The company filed an appeal on the 16th in a trial in which a restaurant operating company that received an order to shorten business hours from the Tokyo metropolitan government sought compensation from the city for not responding to a request to shorten business hours during the declaration of an emergency of the new corona. The ruling was finalized, withdrawing the order and rejecting the claim for compensation while making the order of the capital illegal.

The restaurant management company "Global Dining" argued that it was unfair to receive an order from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to shorten business hours based on the Special Measures Law in March last year, when the state of emergency was declared. I demanded compensation from the city.



The Tokyo District Court in the first instance pointed out in May this year, ``There was no rational explanation from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government regarding the criteria for issuing the order, and it cannot be said that there was a particular need to issue the order, which is illegal.'' , determined that the capital was not at fault, and dismissed the lawsuit for compensation.



The company appealed to the Tokyo High Court, but it was withdrawn on the 16th, and the judgment of the first trial was finalized.



At the press conference, the company's lawyer said, "We thought that it would be a big disadvantage that it would take a long time for the judgment in the second trial to come out. Since the judgment in the first trial, there have been no requests or orders to shorten the working hours for restaurants. However, the ruling had sufficient social significance."
