The Osaka High Court, the second trial, has responded to the government's response in a trial where the government did not disclose the sale price or the reason for the discount at the time of an information disclosure request over the sale of state-owned land to Moriyu Gakuen. Was all illegal and handed down a judgment ordering the country for compensation.
Osaka Toyonaka City's state-owned land was sold to Mori Tomo Gakuen after being discounted by over 800 million yen due to underground garbage. It was unreasonable not to disclose the reason for the discount, and the government was seeking compensation.
The Osaka District Court in the first trial made the undisclosed price illegal, but the reason for the discount was: “If the presence of underground trash becomes public, it will hurt parents and harm the school ’s interests. Allowed the actions of countries that did not disclose.
According to the ruling of the second trial on the 17th, Toshiaki Nakamoto, Osaka High Court said, “There is a high demand for not only the sale price of state-owned land but also the grounds for calculation. If it is much cheaper than that, there is a suspicion that it is an unjust transfer, so it should be published to ensure objectivity. "
On top of that, he said, “It would not be a reason not to disclose even if Moritomo Gakuen's interests would be harmed by making it public,” and judged that it was illegal not to disclose not only the price but also the reason for the discount. , Ordered compensation of 100,000 yen.
The plaintiff Maichi Kimura said, “I am satisfied with the judgment. No politician takes responsibility, and I want to continue to pursue the problem.”
