Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 617 Before the Storm

The current situation is very dangerous.

According to Hamaka's story, Kitahara himself will face an extremely strong network of interest exchange. It is conceivable that if he takes legal action against the high-tech park project on behalf of President Hamanaka, not only Eriko will launch a counterattack, but also the city hall and the local development committee Ishiwatari will launch a fierce counterattack.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Since Eriko is one of the financial resources of Shinjuku City Hall, the city hall must protect Eriko.

Kitahara sat on the office chair, turned to the other side, turned on the computer, moved the mouse, and searched for information on the Shinjuku District High-tech Park project.

Soon, relevant search results popped up on the web page.

Click on several news web pages one after another.

Regarding the high-tech park project, there are silhouettes and group photos of celebrities from all walks of life.

Many online magazines and newspapers regard this project as a key project for the further development of Shinjuku City.

There are even editorials advocating that if the industrial park can succeed, then Shinjuku's experience should be promoted nationwide to create a second engine for Japan's economic growth.

There is another page that you click on, which shows photos of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology and several members of Congress inspecting the industrial park.

Obviously, from all aspects, this industrial park project is now the face of Shinjuku City. The local city hall, or even some big shots at the top, will never allow this project to go wrong.

If the scandal of bidding issues in this project is exposed at this time, it will definitely be a big shock.

At that time, audit investigators from the Accounting Inspection Service will inevitably be stationed for auditing.

It is estimated that the Shinjuku District Prosecutor's Office will also start investigating whether there are crimes of bribery, bribery, and bid-rigging. In addition, next year is the re-election date for members of Congress. Added to the overt and covert struggles of various forces, this legal action will inevitably evolve into a political explosive keg, and no one knows where it will end up.

"Lawyer Kitahara, I want to know if we have to go to court to sue them." Hamaka asked. Although the president found Beitahara and hoped that they would take legal action. However, actually going to court would not be of much practical benefit. Even if the money is finally recovered successfully, the city hall has no idea that it will carry out various retaliatory actions, which will also make it difficult for the company to survive in the future.

Kitahara is also thinking.

To file a lawsuit directly would be to tip the table.

At that time, there will be no room for negotiation with the opponent.

On my side, I want to investigate clearly the matter of Eto cheating on Bu and Jiang Riko.

If the card table is overturned at the beginning, then you will not be able to play cards one by one.

Obviously, this is not a situation Beihara is happy to see.

If you file a lawsuit directly, the media will definitely ferment it.

By then, things will be beyond your control.

Originally, I just wanted to use Binzhong's case to further investigate Jiang Lizi.

If things develop out of control, you will become a borrowed knife for others to kill.

In the end how to do?

If we do not initiate judicial proceedings, how can we put enough pressure on local city halls?

While he was thinking hard, a word suddenly popped into Beiyuan's mind. 【Administrative Ruling】

[The so-called administrative adjudication means that certain matters closely related to the exercise of administrative management are not handled in court, but are first made internally by the administrative agency. This procedure is quasi-judicial. If one party is dissatisfied with the ruling of the administrative agency, unless the law expressly stipulates that the ruling is final, it can go to the court to request the cancellation of the administrative ruling]

"President Hamanaka, I think the current procedure of directly filing judicial lawsuits is not appropriate. Of course, direct lawsuits can put a lot of pressure on the city hall, including the impact of public opinion. However, once both parties enter a deadlock situation, the municipal government will There is still Jiang Lizi in the hall, so they will have nothing to worry about. At this time, we have lost our trump card. "

"So, I suggest that we can first apply for an administrative ruling on the illegality of bidding and request that suppliers who illegally win the bid be excluded." Kitahara said.

"Okay...administrative ruling..." Binaka was a little surprised when he heard this word. He did not expect that there would be other channels besides judicial litigation.

"So, Lawyer Kitahara, are we going to file this so-called administrative ruling with that agency?" Hamaka further asked.

"Tokyo Metropolitan Finance Department." Kitahara's voice sounded.

As soon as they heard that it was the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Department of Finance, the faces of the people in the office suddenly changed. In the country of Toyo, the main economic activity zone is Tokyo. The Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Department of Finance is in charge of not only the finances of a region, but also the lifeblood of the country's fiscal revenue.

One can imagine how many powerful people there will be in the Tokyo Finance Department.

"Then...that's the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's Finance Department. Will it really accept a case like ours?" Hamaka couldn't help but ask.

"According to the law, it must accept." Beihara replied calmly. "As long as the law stipulates that it has the authority to adjudicate procurement issues that arise in municipal areas, then it must accept our application."

"It is currently a better choice to submit an administrative ruling to the Tokyo Metropolitan Finance Office than to file a judicial lawsuit directly." Kitahara further added, "First, the administrative ruling process is highly confidential. Basically, the case will be handled by an outside party. This also means that we have not finally broken up with the city hall. Secondly, the confidentiality is high and the city hall is fully pressured. After all, the city hall of Shinjuku City is only an agency of Shinjuku City. It is not easy for the power and energy of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to influence the ruling of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government."

"If the final administrative ruling does not achieve our results, then we will choose to resort to judicial procedures. At that time, it will be a real life-and-death struggle."

Hamaka listened to the young male lawyer in front of him.

In the past, incidents of being bullied by city hall staff came to mind again.

The president looked back at his employees.

There was no way out for him.

If it retreats any further, the company will go bankrupt.

Dozens of families will lose their source of income.

I will feel sorry for the employees who have been working hard and giving.

"Lawyer Kitahara, please!" President Hamanaka said, "Please help us file an administrative ruling with the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Department of Finance regarding illegal bidding for the high-tech industrial park project. At the same time, suppliers in similar situations to us, There are five other companies. They are all facing similar situations to us. Lawyer Kitahara, I also ask you to represent other suppliers who are being squeezed out!”

Beihara nodded, "The more clubs involved, the more pressure it will put on them."

that's it--

In the morning, President Hamanaka and Kithara formally signed an agency contract.

Several suppliers who have been delayed by the city hall have finally decided to take legal action and are preparing to entrust lawyers to file administrative adjudication procedures with the Tokyo Metropolitan Finance Department. Shinjuku City's high-tech industrial park project is a hot and big project that will determine the future and promotion of a large number of politicians. At this time, other uninformed officials and people from all walks of life were immersed in the enjoyment of singing and dancing, completely unaware that a legal storm was about to hit...
