(3)The Tokyo District Court ruled on Thursday that a man who worked at Mizuho Bank was unfairly dismissed from his job after being ordered to stay at home for more than four years, and asked the bank to confirm the invalidity of his dismissal and compensate him for damages.

(6)Judge Yasutaro Kusuga ordered the payment of 3.3 million yen for the prolonged stay-at-home order, saying it was “an illegal retirement recommendation that exceeded the limits permitted by social norms.” The dismissal itself was valid. According to the ruling, the man was transferred to a companion position in October 2007, but was recommended for retirement in April 2016 and ordered to stay at home. He was ordered to leave in October 20, but was dismissed in May 21. Judge Suga noted that the man was placed on standby for a long period of time after receiving the retirement recommendation, so that the retirement recommendation “continued in effect.” He found that the man should have been given a specific place of return in October 2016 at his request, and recognized the waiting order after that month as unlawful. The dismissal was valid, as the man’s failure to respond to a request for confirmation from his companion regarding his continued employment constituted a violation of the work order. The man at the press conference said, “It was good to have a trial because the court ruled that the strange waiting at home was an illegal act,” and indicated that he would appeal the validity of the dismissal.
