Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 656: Attack from all directions
In the meeting room, Hamano stubbornly denied all accusations.

You don't need to admit you did something wrong.

Once you admit it, you have really done something wrong.

As long as you keep denying and the other party cannot provide any substantial evidence, then no matter how wrong something is, it will eventually become the right thing.

This is the cruelty of the legal game.

The original purpose of the judicial process was to provide victims with a way to seek justice, but in the end it became a capital for the perpetrators to become a hundred times more arrogant.

Miyakawa's eyebrows were trembling with anger. This gentle girl had never seen anyone dare to tell lies so confidently in public.

She immediately stood up again and launched a new attack, "In fact, my client has suffered a lot of unfair treatment in the High-tech Industrial Park. What I just said is just the tip of the iceberg."

"For example, in the bidding project of building waterproof coating in the High-tech Industrial Park, the bidding documents stated that 'the bid security deposit shall be paid in the form of transfer check, bank cashier's check, bank draft, etc. (cash is not accepted)'. In the end, our client chose to pay the bid security deposit through bank electronic transfer, but was later told that the bid security deposit payment was invalid because the payment method did not meet the bidding requirements?!"

"In the bidding documents, your Shinjuku City Hall clearly wrote "etc." in the payment method, but explicitly excluded cash payment. Just because I chose another payment method, I was explicitly rejected from participating in the bidding. May I ask if your bidding procedures and rules are really transparent?!"

"Miyagawa, lawyer!" Hamano immediately countered: "The word 'etc.' in the law must refer to things of the same nature. Our bidding documents clearly state that it is written as checks, promissory notes, and bills of exchange. Then your payment method should at least be equivalent to the payment method of bills, rather than using purely electronic methods to make payments!"

"If that's the case, why don't you write it clearly, but just write the word 'etc.'? Why don't you explicitly exclude the form of transfer as well. You only wrote that you refuse cash, so you should accept any payment method other than cash!" Miyakawa retorted.

"You are the ones who have the problem! Why don't you contact the tenderer to confirm it?!" Hamano still retorted firmly.

Miyakawa clenched the materials in his hand. The beautiful lawyer also understood that in this case, they mainly had circumstantial evidence, so they could not repeatedly entangle with the other party on a detail.

She immediately changed her attack point again, "Give me a few more examples. In another project in the High-Tech Park, your city hall stated in the bidding documents that the bidding materials must be 'signed and stamped page by page'. However, my client's bidding documents were declared invalid by you simply because the cover and inner cover pages were not signed and stamped. Does this make sense?!"

Miyakawa once again exposed a jaw-dropping case.

In order to submit a bid, companies painstakingly prepare bid documents that are at least hundreds of pages long.

It embodies the hard work of the staff who work day and night.

In the end, the bid was declared invalid simply because there was no signature or seal on the cover.

This is simply a disrespect for hard work.

Hamano glanced at the materials in his hand. His rich experience allowed him to fight back immediately: "Isn't it common sense to sign and stamp on the cover of the bidding? Since your company has participated in so many municipal bidding projects, you should also know the routine requirements. Can such a low-level mistake be blamed on the tenderer!!" Miyakawa quickly retorted: "The company can only prepare documents according to your bidding requirements. For every project, every project, there are strange requirements that suddenly pop up from your city hall. Your bidding rules for this project clearly state that the cover is only used to indicate the original and the copy. Why should we, the parties involved, bear the consequences of your own unclear rules!"

"Excuse me, Lawyer Miyakawa. If you keep this kind of student mentality, you will only encounter many setbacks in the future." Hamano laughed directly without any disguise.

The party demanding justice was ridiculed.

The party that violates the rules is safe and sound.

Although Miyakawa was indignant, he could only control his anger and jump to the next point. "In the bidding for the green plant maintenance project in the high-tech park, the evaluation experts did not follow the principle of independent evaluation. At the bidding site, after our client demonstrated the bidding plan on site, the seven evaluation experts negotiated on the spot and then gave the score."

"According to the bidding rules, these evaluation experts should give their opinions independently. How can they exchange views with each other? After doing so, can it still be considered an independent evaluation?!"

Hamano laughed again. "Miyagawa, your understanding of many concepts is really wrong. Independent evaluation only means that these experts are not subject to external interference or intervention when conducting the evaluation. How can independent evaluation prohibit communication and discussion among evaluation experts?!"

"It is perfectly normal for bid evaluation experts to communicate and exchange views on some key issues in the bidding proposal. This can ensure that the views of bid evaluation experts are objective and comprehensive."

"Lawyer Hamano, how can you say such nonsense!" Miyakawa said angrily, "The bidding rules of your city hall clearly prohibit the negotiation and scoring of subjective evaluation factors. Don't you dare to admit that you violated the rules you set?"

"The rules only prohibit negotiating scores, not exchanging opinions," Hamano replied.

Every attack launched by Miyakawa was taken over by the City Hall.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

This serious girl has tried her best.

The second trial today was particularly long, lasting from 9:6 in the morning until nearly : in the evening. Miyakawa and Kitahara listed many illegal acts in the bid opening and evaluation of the project. Hamano has always denied it and constantly accused these circumstantial evidence of being groundless and far-fetched.

This administrative ruling seems to have turned into a quagmire.

Kitahara and his group were in the middle of it, and every step forward they encountered great resistance.

The town hall opposite seems like an indestructible high wall.

No matter what angle you attack from, he can always defend.

What can I do?
What else can I do?
The afterglow of the setting sun shone in through the huge glass windows of the conference room. The shadows of the people present were stretched out. Mount Fuji stood majestically in the distance. I wonder how many despairing scenes this sacred mountain of the East has witnessed in the long river of history.
