1. The Client Who Visited a Chuncheon Attorney
The client who visited a Chuncheon attorney stated that his wife had committed an affair.
The other party was said to be a man who was the wife's coworker, and having suffered emotional harm, he visited Chuncheon Daeryun Law Firm, stating that he wished to file a claim for consolation money against the adulterous partner.
2. Liability for Damages Arising from the Tort of the Adulterous Partner in the Chuncheon Attorney's Case
In the Chuncheon attorney's client's case, the adulterous partner bears liability for damages arising from a tort.
The Tort of the Adulterous Partner in the Chuncheon Attorney's Case
From a certain point, the Chuncheon attorney's client's wife would not come home until late at night or would stay out overnight, wore heavy makeup, and often came home intoxicated.
The client sensed something was wrong with his wife's behavior but did not raise the matter, fearing it might escalate into a quarrel.
Then, while using the computer at home, he came to see that his wife's timeline had been recorded, and the timeline showed the addresses of several motels and another apartment that was not the client's home.
The client was greatly shocked but decided to observe, and one morning, after confirming that his wife had not gone to work but had gone to a motel, he waited nearby and saw his wife and the adulterous partner.
Too flustered at the scene, he returned straight home and waited for his wife, and as soon as she arrived, he pressed her, and although she denied it at first, she ultimately admitted to the affair with the adulterous partner.
Liability for Damages of the Adulterous Partner in the Chuncheon Attorney's Case
According to Supreme Court Decision 2011Meu2997,
A third party must not intervene in another couple's marital community life so as to cause the breakdown of that marital community life and thereby interfere with the marital community life that constitutes the essence of the marriage, and where a third party, by engaging in an affair with one spouse, infringes upon or interferes with the maintenance of the marital community life that constitutes the essence of the marriage and infringes upon the rights of the other as a spouse, thereby inflicting emotional distress on that spouse, such conduct, in principle, constitutes a tort. |
so the Court has held.
As a result of the adulterous partner's conduct, the relationship of trust between the client and his wife was destroyed.
The client is suffering severe emotional distress and has been undergoing psychiatric treatment, reaching a state in which he cannot sleep without sleeping pills.
In this way, the adulterous partner's affair brought the client's marriage to the point of breakdown, and the adulterous partner has an obligation to compensate, at least monetarily, for the tort committed against the client.
3. The Adulterous Partner's Argument in the Chuncheon Attorney's Case
In the Chuncheon attorney's client's case, the 🔗adulterous partner admitted that he had met the client's wife at work and that their feelings had grown and developed into a romantic relationship.
He also offered a sincere apology to the Chuncheon attorney's client.
However, he argued that he soon realized it was wrong and that, having seen each other for only about two months, the period was not that long, and that after ending the relationship he did not meet or contact her.
The Chuncheon Attorney's Rebuttal of the Adulterous Partner's Argument
In the Chuncheon attorney's client's case, the adulterous partner acknowledged his own wrongdoing and offered a sincere apology, yet falsely claimed a lesser degree of the affair.
Even a review of the client's wife's timeline alone shows that the client's wife and the adulterous partner went to the adulterous partner's apartment and nearby motels whenever they had the opportunity, and contrary to the adulterous partner's argument, they continue the affair to this day.
The Chuncheon attorney's client spends each day in suffering because of the adulterous partner and, seeing the attitude of not admitting the facts, suffered an even greater emotional shock.
The adulterous partner should be required to provide the client with at least monetary consolation for the conduct he committed.
4. The Judgment the Chuncheon Attorney's Client Received
Having heard the Chuncheon attorney's representation, the court rendered a judgment ordering the adulterous partner to pay 20 million won in consolation money to the Chuncheon attorney's client.
