Looks like they don't know the difference between stationery and stationarySo to finish off. First the letter I received from DFAT. At the end is their list of English speaking lawyers. I simply had the first on the Sapporo list.

sorry, I meant help with finding a professional translator, just like they are helping with finding a Anglophone lawyer.Maybe don't want to be responsible for translation errors?
Certainly a unique travel experience.
Behind a pay wall unfortunately.Interesting article of a court case about to commence in south Australia. With exactly the opposite charges. Same situation. Sadly a death of the young man who was in the same position as you . I guess drron you were 'lucky' it was 'only' a bike in your accident.
Opens for me.Behind a pay wall unfortunately.

I did read somewhere during that trial that he had dismissed several alerts. Gone are the days when people take responsibility.The recent Victorian case where a fellow was let go free after he killed 5 people in an mva because he was in a diabetic coma. Apparently the prosecution stuffed up the case.
Judge throws out ‘weak’ case against driver at centre of Daylesford pub crash that left five people dead
Court had heard William Swale had suffered a ‘severe hypoglycaemic attack’ before the November 2023 crashwww.theguardian.com
The prosecution failed to mention that the man had 9 low sugar alerts leading up to the accident. At the very least his licence to drive should be revoked. The details were made publicly about the alerts soon after the accident.

Yes it seems incomprehensible that he didn’t know he was having a medical issue and yet still acted irresponsibly by driving while impaired. I’m sure he’s feeling sorry but the deaths of 5 people due to his irresponsible behaviour seems to deserve a court finding of guilt.I did read somewhere during that trial that he had dismissed several alerts.

sadly it's all about the evidence and not the result.

Easy to draw comparisons with another recent case. I am not opening discussions about this other one and will leave it there.Yes it seems incomprehensible that he didn’t know he was having a medical issue and yet still acted irresponsibly by driving while impaired.

By the prosecution whose case was about the period of the accident and not the period prior to the accident when he got the alerts. Basically they said he knew he had low blood sugar when he rammed into the beer garden. But at the time he was obviously in a coma with a sugar level of 1.1 and so he could not have known that he was heading toward the pub. Of course does not excuse the fact that as a long term diabetic he should have known better and not driven. But the magistrate said the prosecutions case was not about thatSeems there was a monumental stuff up.
