All eyes in the courtroom immediately focused on the defendant's lawyer who suddenly spoke.

In the auditorium, the legal team of Kawamoto Expressway was still immersed in the disappointment of Onoda's defense being denied by the court. Then when they saw lawyer Imanishi actually taking action in person, they couldn't help showing excited expressions, whispering to each other, and whispered:

"Director Imanishi, I have personally terminated the situation."

"It's probably just an accident that the opponent won just now."

"After all, it is a court trial, so there will always be some uncertainty."

"It should be safe now."

"It seems we can call it a day."

Niwa, who was in the corner of the auditorium, originally felt a little happy and excited when the court announced the decision. However, as Kawamoto Expressway's lawyer stepped forward again, the case instantly seemed to be back on the edge of the cliff, the teetering edge of danger. Niwa lightly

He bit his lower lip lightly, frowned slightly, and leaned forward slightly. His whole figure seemed to be immersed in the atmosphere of the trial.

Is this the level of legal teams for listed companies?

Just at the beginning of the case, it turned out to be so difficult, Niyu thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel even more worried for the two lawyers on the plaintiff's bench.

Miyagawa sat in his seat, and when he saw his father taking action and putting forward a new defense reason, he suddenly became nervous. He can't retreat, he must not retreat. Miyagawa encouraged himself in his heart.

I absolutely cannot remain silent like the last time I negotiated at the law firm.

We must share some of the pressure for Beiyuan around us.

Imanishi stood in the dock, with a calm demeanor and piercing eyes, showing off his demeanor as a senior lawyer. Imanishi opened his mouth, and heard his somewhat cold voice say: "Chief Judge, Kawamoto Expressway is not a qualified defendant in this case. I request the collegial panel."

Since this case does not meet the conditions for prosecution, this case will be dismissed immediately!"

[Defendant’s qualified defense]

[The so-called qualified defense of the defendant is to claim that the other party is suing the wrong person. For example, on a certain day, your friend 1 borrowed money from you through friend 2. You transferred the money to friend 1 through friend 2. Later, the friend

1 has not repaid the debt, so you go to court to sue. Legally speaking, you have the right to claim credit against your friend 1, and you should go to court to sue friend 1. But if you sue in court, you are not suing friend 1, but friend 1.

Friend 2 is an unqualified defendant at this time. Because the person who really owes money is friend 1, not friend 2. Friend 2 only plays a role of communication and introduction in this process. This example is an unqualified defendant]

Imanishi's voice was as cold as a knife being pulled out of its sheath. The moment he pulled it out, it was as if cold light shone across the entire courtroom, flashing with a frighteningly sharp knife light.

"I hope the chief referee will notice," Imanishi looked at the referee's seat and said with a somewhat relaxed expression, "the highway section in this case is extremely special. According to the Highway Law and the Regulations on the Administration of Highway Tolls, the G227 section of the highway in this case belongs to

A special 'loan repayment toll road', not a general operating road."

The corners of Imanishi's lips raised slightly, and he continued to explain, "The so-called 'loan toll road' means that the relevant local city hall borrows money from the expressway company to build the road. After it is completed, the city hall collects the fees and then repays the money to the expressway company."

The company's borrowing costs. That is, the real owner of the 'loan toll road' is the local council, not the highway company."

"Specific to this case. The G227 section of the expressway involved in the case spans Tokyo and Hachioji City. It was built by the Hachioji City City Hall after borrowing money from the Kawamoto Expressway. It is owned by the city hall. After it was completed, it was owned by the city hall.

A toll station is set up at the gate to collect fees, and employees are arranged by Kawamoto Expressway through labor dispatch. Although the gate employees belong to Kawamoto Expressway, they obey the command and management of the city hall."

"The fees obtained by the gate are used to repay the loan to Kawamoto Expressway. Therefore, in this case, there is no direct legal relationship between the plaintiff Terai and Kawamoto Expressway. On the contrary, the other party actually has a legal relationship with it.

It should be the Hachioji City Hall. Kawamoto Expressway only charges the city hall for road use. The so-called paid use contract should be established between the City Hall and Terai, not between Kawamoto Expressway and Terai."

"Therefore, the plaintiff Terai should sue the Hachioji City Hall instead of the Kawamoto Expressway. This case is a typical case of unqualified defendants. I request the chief referee to dismiss the other party's lawsuit in court!"

After the words fell, an almost impeccable legal argument appeared.

This is the scary thing about senior litigators.

Miyagawa's face has turned pale, and he has written down his father's speech densely on the paper on the table. The expressway is actually subdivided into "loan repayment toll road" and "commercial highway". This detailed division is

Miyagawa never thought. Miyagawa never thought that this kind of detailed division would lead to the ownership of the highway not being the Kawamoto Expressway, but the city hall.

If this is really the case... Miyagawa found that she could not help but agree with her father's point of view: the defendant was not qualified for this case.

The table in the plaintiff's seat is filled with various dossier materials, various brown file bags, transparent file bags, and stacks of A4 papers placed on top. Although it looks a bit messy, it is posted everywhere.

Carefully written notes in various colors so that users can turn to them at any time when needed.

Miyagawa looked anxious, and immediately flipped through various documents and materials on the desktop, pulled out the paper from the document bag, and suddenly there was the sound of many pages turning, looking for any materials that could be used to counterattack her father.

However, it is still too difficult to counterattack on the spot.

Toll roads are divided into loan repayment toll roads and general operating roads.

The former is owned by the city hall, while the latter is privately owned by the company.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This extremely detailed division of toll roads is difficult to notice if you are not a lawyer who is very familiar with the highway business. Imanishi has been the legal counsel of Kawamoto Expressway for many years

The consultant, and only this experience made him so familiar with the legal business of highways that he was able to raise this extremely unique defense.

Onoda was sitting in the dock, looking at Imanishi's figure, listening to Imanishi's argument, and hope was suddenly ignited in his heart. As expected of Director Imanishi, this argument hit the opponent's seven inches, directly hitting the vital point.

Although his attack failed, Onoda's strategy inspired Imanishi.

Onoda also had a share of the credit for Imanishi's defense.

Thinking of this achievement, Onoda couldn't help but smile again. His face, which was still a little pale just now, suddenly regained its vitality.

Kawamoto Expressway's legal team had a proud smile on their faces after listening to Imanishi's argument.

Although such a battle is still a bit cruel to the young lawyer on the opposite side.

But, there's no other way.

It is normal to be defeated in front of senior lawyers.

The case had just been filed and was dismissed in court. Although it was embarrassing, after all, the other party was also a listed company, so it could be considered a fight.

This battle is over.

It ended the moment Imanishi stood up in the dock.

Imanishi's voice seemed to be still faintly echoing throughout the courtroom.

The defense put forward by Imanishi just now seems to have become a declaration of victory for the Kawamoto Expressway.

The goal set by Imanishi's legal team is to reject the other party's lawsuit in court today.

Now, Imanishi is really going to do it.

Judge Kumagai in the trial seat nodded slightly at Imanishi, as if he recognized this superb legal argument, and then looked at the two young lawyers at the plaintiff's seat: "The plaintiff is very interested in the defendant.

What is the response to this defense?"

Following the judge's voice, all eyes in the court fell on the young lawyer named Beihara at the plaintiff's table.

It was like a spotlight was shining on the young male lawyer.

People couldn't help but focus on this male lawyer.
