagawa feel terrible inside.

It seems that the world can only function normally if it follows the logic of these shameless people.

Many city hall officials at the back of the conference room saw that the other party's lawyer was unable to refute. They couldn't help but sigh in their hearts at the power of Hamano, a public barrister. He actually used a method that was close to a thousand pounds in just a few seconds.

He dismembered the other party's accusations full of moral justice and left nothing behind.

Sure enough, the young lawyer opposite could not be Hamano's opponent.

Or put another way.

The common people cannot be the opponents of those in power.

Because the former’s thinking, realm, and knowledge can never reach the level of the latter.

This is the naked reality.

"I would like to trouble the trial officer and ask the other party's lawyer if he wants to continue to express his opinion." Hamano said with a smile. Then he sat back on his seat.

Today, the same will be won very easily.

He has appeared before the Supreme Court before, but his scene today is insignificant.

Is it about to end? Many important officials in the city hall thought so in their hearts. In this troubled year, such a sudden administrative ruling has made many people in the city fearful. Before, they had thought about whether the other party might have

He was prepared to cause a big disturbance. But judging from the proceedings at the scene today, it seems that he is really a young man who was impulsive. If this is really the case, that would be great. Let's end it quickly.

At this time, no one in the venue noticed.

The male lawyer opposite has been silent.

During the confrontation between the female lawyer and Hamano.

He has been observing silently.

Observe your opponent's style.

Observe your opponent's moves.

Observe your opponent's habits.

He has a strong learning ability and the ability to draw inferences from one example.

Even though it's just a round trip.

But enough information has been provided.

Suddenly, the male lawyer in the opposite seat stood up. Many people present did not even notice that he stood up. Even Hamano just lowered his head and looked at his own information, not paying any attention to the actions of the lawyer opposite. Because

They are no longer a threat.

Just then - the young male lawyer spoke:

"The law is not retroactive. This is a legal principle. That is, laws promulgated now cannot be traced to past actions. We cannot ask people in the past to abide by future laws that they do not know. Therefore, the law is not retroactive.

It has always been a basic principle of the law, as it has always been."

"However - the fact that the law does not apply retroactively does not mean that the interpretation of the law cannot be retroactive."
Chapter completed!
