Tokyo court rejects suit over Olympic village's delayed condo use

The Tokyo District Court ruled that the 28 plaintiffs do not yet have a firm basis for deciding the amount of compensation they should seek or a legal standing to demand compensation because the originally planned March 2023 deadline for developers to hand over the properties has not yet passed.

The prospective residents were told their properties would be handed over between January and March of 2024.

Now it's December 2022, so nothing has passed yet however now developer really need to handover by next March since those plaintiffs are really serious about their property.

Should be mentioned that Mitsui Fudosan received billions from the Tokyo LOC to use the facilities a year later with the reason that they would have to delay the handover to the new owners.

forgot ?

The Tokyo court rejected a lawsuit filed by little people against big business interests? Well, I'm absolutely astounded - you could knock me down with a feather! I bet nobody could have predicted such an outcome!

Of course these people should be compensated - every single yen of extra rent money they have to pay, any other fees they've incurred plus compensation for the fact that they will be losing out on one year of living in a nice new place that they've paid for - all of it should be paid in full to those people. I would also suggest additional compensation should be paid because of the fact that they've made them take them to court about it, rather than just come up with an amicable settlement.
