Question from a reader:
Is Fuji TV planning to seek damages from Nakai-san? Or are they refraining from doing so because they themselves bear some responsibility? I think if Nakai-san hadn’t caused such issues, everything would have continued as if nothing had happened.
Regarding the Damage Compensation Issue between Fuji TV and Nakai-san
Recently, a very intriguing topic has emerged regarding
whether Fuji TV will seek damages from Nakai-san. As someone studying law, these issues provoke deep thought. First of all, it is clear that Nakai-san’s actions have resulted in damages to Fuji TV. In particular, the decrease in advertising revenue from sponsors has had a significant impact. If Nakai-san had not created any issues, Fuji TV’s situation might have been quite different. Considering this, one can’t help but ponder the extent of the impact of his actions.
From the Shareholders’ Perspective
From the shareholders’ standpoint, it is understandable that if Fuji TV does not seek damages from Nakai-san, there could be a possibility of a shareholder derivative lawsuit. Shareholders invest with the aim of pursuing the company’s profits, and it is a natural progression to seek accountability when losses occur. While studying law, I have come to appreciate how complex discussions about liability and damage compensation can be. For example, I have heard of cases where corporate executives, through their misconduct, caused harm to the company, and shareholders were able to claim damages against those executives. Nakai-san’s case might follow a similar pattern.
Fuji TV’s Response
Fuji TV cannot simply ignore the wishes of its shareholders. However, at the same time, considering their long relationship with Nakai-san and his influence, it may not be easy to proceed with a claim. There may also be emotional factors involved, and Fuji TV might recognize that there were issues with their own handling of the situation. Observing such circumstances makes me feel that the legal world is truly like a human drama. While studying law, I find joy in learning through these cases. It sometimes makes me want to revisit classic dramas.
