Tokyo Barrister: Start the law firm bankruptcy

Chapter 873 Are you crazy?

"You kid! Are you kidding me?!" Imanishi was extremely surprised to hear Kitahara's reply. How could the court make a decision in just two weeks for a bankruptcy case like that involving Nippon Steel? ! Not to mention Nippon Steel, even ordinary citizens would have a hard time filing a case and serving a civil complaint within two weeks.

According to Imanishi's experience, the court will certainly be extremely cautious in such cases.

It is considered fast if the bankruptcy decision can be issued within half a year.

More commonly, a decision is made after a year or two.

After all, the court does not want to cause trouble. The opening of the bankruptcy proceedings of Nippon Steel will involve many issues, and it will be difficult to proceed without the cooperation of the cabinet and various stakeholders.

However, when Kitahara heard Imanishi's words, he still had a relaxed expression on his face, as if he was sure of victory. Even the judge of the Tokyo High Court was his puppet.

Seeing Kitahara's expression, Imanishi was furious. "Boy! There is no point in doing this! Young people like you don't understand what Nippon Steel represents in the hearts of the Japanese people. The court will never agree to Nippon Steel's bankruptcy proceedings."

"From now on, Nippon Steel will seek mediation from many parties. The cabinet will certainly not sit idly by. After all, the date for the parliamentary election is coming in April next year. Under the influence of these forces, the probability that the court will agree to Nippon Steel's bankruptcy is very small. Boy! Sometimes, the law is not just the law, it is also many other things!"

Imanishi put on a face that looked like he was giving a lecture.

However, Kitahara remained unmoved.

"I told you, Attorney Imanishi," Kitahara said with a smile. "I will ask the Tokyo High Court to agree to the start of bankruptcy proceedings within two weeks."

Although Kitahara said this with a smile, his tone was serious.

The young man was not joking.

He really wants the Tokyo High Court to approve the bankruptcy application within two weeks.

Seeing Kitahara's serious tone, Imanishi couldn't help but say, "Boy! Are you crazy!!! Why should the judge of the Tokyo High Court make a decision within two weeks?! You just said at the hearing that you want to transfer the cash balance of all Nippon Steel's public accounts. How can these things be decided within two weeks?!"

"If the Tokyo High Court really makes a hasty decision to file for bankruptcy against Nippon Steel within two weeks, the judge will be cursed to death!!"

Imanishi didn't believe Kitahara's words at all.

No matter how much nonsense you talk, there should be a limit.

Niwa, who was standing next to him, also tended to agree with what the lawyer said. After all, Niwa had been involved in many financial news investigations, and she knew that there must be many forces at work behind an incident, and these complicated factional interests would often push things in an unpredictable direction.

The same is true for the Nippon Steel incident.

Therefore, what the lawyer Imanishi said is right.

But - Lawyer Kitahara - the variable lies in him.

After working with Kitahara, Niwa gradually realized that Kitahara had the ability to change the overall situation and create key accidents. From the earliest Kawamoto Expressway case to the series of cases at Kyoto University, Kitahara was always able to make unexpected moves in unexpected places.

Maybe what Kitahara said is true?

He really has a way to get the High Court to agree to start bankruptcy proceedings within two weeks.

Although this was an impossible thing no matter how he thought about it, for some reason, Niwa decided to believe Kitahara.

Yes, believe him. Miyakawa was also puzzled. She had worked with her father on many non-litigation matters, including bankruptcy matters. According to her experience, it was indeed impossible for the Tokyo High Court to decide this matter so quickly. How should Kitahara act?

Miyakawa did not ask Kitahara about his next plan.

But no matter what, she will stay by Kitahara's side and complete what needs to be done in this case.

"Hey! Saeko! You can't really believe what this kid said!" Imanishi noticed Miyagawa's expression, "You're crazy! You guys are crazy! You must be hearing the court's decision in your dreams!!"

Imanishi decided not to waste any more time with these young people.

Indeed, he admitted that Kitahara excelled in his research on legal technology.

But this kid doesn't understand how things work in this world.

Filing a bankruptcy petition is one thing.

It is another matter for the court to agree to the bankruptcy application.

The two are completely different.

Imanishi carried his briefcase and walked out of the courtroom without looking back.

After Imanishi left the courtroom, Kitahara said to Miyagawa and Niwa, "Next, we have to start preparing the materials."

"Prepare information? What information?" Miyakawa asked.

"Let the Tokyo High Court approve our bankruptcy application within two weeks." The smile on Kitahara's face became more mysterious.

Miyakawa did not question Kitahara any further.

When we get back to the law firm, we’ll know what Kitahara is up to.

Soon, Kitahara drove the two back to Eto Law Firm.

As soon as they opened the door of the law firm, Niwa and Miyakawa suddenly found that there were boxes of envelopes in the office hall. These envelopes were piled up like a mountain, swallowing up the office space. Picking up an envelope carefully, they saw English words printed on it, and a long address of an unknown place.

"What are these things?" Niwa couldn't help but ask.

Kitahara also picked up an envelope. "This is the weapon we use to get the Tokyo High Court to make a bankruptcy decision within two weeks. These are letters waiting to be mailed, with addresses and stamps already affixed. All we need to do is prepare the information, put it in these envelopes, and mail it overseas."

Hearing Kitahara say this, Miyagawa became even more confused for a moment, "Wait, Kitahara. These letters were sent overseas? Not to the Tokyo High Court? But why send them overseas? Isn't it the Tokyo High Court that decides whether to start bankruptcy proceedings?"

"Wait a moment and you'll know." Kitahara still smiled.

At this time, Miyakawa looked at these envelopes carefully and saw that the recipients of these envelopes seemed to be foreign law firms. In this case, what was Kitahara trying to do by sending information to foreign law firms?

What the young man was going to do became increasingly confusing.

Can he really push the Tokyo High Court to make a decision to accept the bankruptcy case within two weeks?
