The Tokyo District Court said, "It is necessary to hear the situation for each consumer" in a trial in which a nationally accredited consumer group asked the seller to return the price of the product on behalf of those who complained of consumer damage. There is, and it cannot be rescued uniformly. "
The group says, "This system will make relief impossible."
"Consumer Organization Japan", a nationally accredited consumer organization, is a product on behalf of those who complain to the Tokyo trader who sold DVDs with the content "Cryptographic assets are sure to make money". I appealed that the amount equivalent to the price of the DVD should be refunded.
In the ruling, Shigeru Ito, the judge of the Tokyo District Court, said, "Even if you are illegally solicited, you cannot definitely make a profit by investing. It is necessary to hear the situation on a case-by-case basis. "
After that, it was not a case that could be remedied uniformly, and it was judged that the action of the Organization did not meet the requirements of the trial and was dismissed.
Five years ago, a special law to relieve consumer damage was enforced, and a system was established in which a nationally accredited consumer organization could bring a case, but this is the first time that a complaint has been dismissed.
Kazuhiro Seto, director of the Consumer Organization Japan, said at a press conference, "If the circumstances are different for each consumer and they are not approved, relief under this system will be impossible. I would like to consider appealing."
