Analyzing Judicial Recognition of Occupational Stress (4)

Abstract

This is the fourth in a series of symposium examining controversial occupational stress factors that courts have either recognized or rejected as excessive workload or illegal. Through multidisciplinary discussion, the symposium analyzed these factors and explored potential solutions. This session examined the Toyota Labor Standards Inspection Office Chief Case （Nagoya High Court decision, September 16, 2021, Nagoya District Court decision, July 29, 2020）, with presentations focusing on workers’ compensation, harassment, and intensive work patterns.
