Section V
Report Submitted to the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare
On July 24, 2026, the Applicant submitted a formal report to the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare pursuant to Article 49-3 of the Worker Dispatching Act, concerning the facts described in this Request.
According to the delivery records of Japan Post, the report was scheduled to be delivered on July 27, 2026.
The Applicant submitted the report for the purpose of notifying the Minister of suspected violations of the Worker Dispatching Act and understands that the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare will conduct such investigation and administrative action as it considers appropriate.
This Request, however, does not ask the Representative Auditor to determine whether the Worker Dispatching Act has been violated.
Rather, the purpose of this Request is to seek an audit and administrative clarification regarding how Yokohama City has administratively determined, and upon what legal basis it has concluded, that the Worker Dispatch Contract has continued following the absorption merger and dissolution of Interac Kanto South Co., Ltd., the original contracting party.
Accordingly, the Applicant respectfully requests confirmation of the administrative decisions made by Yokohama City concerning the continued administration of the Worker Dispatch Contract, independently of any investigation or enforcement action that may be undertaken by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare under the Worker Dispatching Act.
The Applicant submits that these are separate matters falling within the jurisdiction of different administrative authorities:
- the report to the Minister concerns possible compliance with the Worker Dispatching Act; whereas
- this Request concerns the administrative management of a public contract by Yokohama City, including the legal basis upon which the City has continued to administer that contract following the dissolution of the corporate entity identified as the contracting party.
