A Japanese train driver is suing his employer after he was docked 56 yen ($0.49; £0.36) in wages for causing a brief delay to the country's famously punctual rail system.
Train company JR West fined the man after a work mix-up in June 2020 caused a one-minute delay to operations.
It argued that no labour had been performed during the stoppage.
The employee is seeking 2.2 million yen ($19,407; £14,347) in damages for mental anguish caused by the ordeal.
