		</div><p>A Japanese court has rejected a request by former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn to attend the car maker&#8217;s board meeting.</p>
<p>Nissan dismissed Ghosn as chairman after his November 19 arrest, but he remains on the board. The Tokyo District Court said it rejected Ghosn&#8217;s request today.</p>
<p>It had been unclear whether Ghosn, who was released on bail last week, could attend the board meeting. The court&#8217;s approval was needed based on restrictions imposed for his release on bail.</p>
<p>The restrictions say he cannot tamper with evidence, and attending the board meeting could be seen as putting pressure on Nissan employees.</p>
<p>Prosecutors had been expected to argue against his attendance.</p>
<p>Ghosn has been charged with falsifying financial reports in underreporting his compensation and breach of trust in making payments to a Saudi businessman and having Nissan shoulder investment losses.</p>
<p>He insists he is innocent, saying the compensation was never decided or paid, the payments were for legitimate services and Nissan never suffered the losses.</p>

<p>[/quote_box_right]</p>
<p>Since his release on March 6 from Tokyo Detention Centre on 1 billion yen (£7 million) bail, he has been spotted taking walks in Tokyo with his family, but he has not made any comments.</p>
<p>His attempt to exercise what his lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka, called his &#8220;duty&#8221; by attending the board meeting signals one way he may be fighting back.</p>
<p>Hironaka has said Ghosn will speak to reporters soon. A date for a news conference has not been announced.</p>
<p>Nissan said that Renault chairman Jean-Dominique Senard, Renault chief executive Thierry Bollore, Nissan Motor Co CEO Hiroto Saikawa, and Osamu Masuko, the chairman and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Corp, will hold a joint news conference on Tuesday after the board meeting.</p>
<p>Nissan appears determined to highlight new leadership without Ghosn. It is part of an alliance with Renault SA of France, and more recently with Japan&#8217;s Mitsubishi Motors, that was largely cobbled together by Ghosn, who led Nissan for two decades.</p>
<p>Nissan, which makes the March subcompact, Leaf electric car and Infiniti luxury models, has denounced Ghosn for alleged misconduct. A decision at a shareholders&#8217; meeting is needed to remove Ghosn from the board. A shareholders&#8217; meeting is scheduled for next month.</p>
