[Gwangju Damages Attorney Wins the Case] Gwangju Damages Attorney Succeeds in Claiming Tens of Millions of Won in Consolation Money

The client who came to a Gwangju damages attorney grew suspicious of his spouse's frequent golf gatherings and trips.

After checking the family credit card records, mobile phone, and the like, the client discovered the affair with the male affair partner.

To address the issue of the breakdown of the family, the client requested a damages lawsuit against the male affair partner from a Gwangju damages attorney.

■ Civil Act Article 766 (Extinctive Prescription of the Right to Claim Damages)

(1) The right to claim damages arising from a tort lapses by prescription if it is not exercised within three years from the date on which the injured party or his or her legal representative becomes aware of the loss and of the person who caused it.

(2) The same applies when ten years have passed from the date on which the tort was committed.

■ Points to Note in a Consolation Money Lawsuit Against an Affair Partner

Once the marital community has broken down through discord and a prolonged separation, so that the substance of married life no longer exists and the relationship has reached a state that cannot objectively be restored, the other spouse cannot claim damages against a third party even if that third party had an affair with one of the spouses.

■ Consolation money may be claimed against an affair partner who is responsible for the breakdown of the marriage, but the claim does not apply where the following conditions are met

1. Where the affair partner could not have known that my spouse was married

2. Where the de facto marital relationship had already ended before the affair took place

Among the points the Gwangju damages attorney raised, the client argued that the defendant, knowing that the client's spouse was a married woman, continued to approach her and engaged in enticement and infidelity.

The client also stated that, although the client and the spouse remained in a marital relationship, the defendant denied that fact and continued to entice her into infidelity.

The Gwangju damages attorney emphasized that the client had suffered considerable emotional distress and social pressure because of the defendant, and that the defendant was clearly the party who caused the breakdown of the family.

The damages lawsuit arising from the affair partner was handled together with Daeryun's attorneys, and the claim for consolation money was successful.

The case above is an example in which the client successfully claimed consolation money against the affair partner who had engaged in infidelity with the client's spouse.
