Tokyo High Court Jan 23:14:45
In a trial in which a woman in her twenties sued the city for being bullied while she was attending an elementary school in Fuchu, Tokyo, the Tokyo High Court said, "The principal is the principal and sealed the bullying problem and buried in the dark." He ordered the city to pay about 7.5 million yen.
A woman in her 20s who graduated from elementary school in Fuchu City took necessary measures for her school, despite being assaulted by several classmates and being bullied by buckets of water since her fifth grade. We asked the city for compensation for PTSD = post-traumatic stress disorder.
The Tachikawa Branch of the Tokyo District Court in the first instance dismissed the complaint, and a woman was appealing.
Judge Hiroshi Noyama of the Tokyo Court of Justice in the second instance pointed out in a ruling on the 22nd that "the principal was the main player, and that the bullying problem was sealed and buried in the darkness" .
He then reversed the ruling of the court of first instance, stating that "if the principals were taking action, the women's symptoms would not have been prolonged so far" and ordered the city to pay approximately 7.5 million yen.
The Fuchu Board of Education commented, "We will scrutinize and respond to the judgment sentence in the future."
