깜빡이 안 켠 앞차 피하려다 '쾅'…法 "불가피한 선택" 무죄
'Bang' while trying to avoid a car in front that didn't have its blinker on... Law "inevitable choice" not guilty
Collided while trying to avoid a vehicle that cut in without turning on the turn signal... 'Violation of safe driving duty' prosecution court said, "An inevitable choice to avoid an accident... Another accident would have occurred if a sudden stop occurred." The driver who caused an accident while trying to avoid a vehicle that cut in without turning on the turn signal in the next lane was found not guilty. On the 22nd of last month, the Seoul Central District Court found Mr. A, a man in his 40s, not guilty on charges of violating the Road Traffic Act. Mr. A was driving on a five-lane road in Seoul in 2024. He was accused of causing an accident while returning after turning the steering wheel to change lanes to avoid a vehicle that cut in without warning from the right. The police judged that Mr. A had violated his duty to drive safely under the Road Traffic Act and sent the case to the prosecution. The prosecution found Mr. A guilty and requested a summary order of a fine of 200,000 won, which the court also accepted. However, Mr. A objected and requested a formal trial. During the trial, Mr. A claimed that the victim's vehicle did not turn on its turn signal. He claimed that he had to cut in and hurriedly avoid the car without stopping. He also emphasized that since the lane he had to avoid was a left-turn lane, he had no choice but to return to the original lane. The court found Mr. A not guilty. The court ruled, "This accident was caused by the victim's sudden lane change," and "The defendant's speeding up to pass in order to go straight was an unavoidable driving act under the circumstances at the time." He continued, "It is difficult to believe that the defendant should have made a sudden stop or made an unmandated left turn to avoid an accident in anticipation of the victim's vehicle illegally crossing the lane. Rather, considering the traffic situation at the time, there is a high possibility that a secondary accident will occur in the event of a sudden stop." He added. Attorney Kim Yun-joong of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, explained, "Violation of safe driving obligations cannot be assumed solely as a result of an accident, and the objective risk must be strictly proven. We were able to obtain an acquittal by actively demonstrating that changing lanes at the time was an inevitable choice to avoid an accident."[View full article] 'Bang' while trying to avoid a car in front that didn't have its blinker on...

Victims of Coupang information leak file class action lawsuit in U.S.… Claim for punitive damages
Plaintiff says, "The essence of the Coupang incident was the leak of information of over 33 million members." Consumers affected by Coupang, where a large-scale personal information leak occurred, filed a class action lawsuit against Coupang's U.S. parent company on the 6th (local time) seeking punitive damages in a U.S. court. According to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York, the Coupang information leak victims, with U.S. citizens Mr. Lee and Mr. Park as representative plaintiffs, filed a lawsuit against Coupang Inc., Coupang's parent company, and Beom-seok Kim on the same day. A lawsuit was filed seeking damages against the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Coupang Inc is the parent company that holds a 100% stake in Coupang's Korean corporation. In the complaint submitted to the court on this day, Mr. Lee and others claimed that Coupang Inc was negligent in violating its obligation to protect personal information, which constituted a violation of the implied contract. They also claimed that they made unfair profits by failing to take appropriate security measures and violated New York State law prohibiting deceptive business practices. The law firm that represented the lawsuit SJKP's attorney Tal Hirshberg said at a press conference after submitting the complaint that day, "Coupang Inc was established under U.S. commercial law and owes obligations to all who use Coupang, including U.S. citizens as well as Koreans," and explained, "I think using the U.S. court will help us obtain better information about what mistakes were made (on Coupang's side)." The law firm, a Korean partner of SJKP, said Daeryun's CEO Kim Kook-il said at a press conference that day, "The essence of the Coupang incident is that the information of more than 33 million members was leaked, and responding to this problem must be a priority," and added, "I am confident that the class action lawsuit filed today is the most wanted and essential lawsuit by the affected members." The complaint did not specify the specific number of participants in the lawsuit. Attorney Hershberg explained that more than 7,000 information leak victims have contacted us about participating in the class action lawsuit to date. The Coupang lawsuit in the U.S. will be conducted separately from the lawsuit filed in the Korean court. It is also expected to be conducted separately from the shareholder class action lawsuit previously filed in the U.S. Federal Court for the Northern District of California. The United States has a punitive damages system, so large amounts of compensation are often set for companies with gross negligence. In fact, T-Mobile, one of the three major U.S. mobile carriers, In 2021, the personal information of more than 76.6 million current and potential customers was leaked, causing a stir. Consumers filed a lawsuit in court, and T-Mobile spent $350 million (about 510 billion won) in settlement. Separately, he promised the court that he would invest at least $150 million in strengthening the company's security system. pan@yna.co.kr Lee Ji-heon (pan@yna.co.kr)[View full article] Yonhap News - Victims of Coupang information leak file class action lawsuit in U.S.… Claim for punitive damages (link) Edaily - Coupang and Chairman Kim Beom-seok are sued in the U.S., personal information leakage class action lawsuit in full swing (Go here) KBS - Victims of Coupang information leak file class action lawsuit in the US...

이태승 대륜 형사그룹 1부장 "디지털 증거가 유·무죄 갈라"
Lee Tae-seung, Chief of the Daeryun Detective Group's 1st Department, "Digital evidence separates guilt and innocence."
Recently, the method of evidence collection by police and other investigative agencies has been rapidly changing. This is because objective evidence such as communication records and CCTV, rather than ‘who says what,’ now determines the outcome of a trial. In a criminal justice system with such a strengthened evidence-based approach, we met with attorney Tae-seung Lee, head of the first department of the Daeryun Criminal Group at Law Firm, on the 4th to learn about the defense strategy that a suspect must have and the role of a law firm. - It is said that material evidence determines the outcome of a trial, but how is this changing in detail in the field?” Now, statements are just a starting point. We live in an era where objective data such as forensics, communication records, and CCTV have become more persuasive than dozens of reports. Therefore, it is very important for defense lawyers to plan how to secure and analyze what material data will be obtained from the beginning of the case, rather than relying only on reversing statements or alibis. - Why is the importance of evidence especially emphasized in sex crime cases? "This is because the statements of the parties are often conflicting. What fills that gap is digital evidence. For example, in a case of forced molestation, there was a case in which an acquittal was obtained by proving the intimacy and natural relationship between the two people through comprehensive analysis of messenger conversations, movement routes, CCTV, etc. before and after the incident. In addition, in a case suspected of 'possession of sexual exploitation material', the charges were cleared by technically proving through forensic analysis that the file was created automatically and there was no trace of actual viewing or saving. - What about other fields such as economic crime or organized crime? "In fraud and embezzlement cases, if you closely analyze account details, messenger records, etc., you can find clues to prove the legitimacy of fund flow or transparency of decision-making. For organized crimes such as voice phishing, the key is to analyze server logs or communication patterns. Through this, simple This means that the outcome can be completely different depending on how far one reads even the same record. "Because CCTV or log records are usually deleted in 1-2 weeks, it is very important to secure the original video through the court before the start of the investigation for the right to defense. However, there are high practical barriers to proceeding with the process, such as identifying the subject of application, constructing persuasive logic for the court, and cooperating with related agencies. Therefore, there is a high risk that evidence will be deleted if time is delayed, so it is necessary to consult with experts from the beginning of the case and approach it strategically. “The forensic center is located within the law firm, but the law firm center has the advantage of data recovery technology. A law firm's strength is its ability to reconstruct the data into legal language, whether there is evidence, whether there are any controversies over illegal collection, and whether indiscriminate data restoration can be detrimental to the client, so legal judgment is especially essential in this process so that lawyers, forensic experts, and former police officers can collaborate to get as close to the truth as possible. What is it?" People in criminal proceedings are going through the darkest tunnel of their lives. The best defense is not just a fight over the law, but helping the client return to his or her daily life. We are not a passive defense that just waits for the investigative agency's action, but we proactively seek out evidence and try to lead the process from the beginning of the case. Our goal is to be a reliable partner who gives you the belief that 'I did everything I could with this team.'"

[기고] 쿠팡 사태가 던진 경고장…기업이 '디지털 고의'를 알아차리는 법
[Contribution] A warning issued by the Coupang incident... How companies can recognize ‘digital intent’
Recently, there has been a series of personal information leaks from large platform companies. However, the essence of this incident is not a simple matter of external intrusion, but that 'information managed internally was leaked.' This point suggests the importance of an internal control system for overall corporate information. In the case of corporate officials, this incident should serve as an opportunity to have the same level of alertness not only to personal information but also to 'technology and trade secret leaks', which are core assets. This is because, just as personal information leaks destroy trust, technology leaks that occur silently also pose a risk that threatens the existence of companies. In fact, according to data from the National Police Agency, technology leaks are so frequent that 668 cases of violation of the Industrial Technology Protection Act have been detected over the past five years, deepening management's concerns. The strongest legal basis for sanctioning such leaks is Article 18 of the Unfair Competition Prevention and Trade Secret Protection Act. According to this provision, a person who uses trade secrets in a foreign country or knowingly leaks trade secrets for the purpose of obtaining illegal profits or causing damage to a company may be subject to imprisonment for up to 15 years or a fine of up to 1.5 billion won. However, the biggest difficulty in practice is proving the 'intention of leakage', which is a crime requirement. This is because most suspects deny intentionality by protesting that “I only backed it up because I needed it for work” or “I could not delete it by mistake.” At this time, digital forensics goes beyond simple data restoration and becomes the key to completely reconstructing the ‘digital behavior pattern’ of the former employee. Although users may be able to delete visible files, it is virtually impossible to manipulate the 'metadata' and 'system artifacts' recorded by the operating system. Forensic experts organically link the logs of when files were deleted and when large amounts of data were moved to a personal cloud or USB, and scientifically prove that the 'accidental mistake' claimed by the suspect was in fact a 'carefully planned export'. However, securing procedural legitimacy is what must precede a technical approach. If you are in a hurry to deal with a leak and arbitrarily recover data or search an employee's personal device without legal review, you may run the risk of being counter-sued for violating the Personal Information Protection Act or detecting electronic records, etc. Moreover, we must be aware that data obtained without going through legal procedures may be denied evidence during the investigation and trial process according to the 'rule of exclusion of illegally collected evidence'. Therefore, the essence of responding to technology leaks is not simply restoring data, but securing evidence that can be used in court. The integrity of the recovered data must be maintained to prove that it is the same as the original, and the 'chain of custody' from collection to analysis and submission must be fully explained. Furthermore, it is essential to legally reinterpret the fragmented digital traces and complete a logical link that proves the intentionality of the leak. Ultimately, a successful technology leak response must be an integrated response system that combines technical analysis and legal crisis management. Due process must be followed under the legal advice of a lawyer from the initial stage of evidence collection, and an organic system must be in place that can directly lead to effective legal action, such as applying for a temporary injunction or filing a criminal complaint, as soon as the analysis results are derived. Only when the law refines the traces discovered by technology into a powerful weapon can it fully protect its precious intellectual property from technology leakage crimes that threaten the existence of companies.

"공항 근처 개발 될거야"…5억 대출 사기 혐의 70대 '불기소'
“It will be developed near the airport”… Man in his 70s on charges of 500 million won loan fraud not indicted
Plaintiff: “I borrowed 520 million won in my name, but I don’t know what kind of land I bought.” “The suspect actually used the loan to purchase land… there was no intention to deceive.” A man in his 70s who was sent on charges of getting a loan of 500 million won in the name of an acquaintance by deceiving him into believing that he could make a lot of money by investing in a development site near the airport was acquitted by the prosecution. The Western Branch of the Busan District Prosecutors’ Office was cleared of charges on the 20th of last month. A decision was made not to indict Mr. A, a man in his 70s, who is suspected of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes (fraud). In July 2016, Mr. A was accused of personally misappropriating the loan after deceiving his acquaintance B by telling him, ‘Buy land near the airport because it will be developed,’ and obtained a loan of 520 million won in B’s name. Mr. B filed a complaint to the police when Mr. A did not provide information about the land he wanted to purchase and did not even pay the loan interest. Mr. A completely denied the charges. It is true that he proposed to purchase the land, but he claimed that there was a mutual agreement to take out a loan in the name of the complainant and that the loan was made with the consent of the complainant. Mr. A emphasized, “I actually purchased the land, but development fell through and I did not make any profit, and there was no intention to deceive the complainant from the beginning.” The prosecution found that Mr. A was not guilty. The prosecution explained the reason for non-indictment by saying, “For the charge to be acknowledged, it must be confirmed that the money received from the complainant was used for something other than the purchase of land. Considering that the suspect used the loan to actually purchase land, it is difficult to conclude that he stole the money by deceiving the complainant.” Kim Young-heum, a lawyer at Daeryun law firm who represented Mr. “We dug into it,” he said. “We were able to obtain a good result by presenting objective financial data proving that the client actually used the loan to purchase land, while also revealing that there were actual development opportunities in the area, and persuading us that this case was nothing more than a civil settlement issue, not a criminal deception.” Reporter Kim Hee-guk kukie@kookje.co.kr[View full article] “It will be developed near the airport”… Man in his 70s on charges of 500 million won loan fraud not indicted (link)

사업자 넘겼는데 반년뒤 "내 돈 돌려내"...사기 혐의 40대 불기소
I handed over the business, but half a year later, "Give me my money back"... 40-year-old not indicted on fraud charges
A man in his 40s who was accused of deceiving the transferee with false information during the business transfer process was cleared of charges. The Chuncheon District Prosecutors' Office ordered a non-indictment against Mr. A, a man in his 40s who was transferred on charges of fraud on the 8th of last month. Mr. A was an acquaintance in July 2024. In the process of concluding a business transfer contract with Mr. B, he was accused of stealing property profits worth 180 million won by lying about the status of customers, company debt, and facility status. Mr. A was reported to have claimed at the time, "I have no debt to the company and own all assets, including facilities." Mr. A completely denied the charges. He said, "Mr. B, an acquaintance of 10 years, decided to take over after already knowing the financial status of the company, including sales." He refuted this. He also emphasized, "It is true that the business rights were transferred, but the list of facilities or goods subject to transfer was not specifically specified in the contract." The prosecution accepted Mr. A's argument. It was determined that Mr. B was able to fully understand the overall business as he regularly visited the company. The prosecution said, "The suspect continued to work at the business for several months after the business transfer," and "If he had tried to deceive the other party for the purpose of embezzling money, it would have been difficult to carry out such an action." He explained. Heo Jeong-won, a lawyer at Daeryun Law Firm who represented Mr. A, said, "We actively explained that whether or not a crime of fraud is established must be judged based on the time of the act of deception. It was effective to clearly point out the facts underlying the transfer agreement, such as the fact that the debt questioned by the complainant is also included in the subject of succession." #Accident #Fraud #40s #Non-indictment Park Seok-ho (haitai2000@ikbc.co.kr)[View full article] I handed over the business, but half a year later, "Give me my money back"... 40-year-old not indicted on fraud charges (link)

'레이저 치료, 시술행위' 보험금 지급 거절에…法 "신체 조작 가하면 수술"
Refusal of insurance payment for ‘laser treatment and procedures’… Law: “Surgery is required if the body is manipulated”
Let’s claim the cost of laser treatment for ‘congenital nevi’… Insurance company: “Simple procedure without incisions.” The court said, “Laser removes lesions by destroying melanin cells… It is practically similar to excision.” The court ruled that even if it is a laser procedure rather than a surgical operation, if it has a substantial surgical effect, such as removing a lesion, it should be recognized as surgery under the terms and conditions. According to the legal community on the 5th, the 3-1 Civil Division of the Suwon District Court handed down the lower court ruling that ruled in favor of the plaintiff in the appeal of the insurance claim lawsuit filed by A, a woman in her 40s, against the insurance company on the 15th of last month. Maintained. Mr. A signed an insurance contract with his children scheduled to be born in 2019 as the insured. The contract included a special clause providing for payment of surgical expenses for congenital deformities, deformities, and chromosomal abnormalities. Mr. A's child, born the following year, was diagnosed with a congenital non-neoplastic nevi and received laser treatment accordingly. Initially, the insurance company paid the treatment costs, but later refused to pay for additional treatment costs, causing a dispute. Mr. A filed a lawsuit against the company, claiming that he had met all requirements for insurance payment, including receiving a definitive diagnosis from a doctor and undergoing surgery necessary for treatment. On the other hand, the insurance company refuted this claim. This means that the diagnosis cannot be considered confirmed based solely on clinical estimates without undergoing a biopsy. In addition, it was argued that laser treatment is not subject to payment under the terms and conditions because it is a procedure other than surgery that involves manipulation such as cutting or excision of the body. The court ruled in Mr. A's favor. The court explained, "The doctor in charge stated that the diagnosis of the disease is usually confirmed through clinical observation by a specialist," and "The diagnosis of the disease should be considered confirmed." Regarding the issue of surgery, "The disease is unlikely to improve naturally and may affect social life, so treatment is necessary," and "The laser procedure used for treatment is a method of treating lesions by breaking melanin pigment cells into small pieces." It continued, "This involves manipulation of the living body. “It can be considered similar to excision in that it removes the injured lesion, so it is a surgery as defined in the terms and conditions,” he added. The insurance company, which was dissatisfied with the first trial result, appealed, saying that it was a case where treatment was not necessary, but the second trial court also made the same ruling. Attorney Choi Han-sik of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. “We were able to obtain a favorable ruling,” he explained.

부산 학부모 연합 네트워크 'BSPN' 공식 출범
Busan Parents' Association Network 'BSPN' officially launched
Advocating as an 'executive network' beyond simple friendship, parents across Busan have come together as a huge network to directly solve local education and safety issues and create a city where children are happy.

According to BSPN, more than 200 people, including parents, education sector and community officials, attended the event. Launched on this day. BSPN promotes an ‘executive network’ that is differentiated from existing parent groups.

The purpose is to share correct information and bring about improvements through practical actions such as discussions, campaigns, and volunteer activities. The launch ceremony opened with a congratulatory performance by the children's cheering team 'Shooting Star' along with the declaration of the slogan 'Parents of Busan, One Heart'. Subsequently, BSPN's operational direction and detailed quarterly action plan for 2026 were revealed. The major plans included △ monthly regular meetings by branch △ quarterly Busan-wide joint events △ school route and school zone safety campaigns △ discussions and meetings on current care and education issues △ community service with family participation. BSPN has established a solid advisory system comprised of experts in each field to add expertise to the passion of parents. In the field of safety, Choi Tae-sik, president of the Busan City Veterans Association, Kim Dong-hwa, CEO of Edith Education, in the education field, and Kang Jeong-chil, CEO of Busan Briquette Bank, participate as advisors in the community field. In addition, Soo-yeon Son, a lawyer from Daeryun Law Firm, joined to protect the rights of children and adolescents, and Cheol-gyu Jeong (Blanca), a multicultural expert lecturer and former broadcaster, joined to support multicultural families. Solidarity with other regions also attracted attention. Park Ju-jeong, the author of 'Teacher Park Ju-jeong and the 707 Children' and former superintendent of the Gwangju Western Office of Education, sent a special congratulatory video, adding to the meaning of child-centered solidarity. BSPN plans to continue various collaborations, including special lectures, with former Superintendent Park in the future. On this day, BSPN formalized its organization by awarding letters of appointment to regional branch presidents, including Yoo Yeon-ju (specialized high school), Ahn Seon-young (Dongrae), Kang Eun-ah (west), Han Nan-hee (northern), Park Ji-young (southern), and Baek Min-hee (Haeundae), led by general high school president and representative Park Seo-hee. External communication is handled by Chief Spokesperson Jeong-soo Son, Director of Public Relations Planning Jeong-seop Yoon, and Director of SNS and Contents Hyun-seok Lee. The highlight of the event was the reading of the declaration by the six joint delegation members and the 'flag performance' by Representative Seo-hee Park waving a large flag. Attendees cheered and cheered for Busan parents' new leap forward. BSPN Chief Spokesperson Son Jeong-soo said, "We proved today that parents in Busan can be of one mind," and added, "We will become a strong network that protects and cares for all children in Busan at the same level, just as we look at our children with warm eyes."
