Court dismisses Yamato Transport's complaint against Japan Post

Tokyo District Court on Thursday dismissed a complaint by Yamato Transport Co. aimed at blocking Japan Post’s convenience store-based parcel delivery service.
Yamato Transport claimed Japan Post was blocking fair competition in violation of the Antimonopoly Law by offering excessively cheap rates for its “Yu-Pack” parcel delivery service provided through Lawson Inc. convenience stores.
Presiding Judge Yosuke Ichimura rejected the claim, saying he could not detect any unfair practices as recognized under the law.
