The hotel operating company JHAT has expressed its intention to contest the civil lawsuit filed by the magazine’s operating company, Traicy Japan, at the Tokyo District Court.
The lawsuit seeks damages under Articles 709 and 710 of the Civil Code, alleging that JHAT damaged the credibility of the magazine by presenting false facts to several client companies that publish the magazine’s articles and demanding them not to publish the article, citing “infringement of honor rights” regarding an article reporting JHAT’s fraudulent subsidy receipt incident. The lawsuit had been filed in October 2024. JHAT’s litigation attorney, Kenhaku Saito of the Ginza Saito Law Office, mentioned regarding the acceptance, “while we are currently preparing, we largely intend to deny or contest.”
Initially, the first trial date for this lawsuit was set for December 19, but it was postponed to January 28 at 2:30 PM after JHAT appointed a litigation attorney.
The litigation attorney for Traicy Japan is the legal advisor from Monolith Law Office. The case number is Reiwa 6 (Wa) No. 28899, and the section in charge is the Civil Division No. 16 of the Tokyo District Court.
