Seocho Law Firm Assistance Case | A Minor Fine for a Client Charged With Assault Through the Assistance of the Seocho Law Firm

The client who came to the Seocho law firm assaulted the victim, a workplace colleague.

While working at the office, the client had trouble with the victim, with whom he had generally been on poor terms.

During an argument with the victim, the client pushed the victim's chest area with his shoulder and elbow.

The client, who was subject to a complaint on charges of assault for pushing the victim's chest three times, requested the assistance of the Seocho law firm in order to defend against punishment.

The Seocho law firm explained the 🔗crime of assault.

The crime of assault is not established only when there is a resulting injury to a person; it is established as long as it is proven that physical force was applied against the other party's will.

In addition, assault committed as a group or while carrying a dangerous object may be subject to aggravated punishment as special assault, so for an accurate assessment of the situation, please consult with the 🔗Seocho law firm.

• Article 260 (Assault, Assault on a Lineal Ascendant)

(1) A person who commits assault against the body of another shall be punished by imprisonment of up to 2 years, a fine of up to 5 million won, detention, or a minor fine.

(2) A person who commits the crime under paragraph (1) against his or her own or his or her spouse's lineal ascendant shall be punished by imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 7 million won.

• Article 261 (Special Assault)

A person who commits assault against the body of another by displaying the collective force of a group or multitude or while carrying a dangerous object shall be punished by imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 10 million won.

The client had been standing with his hands behind his back in order to avoid a physical altercation with the victim.

The Seocho law firm argued that the client had no intention whatsoever to commit assault and that he had made light, unintended contact with the victim's body.

The Seocho law firm examined the victim's statements.

The firm argued that the credibility of the statements was diminished, as the victim filed the complaint five months after the fact and described the manner of the assault differently each time he gave a statement.

The client regrets and is remorseful about the matter.

The Seocho law firm emphasized that the client had resolved never to cause such an incident again.

The client who came to the Seocho law firm was subject to a complaint after assaulting a workplace colleague.

The client accordingly requested the assistance of a Seocho attorney at Daeryun.

As a result of this assistance, the client was able to receive a modest fine.
