Following the decision of a class action lawsuit admitting the discrimination damage to the family of leprosy patients, the government decided to increase the amount of compensation over the new compensation system and increase the scope of coverage. However, it is not yet negotiated with the plaintiff, and the final compensation amount will be the focus.
In the case of a class action that recognized discrimination against the family of a leprosy patient, the amount of compensation per person differs depending on the relationship with the former patient, and ex-patients who are recognized to have been discriminated except for legal fees Parents and children and spouses are 1.3 million yen and siblings are 500,000 yen.
In response to this, the government decided on a new compensation system and decided to increase the amount of compensation beyond the decision based on the plaintiff's intentions and past cases. It was understood by the story of the person concerned that it was presenting.
In addition, the scope of compensation has been expanded beyond the judgment, and in addition to the condition that the ex-patient's grandmother, niece, and grandchild were living together, and after the judgment that ordered compensation for the original patient was finalized The policy is to include families who have suffered damage since 2002 and those who have suffered damage in Okinawa under US military occupation.
However, the plaintiff's side says that “the amount of compensation is insufficient”, and it has not been reconciled, and the final amount of compensation will be the focus.
On the 2nd, the government will set up a “consultation place” to eliminate discrimination against leprosy, and will begin full-scale discussions on specific measures for raising human rights and restoring honor.
