The Tokyo District Court dismissed the shareholder's complaint in a trial in which shareholders demanded that they stop supporting the Tokai No. 2 nuclear power plant in Ibaraki prefecture, saying that TEPCO, which bears a great deal of liability for the nuclear accident, could not afford it. It was.
Two TEPCO shareholders are uncertain about whether TEPCO will support Japan Atomic Power Company to restart the Tokai Nuclear Power Plant in Tokai Village, Ibaraki Prefecture, and the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. He requested that he stop supporting other companies because he had a great deal of liability and decommissioning costs and could not afford to support other companies.
In October, TEPCO decided to provide support through a subsidiary, and in a trial, TEPCO insisted that "Japan Atomic Power's proposal is rational and there is no risk of damage to TEPCO."
In the ruling, Judge Takeshi Ehara of the Tokyo District Court dismissed the complaint, saying, "TEPCO has stated that it has no plans to support other than the amount already decided. It is not necessary to judge whether it may cause damage." I did.
Regarding the judgment, Yuichi Kaido, a lawyer on the shareholder side, criticized that "a company that has been injected with a large amount of public funds is socially unacceptable to spend waste money. The judgment deviates from the sense of citizenship."
On the other hand, TEPCO commented, "We believe that our allegations have been accepted."
