Hello to all lawyers around the world.
In March of this year, in Japan, a religious organization known as the Family Federation had its legal corporate status unjustly revoked by the court. An objection to that decision is currently under review by the Supreme Court. This religious organization has never committed any criminal offenses in the past. Its corporate status was revoked solely on the grounds of civil torts under the Civil Code. Moreover, those torts amount to nothing more than property-related wrongs.
Corporate legal personality is indispensable for any organization, and the Japanese Constitution guarantees the right of organizations—including religious groups—to acquire such status. That right is now in serious jeopardy.
As a constitutional scholar, I have written an opinion paper regarding this case, which appears below. Please read it and share it widely.
