[The Power = Reporter Yoo Yeon-soo] Recently, as the age group using smart devices is getting younger, the number of victims of ‘cyber school violence’ is increasing in elementary, middle, and high schools, and cyber school violence accounts for more than 30% of all types of school violence. Cyber ​​school violence, as stipulated in the ‘School Violence Prevention and Countermeasures Act’, refers to acts in which students use information and communication devices such as the Internet and mobile phones to continuously and repeatedly psychologically attack specific students or spread personal information or false information related to specific students. With the development of information and communication media, not only simple assaults or face-to-face assaults in the past, but also acts such as verbal violence and sending insulting photos through SNS such as KakaoTalk, Facebook, and Instagram have been comprehensively defined as types of school violence. Cyber ​​school violence, which mainly occurs on SNS or KakaoTalk chat rooms, does not cause physical harm, but it causes severe mental pain, so it can cause continuous stress to the victim and cause greater mental shock and trauma than simple physical assault. Incidents of school violence are recorded in students' life records or even subject to police investigation. In particular, cyber school violence may result in criminal or juvenile protection measures depending on the specific case, such as insult, defamation under the ‘Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc.’, and obscenity using communication media under the ‘Special Act on the Punishment of Sexual Violence Crimes, etc.’. In addition, cyber school bullying may result in a high level of action being taken by the School Violence Committee because even if the bullying is not done directly, if the student is in a group chat room and watches over or sympathizes with the incident, it is considered to be bullying the victim. Therefore, if you are in a group chat room, you should avoid joining in when your friend's words and actions are inappropriate to avoid being singled out as an aggressor. Attorney Hyun Byeong-hee of Daeryun Law Firm advised, “If you are a victim of cyber school violence, you should seek legal assistance from a school violence lawyer from the beginning of the case, and take action to resolve the case by considering everything from the school violence committee to lawsuits.” View full article - If you are a victim of cyber school violence, you should consider everything from the School Violence Committee to a lawsuit.

As the real estate market has recently become tight, problems with non-payment of construction fees are occurring frequently in the domestic construction industry. Disputes arise in various situations, such as when payment is not made properly at the agreed upon time or when additional amounts are incurred as the work period is longer than originally expected. If the construction price is not paid properly, the supply of materials is delayed, the work schedule is naturally delayed, the dispute cannot be resolved, and the building remains unfinished, making the economic situation even more difficult. In these cases, the problem must be resolved legally through a construction payment claim lawsuit. A construction payment claim lawsuit literally refers to a legal procedure to demand payment when the other party does not pay the promised amount even though the construction is carried out as contracted and completed. For this lawsuit, you must prepare documents that can prove your debt relationship with the other party for the construction cost, including the contract, and the statute of limitations is relatively short at 3 years, so you must respond quickly to recover your legitimate rights. In addition, if the construction payment has not been received, it is possible to exercise the lien to occupy the construction site until the claim is repaid. However, there must be no special clause excluding the lien at the time of contract and conditions for establishment, such as maintaining possession of the site, must be met. Evidence is important because construction payment claim lawsuits arise when the parties' positions or claims differ regarding the rights or obligations under the contract, and the key is to prove clear violations of the subcontracting law, such as a construction contract written with an inflated amount. If construction was carried out according to a fair and legal contract, it is natural to receive proper payment for the construction. If you are considering legal action in relation to construction costs, you will need proof materials, lien rights, and preservation measures to prepare for compulsory execution.

[Media Fine Current Affairs Column] School violence refers to all acts involving physical, mental, or property damage, such as assault, threats, or sexual violence, that occur against students inside or outside of school. It is easy to take this lightly as something that happens between school children, but it is a serious incident of violence and must be held accountable. If the perpetrator of such a school violence incident is serious or does not show an active attitude toward reaching an agreement with the victim or recovering from the damage, he or she may be subject to various measures, such as forced expulsion or forced transfer, through the procedures of the School Violence Response Review Committee (School Violence Committee). In the School Violence Deliberation Committee, deliberation members impose a certain level of punishment on the offending student for the wrongful actions committed by the offending student toward the victim. At this time, the disposition received from the School Violence Review Committee cannot be deleted from the student records for two years, which greatly hinders the student from advancing to higher school, and follows him around like a tag even after graduation. However, if you are unfairly implicated as an aggressor, you must prepare for and respond to the School Violence Review Committee to avoid being unfairly punished by the School Violence Review Committee. The bigger problem is that if the case is serious or the victim suffers a great deal, it is highly likely that it will not only result in a school violence committee action, but also lead to civil or criminal lawsuits for school violence victims. In addition, in the case of school violence, the parties involved are minors, and it is difficult to determine the true nature of the incident through the statements of the students involved and those who witnessed it, so there are many cases in which they are unfairly framed as perpetrators or receive more severe punishment than the actual act. In the case of school violence, a clear line must be drawn regarding one's responsibility for the wrongfully accused perpetrator, but this is a problem that is difficult to resolve on an individual basis due to legal and procedural difficulties. Excessive or unfair dispositions must be supported by an accurate understanding of the facts and an objective legal analysis of the incident, so you must respond strategically through a professional lawyer.

[Big Data News Reporter Park Kyung-ho] Recently, various deviant acts such as drunk driving, sexual harassment, and bribery by public officials who should be social exemplars have been caught in many places and have become a problem. In fact, according to data from the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, the number of local public officials who received disciplinary action in 2021 reached 1,380. Civil servants are jobs that require high integrity and moral standards, and the National Civil Service Act stipulates civil servants' duty of sincerity, duty of secrecy, duty of integrity, and duty to maintain dignity. If these are violated, they will be subject to disciplinary action by the disciplinary committee for violation of the law. Punishment is determined according to the degree of illegality of the deviant act, but if a person receives severe disciplinary action such as dismissal or dismissal, he or she must resign from his/her position. Disciplinary measures that can be applied to public officials and teachers include dismissal, dismissal, and demotion. Dismissal and dismissal are classified as severe disciplinary action and exclusionary disciplinary action, demotion and suspension are classified as severe disciplinary action, and pay cuts and reprimands are considered light disciplinary action. Additionally, if you are sentenced to prison for a dishonorable case, you may not be able to receive a civil servant pension. In particular, due to the nature of the public service society, strict disciplinary responsibility is imposed for sexual misconduct such as so-called ‘gapjil’ misconduct, sexual harassment, and sexual harassment. The same goes for drunk driving and violent crimes. If the disciplinary committee's decision is unfair or excessive, a request for cancellation or change of the disciplinary action must be made through an appeal review. Appeal review refers to a special administrative review system for disciplinary actions against public officials and other unfavorable actions against their will. A public official may request review from the Appeals Review Committee within 30 days from the date of receiving a written explanation of the reasons for the disposition that explains what disciplinary action he or she will be subject to. At this time, the purpose and reason for the appeal must be stated in detail in the claim form, and the supporting materials required for minimum and change in disciplinary action must be summarized and submitted together. Attorney Jeon Hee-won of Daeryun Law Firm (Limited) advised, “It is important to proceed quickly with the appeal process based on legal grounds when it comes to reviewing civil servant disciplinary appeals. In order to lower the level of disciplinary action, a lawyer’s assistance is needed throughout the entire process from the time of inspection and inspection to the disciplinary committee proceedings.” View full article - In response to unfair disciplinary action, such as drunk driving, for public official misconduct, the appeal review process must be used.

[Global Epic Reporter Hwang Seong-su] Recently, voice phishing cases have been on the rise again. Rather than targeting older parents or seniors in the past, the method is to lure young people who are experiencing financial difficulties under the pretext of high profits and make them participate in crimes through voice phishing delivery methods. There are many cases where, without knowing that the entity giving them the work was a criminal organization, they did as they were told, thinking they could receive a large amount of compensation for simple tasks such as delivering company transaction payments or collecting loans, but were punished through voice phishing delivery and collection methods. Even if you were not aware of the crime or had no intention, if you are involved in a voice phishing crime and you fail to properly defend yourself against the investigative agency, you may be subject to criminal punishment for aiding and abetting fraud, regardless of your intention or intention. In fact, voice phishing crimes can be considered aiding and abetting fraud simply by sympathizing with or assisting in the crime. It varies depending on the degree of participation in the crime, but if a person is found guilty of fraud, he or she may be punished by imprisonment for up to 10 years or by a fine of up to 20 million won. If the charge of aiding or abetting fraud is applied, he or she can be punished by imprisonment of up to 5 years or by a fine of up to 10 million won. Voice phishing like this is a vicious crime that can have a negative impact on the people's economy and create an unspecified number of victims by deliberately trying to steal other people's property, so the punishment for the perpetrator is becoming increasingly severe. If you are a victim of voice phishing, you must first quickly file a report through the National Police Agency's 112 call center or a financial company call center and request a suspension of payment for the fraudulent account. Additionally, if you are wrongfully involved in an act without knowing that it is a criminal organization, you must prove your innocence through the legal assistance of a criminal lawyer with extensive experience in voice phishing cases. Lee Gyeong-min, a lawyer at Daeryun Law Firm (Yuhan), advised, “In the case of voice phishing, it is necessary for neither the victims nor the wronged participants to be deceived by the bait thrown by the phishing organization in the first place.” He added, “If you do not know that it is voice phishing but recognize that it may be a crime, you can be found guilty, so you must secure data that can objectively prove your innocence and seek the help of a professional lawyer to ensure a smooth adjustment.” View full article - Voice phishing delivery methods are also subject to punishment for aiding and abetting fraud...

[The Power = Reporter Choi Soo-young] Cases of military sexual assault are increasing every year, emerging as a social problem. In fact, according to data released by the Ministry of National Defense, the number of rape and molestation cases between soldiers increased by 68.3%, from 405 cases in 2018 to 682 cases in 2021. The military is a major institution with great social responsibility for national security, and its political independence is guaranteed and responsibilities commensurate with its authority are granted. However, because the military is a special organization driven by class, individual rights are often ignored or neglected, which often leads to amplification of damage. However, it has been consistently pointed out that absurdities and incorrect dispositions are difficult to correct in reality because the authority to investigate and trial military-related crimes was not in civilian investigative agencies or courts, but rather in military prosecutors, military legal police, and military courts, which are organizations within the military. After the amendment to the Military Court Act, which was designed to overcome these limitations, was implemented, civilian judicial institutions were responsible for the investigation and first trial for sexual crimes, cases in which the victim died, and crimes committed before enlistment, even if the crime occurred within the military. Although it is said that independence in the investigation and trial process has been secured through the amendment, military criminal cases, including military sex crimes, are subject to military criminal law rather than general criminal law first when punishing criminal cases. In cases of crimes not specified in the military criminal law or when the victim is a civilian, the criminal law and other special laws are applied. In particular, sexual crimes committed by soldiers against other soldiers are severely punished under the Military Criminal Act because they are serious offenses that violate individual sexual freedom and undermine military discipline. Civilian rape is punishable by more than 3 years in prison under the Criminal Act, but rape under the Military Criminal Act is punishable by more than 5 years in prison. Attorney Jo Woo-ri of Daeryun Law Firm (Lihan) advised, “If you have been unfairly involved in a military sexual crime case, it is best to find a proactive solution to protect your rights, but it is necessary to seek the help of a military lawyer considering the special nature of the related crimes to which the Military Court Act applies.” View full article - Military criminal law applies to military criminal cases such as military sexual crimes, and if it is an unreasonable misunderstanding, a prompt and professional response must be taken.

[Beyond Post Reporter Kim Hyeong-un] Recently, as the number of fraud victims due to voice phishing has increased, public opinion demanding strong punishment is growing. However, due to the difficulty of investigative agencies in apprehending the person in charge of voice phishing who led the crime, there are not many cases where effective and severe punishment is carried out. Voice phishing refers to a crime that uses electronic communication methods such as mobile phones to deceive or threaten others into sending or transferring funds or obtaining personal information. Recently, as phishing techniques have evolved, there have been many cases where part-time workers who are lured with high-paying part-time jobs as bait are used as transfer or collection methods to avoid being investigated. There are also many cases where bank accounts are transferred or rented without realizing that it is voice phishing after falling for a large reward amount. In reality, voice phishing organizations operate in the form of branch organizations, and most manager-level organization members, such as the head of the organization, have fled abroad or only give instructions from abroad from the beginning. Therefore, most of those punished for voice phishing in Korea are part-time workers or housewives who unknowingly participate in the crime. These voice phishing gang members use simple methods such as cash collection schemes to attract people by posting part-time job announcements with large incentives on internet job search sites or communities. If you are charged with aiding and abetting voice phishing fraud while acting as a cash transfer agent, you cannot avoid criminal liability simply because you did not know it was voice phishing. In addition, it is especially difficult to clear the suspicion when it is clear that a large amount of salary was paid in return for work. According to the Criminal Act, if you participate in a voice phishing crime and are found guilty of fraud, you will be subject to imprisonment for up to 10 years or a fine of up to 20 million won. Not only simple participants but also attempted criminals can be punished. Considering the negative social impact and damage, the rate of detention and investigation is high, and it often leads to a prison sentence in court. Lawyer Jang Eun-min of Daeryun Law Firm advised, “As the key point is to determine whether the crime of aiding and abetting fraud is established for a simple participant who is booked on suspicion of being a conveyancer or a collector, it is advisable to seek legal assistance from a criminal lawyer from the beginning of the case process to determine what is necessary to be acquitted or acquitted rather than simply maintaining the position of ‘it is unfair’ or ‘I did not know’.” View full article - Response plan when unfairly implicated in voice phishing

[Global Epic Reporter Hwang Seong-su] Although the couple is legally married, the marriage can be dissolved at any time through divorce. But the divorce process is not that simple. Ideally, divorce should proceed smoothly with the agreement of both parties, but there are many issues that need to be resolved, such as alimony, custody, and property division, and conflict is inevitable due to differing opinions. In particular, the issue of property division, where a couple divides property acquired jointly during marriage according to their contribution, is an important process that can determine the quality of life thereafter, so you must make sure to do your part by clearly proving your contribution. Since property division is an economic issue, even if you live with your spouse, you must consider the possibility that the other spouse may have hidden some of his or her assets. Therefore, it is necessary to look at the couple's joint assets to ensure that the subject of property division is not omitted, and if the other party has hidden assets, it is a good idea to apply for preservation measures such as provisional seizure or injunction. Assets subject to division include not only deposits, real estate, and automobiles, but also pensions, severance pay, and debts. Joint debts are shared, and if the debt arises due to one party's extravagance or gambling, the person who caused the debt is responsible. In addition, unique property owned before marriage or acquired through inheritance, gift, etc. is not included in the division of divorce property. The ratio of property division varies depending on the level of contribution. In this case, the level of contribution does not necessarily include only direct income, and even if you are a full-time housewife who is not economically active, housework and participation in childcare can be recognized as contribution. Yoo Ji-won, a lawyer at Daeryun Law Firm, advised, “Conflicts over the division of divorce property can lead to long court battles, and everything from newlywed divorce to divorce at twilight is subject to difficult and difficult divorce litigation procedures.” He added, “If you want to properly take care of your share in the division of divorce property, you need to seek legal assistance from a divorce lawyer and closely examine the case to develop a detailed litigation strategy.” View full article - Divorce litigation procedures must be carried out carefully, the key issue of property division
