"Go To Travel" Suspended Provisional Disposition Request to Reject Tokyo District Court July 20, 21:21
The Tokyo District Court has decided to dismiss the petition for provisional disposition that residents in Tokyo and other countries do not carry out, as the country's "Go To Travel" project will spread the infection of the new coronavirus as scheduled to start on the 22nd ..
The three residents of Tokyo and Tochigi have filed a claim that if the government carries out the “Go To Travel” project as planned, the infection could spread further, harming the lives and health of citizens and violating their personal rights. We have filed a provisional disposition requesting that we ban acceptance and payment of travel subsidies.
The Tokyo District Court's presiding judge, Hideki Shinagawa, issued a decision on the 20th, saying, "It cannot be denied that the movement of people will become more active in the country due to the start of the business. However, the current situation of infection and the situation surrounding it. Considering the environment, it is believed that there are some people who refrain from traveling."
In addition, he said, "Travel-related businesses such as lodging facilities and restaurants are considered to be taking measures as much as possible, and when the start of a business creates a specific risk of immediate harm to life and health compared to the current situation. "I can't say," and rejected the allegation.
