Preference for probation without immediate financial burden varies depending on the financial circumstances and values ​​of the defendant. Argument for the introduction of a ‘daily fine system’ to increase the effectiveness of fines. “This is completely wrong.” This is what a defendant said when he was given leniency with a fine by the court during a recent criminal trial at the Busan Court Complex. He then said, "When I consulted with my lawyer, I confessed because I was told that I would be sentenced to probation if I admitted to the crime, so I confessed," and urged the court to sentence him to probation, which is a more severe sentence than a fine. A suspended sentence is a more severe punishment than a fine, so the court, who was clearly embarrassed, sent the defendant back with the words, "Appeal and get a new judgment." The reason the defendant asks for a suspended sentence is interpreted to be because suspended sentences do not cause immediately visible damage or financial burden. When a fine is sentenced, as a rule, the entire amount must be paid in a lump sum within 30 days from the date of decision, and financial expenses are incurred immediately. On the other hand, with probation, there is no financial loss and you do not have to spend time in prison, so you are free. Attorney Kim Dong-jin of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited) said, “A fine requires payment immediately, but (defendants) think that probation is a risk that transfers the prison sentence to the future and disappears.” He added, “Thoughts about probation are different depending on each person’s economic situation or values. Occupations in large companies or public institutions have the continuity of their jobs if they receive probation according to regulations. On the other hand, for self-employed people who are not affiliated with others, they much prefer suspended sentences rather than fines,” he explained. In Korea, the punishments are severe in the order of ▲ fines ▲ suspension of qualifications ▲ loss of qualifications ▲ fixed-term imprisonment ▲ fixed-term imprisonment ▲ life imprisonment ▲ life imprisonment ▲ death penalty. If a fine of 5 million won or less is imposed, probation may be imposed for not less than 1 year but not more than 5 years. Probation is a system that postpones the execution of a guilty sentence for a certain period of time rather than executing it immediately. It is a much heavier punishment than a fine under criminal law. Also, if you receive a suspended sentence, a criminal record is left behind, as in the expression 'a red line is drawn'. If you commit a crime during the period of probation and appear in court again, you must serve the newly sentenced sentence along with the previously suspended sentence. However, if you are in a difficult economic situation, or if you are in a suspended sentence, a red line is left behind. People who are not greatly affected by probation prefer it because there is no immediate harm even if they receive probation. In response to this irrationality, experts suggest the introduction of a 'daily fine system' in which fines are set according to the financial circumstances of the defendants in order to increase the effectiveness of fines. Korea adopts a 'total fine system'. This system is a fine system that imposes a certain amount of money on the defendant within the scope of the statutory penalty. The daily fine system is a system that sets a fine based on a criminal's daily income. The purpose is to impose fines in proportion to the ability to bear the financial burden. Dr. Gyeong-gyu Park of the Korea Institute of Criminology and Legal Policy explained, "Legal experts view probation as a much heavier punishment than fines. However, defendants who are struggling financially feel that fines are more reluctant than probation because they affect their livelihoods, such as having to pay immediately." He continued, "Fines were created to punish minor crimes, such as livelihood-related crimes, not serious crimes that limit freedom." “Most crimes are subject to fines, but our country uses a total fine system, so we do not look deeply into the financial circumstances of the defendant,” he said. “There are ongoing calls to introduce a daily fine system, which some European countries, such as Germany, are adopting as a way to increase the effectiveness of fines.”  [View full article] - Defendant who requested a heavier probation than a fine... why?

There is controversy after it was reported that a teacher in his 40s and a student in his 10s were dating. According to the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education on the 11th, an inappropriate meeting between male teacher A (in his 40s) and Ms. B occurred at a high school in Daejeon. While working as a physical education teacher at the school, Mr. A crossed a line that should not be crossed with his student, Ms. B. They continued dating until recently and became known after Ms. B revealed the truth. Ms. B revealed this fact during a consultation with the school counselor, and the school, which belatedly discovered the problem, reported it to the city office of education and then to the police. Mr. A left school because of this. It is reported that Ms. B is currently experiencing extreme psychological anxiety. The city office of education and the school plan to connect the student with an external counseling and healing agency. The city’s Office of Education said, “Student protection is our top priority,” and “We plan to take strict action against the teacher as soon as an accurate investigation is conducted.” In this case, charges of violating the Child Welfare Act and the Child Abuse Punishment Act may be imposed, and considering the fact that he had a special status as a teacher, there is a possibility that an additional charge of adultery with a minor may be applied. On the other hand, it is said that their relationship was not forced. In particular, this is a situation where Ms. B does not want Mr. A to be punished. The city’s Office of Education said, “(Even if Ms. B does not want to be punished), we plan to take strict action because the teacher had an inappropriate relationship with a minor student.” Regarding this incident, a lawyer who spoke to Segye Ilbo on the same day said, “If we had met Ms. B after she graduated from school, there would have been no problem,” but pointed out, “Considering that Ms. B is a minor and that the incident occurred at school, it is problematic.” Meanwhile, according to Daeryun Law Firm (Yuhan), in this case, whether or not to apply the statutory rape of a minor charge will likely be decided depending on the age of Ms. B. Ms. B’s exact age was not disclosed. The crime of involuntary rape of a minor is punishable at the same level as the crime of rape or forcible molestation committed using assault or intimidation when a person over 19 years of age commits adultery or indecent assault with a minor under 16 years of age, or when a person under 19 years of age commits adultery or indecent assault with a minor under 13 years of age. Even if sexual contact occurred with a minor under the age of 16 or 13 under the age of 16, the person is subject to punishment if the above age conditions are met, and the statute of limitations does not apply, so the punishment is more severe than that for general sex crimes (Article 305 of the Criminal Act and Article 20 (3) of the Act on the Protection of Children and Adolescents from Sexual Offenses). This crime is committed even when there is the consent of the victim.  [View full article] - Is the relationship between a teacher and a high school girl who said there was no coercion, love?

-Hyun Byeong-hee Law Firm (Limited) Chief General Counsel Daeryun Legal Column Divorce means that a couple artificially dissolves their marriage through agreement or trial. It can be understood as an act of erasing the memories and time spent on wedding photography and photos that were thought to be beautifully taken through social regulations. But this divorce is not as easy as it sounds. Moreover, if it is not the divorce, but the marriage itself after the divorce is invalidated. ‘Marriage annulment’ after divorce, which seemed difficult, will now become possible. On the 23rd of last month, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that a marriage can be annulled even if the couple has already divorced. It is natural that attention is focused on this issue as the Supreme Court precedent, which ruled that there is no benefit in seeking annulment of marriage if the couple has already divorced, has changed for the first time in 40 years. Nullification of marriage does not take effect from the beginning, and divorce takes effect after divorce, so legal relationships that arose on the premise of marriage before divorce are still valid. Therefore, since the legal effects of marriage invalidity and divorce are different, there may be a benefit in confirming that the marriage relationship is invalid even after divorce. If the marriage is invalid, the provisions prohibiting marriage between relatives under the Civil Act and the provisions on rites of kinship under the Criminal Act do not apply, and joint liability for everyday household debts cannot be held under the Civil Act. This ruling affirms the benefit of confirmation as a means of resolving comprehensive legal disputes in one go for requests for confirmation of the invalidity of marriage after divorce, and provides a means to correct the family relationship register where invalid marriage history is incorrectly recorded, so disputes related to legal life can be practically resolved. It can be said to be a very meaningful ruling that expands the method of redress of the parties' rights so that the parties can have their rights resolved. If a marriage is annulled, the status as an 'unmarried person' can be legally restored. Since there has never been a marriage in the first place, even the legal relationship is extinguished, making one more free from various legal disputes. Additionally, you can receive benefits such as various welfare and support projects that you could not enjoy because of your marriage record. It is now possible to guarantee social activities and rights not only to single dads and single mothers, but also to those who have been married and divorced through illegal means. However, under the judgment that divorce and annulment have different legal effects, it has been concluded that there is a legal interest in seeking confirmation of the annulment of marriage through this ruling. It is important to keep in mind that not only are the reasons for annulment a marriage very limited, but this case does not broadly recognize the reasons. As an example, a famous celebrity, Mr. A, recently filed a lawsuit for annulment of marriage after divorcing Mr. B. The main reason is that the other party, Mr. B, hid the existence of the woman with whom he was in a common-law relationship, but Mr. A is claiming that 'the marriage is annulled because he got married under deception.' Given the existing precedent, the question arises as to whether there is any benefit to be gained by annulling the marriage since the divorce process has been completed. However, since this ruling allows the court to determine that 'there may be a legal benefit,' we have no choice but to pay attention to whether Mr. A's annulment lawsuit can be won. In addition to the fact that a lawsuit claiming a marriage annulment can only proceed under special circumstances, it must be proven that a legal benefit can arise. Since you need to look into the details and each case, you must appoint a professional attorney and provide sufficient preparation and consultation. A specific case has emerged showing that you can file a lawsuit for annulment of marriage even after divorce. An opportunity has come to piece together the memories that were tangled, fragmented, and crooked like a skein of thread. It won't be long before I can courageously look at the wedding photos and camera shutters that I took with a smile on my face again. [View full article] - Marriage can be invalidated even if divorced...

Attorney Kim Jeong-beom of Daeryun Law FirmAccording to the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation (HUG), the scale of rental guarantee accidents, for which the Housing and Urban Guarantee Corporation reimburses on behalf of landlords who fail to return the rent to tenants, recorded KRW 4.3347 trillion last year. In Daejeon, where I work, the number of rental fraud cases has increased rapidly since last year, and if you look at the list of ongoing cases, you can see that various lawsuits are being filed directly against famous rental fraud perpetrators in Daejeon, as well as various landlords, real estate agents, and the Korea Association of Real Estate Agents. Of course, there is a need for structured and continuous social discussion on institutional solution methodologies to prevent jeonse fraud, but for individuals living in an extremely specific reality, a "practical guide to preventing jeonse fraud damage" seems to be urgently needed. The following is a guide to preventing damage that is useful right now, organized by transaction stage, focusing on the regrettable aspects of proceeding with lawsuits and providing contract advice. First of all, if it is 'before the transaction stage', it is essential to "confirm the real estate registration certificate." It is important to verify the identity of the lessor through this. In particular, if the object is jointly owned, explicit confirmation of the intention of all co-owners is required. If one of the co-owners appears, or if all co-owners do not appear, it is necessary to check whether the agency contract has been properly concluded (the power of attorney and seal certificate must be checked for forgery, and if possible, it is recommended that the lease contract be concluded directly with the lessor at the real estate agent's office). In addition, you must first check the existence of a senior deposit bond (be sure to check the moving-in unit viewing history), the establishment of a lien, etc., and calculate whether you can fully recover your precious deposit when the real estate object in question ultimately reaches the auction stage. In addition, it is necessary to check whether the lessor is delinquent on taxes through a licensed real estate agent and view the details of unpaid national and local taxes from the lessor on the date of concluding the lease contract. Next, if you have entered the 'transaction stage such as writing a contract', it is important to prepare various 'safety devices' by including various special provisions in the contract contents, which include ① a special agreement that prohibits the transfer of the real estate object in question after the date of payment of the balance until opposition occurs due to a move-in report and a confirmed date (if this is violated, the lessee's right to terminate the lease contract is reserved and the amount of compensation for damages is scheduled); ② a temporary restriction on changes in ownership as above In addition, there is a special contract that prohibits the creation of any security rights such as a mortgage (to secure the right to priority payment), ③ a special contract that asks the lessor who is at fault if it is impossible to borrow the leased money due to a defect in the subject matter, ④ if there is a tax arrears, it must be repaid in full before the balance due date, and if this is violated, the lease contract is invalidated and the deposit doubled is compensated. Lastly, if you have ‘finished the transaction stage’, you must file a move-in report immediately on the day of signing the lease contract and receive a confirmation date.
