On the 11th, the Supreme Court’s First Petty Bench (Judge Toru Sakai, presiding) overturned the Tokyo High Court’s ruling in favor of the sect in a lawsuit in which the family of a former member of the World Peace Unification Family Federation (formerly the Unification Church) sought approximately 65 million yen in damages from the sect, alleging that she had become a victim of illegal solicitation to make donations. The main issues at issue were the validity of a memorandum signed by the woman stating that she would not seek compensation from the sect, and the illegality of the solicitation of donations.

It is believed that there are many cases in which documents similar to the memorandum are submitted to the sect. A trial seeking an order to disband the sect is also underway at the Tokyo District Court.

According to the first and second instance rulings, the woman, who was invited to join the sect by her relatives, donated more than 100 million yen, including the assets of her bedridden husband, while she was living in Nagano Prefecture from 2005 to 2010. In November 2015, she signed and stamped a memorandum at a notary public’s office stating that the donations were of her own volition and that she would not make any requests for the money to be returned, and submitted it to the cult. About six months after writing the memorandum, the woman was diagnosed with dementia and passed away in 2021.

Where has religious freedom gone?
This is a classic witch hunt.

There’s no way a slave contract like this would work
But the Japanese legal system is also sloppy and doesn’t follow the reality

I think invalidating a notarized memorandum is going too far.

Just like with same-sex marriage and gender reassignment lawsuits, courts have recently been making far too many emotional decisions.

The Supreme Court is the best.

Yes, break them up.

The Supreme Court should rule that the law was illegal and accept the compensation claim. It’ll just take time for the high court to decide.

I haven’t fallen into the filthy pot yet, and the conscience of the three branches of government still remains.

As expected of the Supreme Court, it is still difficult for the High Court to make such a decision.

How crazy the high court judges were. Recently, there have been a lot of strange decisions being made in the legal system.

It’s been revealed that he was supporting Ishimaru, so he may expand his influence again. End it quickly. Be careful, there are hiding places too.

It’s amazing how much effort there is in case of trouble.

If they go that far, it’s a trap that’s hard to overturn at the high court level or below
I think it was a wise decision by the Supreme Court
0032Anonymous DonburakoJul. 11, 2024 (Thu) 15:31:00.86ID:nrMdf0df0(1/4)
I wondered why they had won the case for a while

I guess it was inevitable that they would win
In fact, the Supreme Court that overturned the case seems to be trying to let off some steam for the public.

I bet the Netuyo and Bijiuyo will go crazy again and start shouting “Stop the witch hunt on the Unification Church! Protect religious freedom!” lol

What is your definition of “uyo”?

Netouyo’s favorite magazines, Hanada and Will, are full of defense of the Unification Church
So it’s no wonder that netouyo = defense of the Unification Church

How could a donation be valid if they even used a notary public office like this?
With the recent Superiority Protection Act, hasn’t the Supreme Court recently been too biased towards making decisions based on sentiment?

Instead of making him donate all his assets to the extent that it would have been difficult to live with,
he should have accepted a reasonable amount.

I never thought he would work at the Supreme Court. I thought he would be considerate of the LDP, but he did it.

Rather, maybe they’re trying to let off some steam out of consideration for the Unification Church of the Liberal Democratic Party so as not to further lower its approval rating?

Can’t they seize Abe’s house?

I think one way to do it would be to pay compensation from the Abe family’s assets, Kishi.

Human trafficking disguised as religion, property theft, drug abuse, tax evasion and money laundering — they should be completely disbanded.

That’s why the criticism of Kishida is getting fiercer.

Why are women so easily drawn to new religions? Most religious troubles involve women.

There’s no doubt that unification is bullshit, but what about overturning a notarized document?
