The Osaka District Court has awarded compensation to a convenience store in Ibaraki City, Osaka Prefecture, which was seeking damages from a man who repeatedly parked there illegally between 2013 and 2015.
According to the store, the man lived nearby during the period in question and had left his two vehicles parked in front of the store for a total of over 11,000 hours. The store’s management gave numerous verbal and written warnings but all went ignored. As such they were seeking 9.9 million yen, the estimated value of parking there in addition to punitive damages from obstructing their ability to do business.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the defendant failed to mount any form of defense and submitted no statements of any kind to the court.
