Case Overview
Our client's child was a victim of school violence, but the School Violence Countermeasures Deliberation Committee issued a "No Action" decision for the perpetrator due to an alleged lack of evidence. Emboldened by this, the perpetrator's side audaciously filed a counterclaim against our client, demanding damages for defamation and emotional distress, effectively threatening the victim's family.
Unique Aspects of the Case
This was a highly unfavorable and challenging case because we had to prove the perpetrator's actual acts of violence in a civil court while an official "No Action" decision from the committee already existed. Furthermore, we faced the dual burden of defending against the opposing side's counterclaim while striving for the victim's recovery.
Attorney Assistance
The legal team at Law Firm Theo completely reviewed all records and statements from the committee stage, identifying the logical loopholes in the "No Action" decision. Through meticulous evidence collection and legal structuring based on newly gathered objective circumstantial evidence and witness statements, we clearly proved the perpetrator's actual violent acts. Simultaneously, we strongly argued to the court that the opposing side's counterclaim was a malicious and baseless retaliatory lawsuit.
Result of Assistance
The court fully accepted Law Firm Theo's arguments, 100% dismissing (defending against) the perpetrator's audacious counterclaim, and ruled a complete victory ordering the payment of appropriate damages to our client.
