A pro se damages claim over a former employee's unlawful conduct, with several cases pursued in parallel.
* Party names, case numbers and similar identifying details are withheld (●) so as not to affect the ongoing litigation.
We strictly complied with the entertainment-business laws and built our store rules so that no employee would ever be put at a disadvantage. Despite that, a former employee's unlawful act drove the store to closure, and to this day there has been no apology and no contact whatsoever from that person.
At the time of the arrest, we ourselves gave the person advice and even handled communication with their family (their mother). Even so, we have heard nothing back.
The minor in question entered the store while filming a video, stayed about 30 minutes, paid 1,700 yen, and left. Our records also captured the minor and the former employee appearing friendly with each other in front of the elevator. We cannot rule out the possibility of a coordinated attempt with a competing store to shut us down, and we are currently pursuing the truth.
To establish responsibility for the unjust loss of a legitimate business, I am pursuing several cases as a pro se litigant.
