The court said, “It was accessed to revoke privileges... It is not a transferred material or a trade secret material.” A consulting company filed a request for a provisional injunction against an employee suspected of leaking trade secrets, but the court did not accept it. The 60th Civil Division of the Seoul Central District Court dismissed the application for a provisional injunction, including a ban on trade secret infringement, filed by consulting company A against employee B in February. Person B, who worked in the human resources team, was suspended from company A in September last year and had the company's servers and Company A was notified that access to mail would be restricted. However, Company A filed a preliminary injunction, claiming that even after Mr. B was suspended, Mr. B accessed the company's server, downloaded a large amount of trade secret information, and transferred some of it to an external hard drive. Mr. B denied the download itself. It is said that he accessed the server to revoke his server privileges. He also emphasized that the files moved to the external hard drive were only evidence for disciplinary action and were not trade secret information. The court ruled in Mr. B's favor. The court said, “When the server is synchronized, the file date value changes. Looking at the changed date value, there is a possibility that the debtor accessed the server at the time,” but added, “Even if you simply connect, it automatically synchronizes.” He added, “This supports the debtor’s claim that he accessed only to remove permission,” and added, “As the data transferred to the storage device is also not case-related data, it cannot be considered that trade secret information was leaked based on this.” Daeryun Law Firm, which represented Mr. B. Attorney Ji Min-hee explained, “Infringement of trade secrets is recognized only when there is an act of using or disclosing trade secret data for the purpose of gaining unfair advantage or inflicting damage. In this case, since Mr. B had neither the purpose of infringement nor use or disclosure, he was able to explain this well and resolve the injustice.” Reporter Kim Jong-cheol (jckim99@sportsseoul.com)[View full article] Are trade secrets leaked when accessing the company server and downloading files?...

The public's gaze is becoming colder as the controversy over the age of 19 related to male celebrities' SNS is repeated. On the 13th, actor Nam Yoon-soo was criticized for reposting a post on his social media (SNS) account containing an inflatable structure with a woman's important parts clearly visible. Nam Yoon-soo explained through a fan communication platform, "I was driving. What is the repost? Did I get hacked?" Nevertheless, as the controversy did not die down, Nam Yoon-soo apologized on social media, saying, "Today, I belatedly confirmed that an unpleasant post had been reposted without my knowledge. I am upset and sincerely sorry for causing inconvenience to many people. I will be more careful in the future." As many male celebrities have previously received a lot of criticism for uploading posts or participating in voting under the age of 19, it seems inevitable that Nam Yoon-soo will also suffer damage to his image. Last December, actor Park Sung-hoon caused a lot of shock when he uploaded and deleted a Japanese AV cover parodying 'Squid Game' on social media. The agency explained, “The actor uploaded it by mistake while checking the DM (direct message) window, and since many messages related to the photo were received, he tried to share it on the company account to raise awareness of the problem.” However, despite the agency’s quick explanation, criticism still poured in, and he eventually had to withdraw from his next work, ‘The Tyrant’s Chef.’ Meanwhile, actor Kim Seong-cheol was embroiled in a sexual harassment controversy last February when he participated in a vote on liking or disliking girl group members on an account that uploaded provocative girl group-related content. The account was dealing with problematic content, such as posting a slow video highlighting a specific member's body part, and netizens criticized it, saying, "I don't understand why the official account participated in such a vote." In response, the agency Story J Company responded by saying, "We didn't know it was a controversial account and canceled it immediately after learning about it." The public, especially female fans, are concerned that celebrities they support and support are involved in or inadvertently share content that sexualizes women's bodies. When you see this, rather than accepting it as a simple mistake, you may feel a strong sense of betrayal and discomfort. Also, there is a problem with dismissing all of these incidents as a ‘mistake’. In particular, there is a possibility that posts shared by them by mistake may face legal problems. Attorney Kim Dong-jin of Daeryun Law Firm said, “The mere act of posting (pornography) on SNS that can be viewed by an unspecified number of people can be punished under the Act on Promotion of Information and Communications Network Utilization and Information Protection, etc. (Article 44-7). Depending on the purpose of the act and the extent of the case, the Special Act on Punishment of Sexual Crimes, etc. (Article 13) “There is a possibility of being punished,” he said. However, in the cases in question, they claim it was a “simple mistake,” so he said, “In order to be legally punished, a process of proving intent is first necessary.” Even if immediate legal punishment was avoided, the mere fact of posting pornography on SNS where everyone can see it can have a negative impact on society. Cultural critic Ha Jae-geun said, “Depending on the intention, it will be divided whether the act is wrong or not, but the result is the image of a ‘19+.’ “Because of this, it can have a negative impact on the general public and especially teenagers,” he said. “Celebrities need to be responsible when managing and posting on SNS.” In this way, personal space called SNS can sometimes become a harsh verification stand for the public. Celebrities who work based on public trust seem to need more careful management and responsibility.

A man in his 30s who was put on trial for allegedly omitting the purchase price in the process of selling a used cell phone was found not guilty. According to the legal community on the 11th, the Gwangju District Court found Mr. A, in his 30s, not guilty in February on charges of embezzlement on the job. While working at a mobile phone dealer in Gwangju in 2022, Mr. A sold a used mobile phone he received from a customer for 150,000 won, and was sued by the president for not depositing the amount into the company account. Mr. A denied the charge, claiming that he had forgotten to re-deposit the money into the company account after selling the device. The prosecution concluded that Mr. A had an intention to embezzle and indicted him briefly with a fine of 300,000 won, but Mr. A requested a formal trial. “When I was working at the dealership, I had continuously handled the business of selling used devices. Nevertheless, there was a problem only in this one case,” he said. The court also ruled that there was no intention of embezzlement and declared the person not guilty. The court said, “We did not find any suspicious circumstances other than this case,” and ruled, “We cannot rule out the possibility that it was a simple omission, as the defendant claimed.” Kwak Ji-yeon, a lawyer at Daeryun Law Firm who represented Mr. A, said, “Mr. “There was an omission in the delivery of the sales payment by mistake while disposing of the mobile phone,” he explained. “After hearing about the omission from the complainant, he promised to return it, but the complainant immediately filed a complaint.” He also said, “Mr. A had no intent to embezzle, and there was no other evidence to prove it. Therefore, in this case, he was acquitted because there was no proof of a crime.” Reporter Jeong Eui-jin (jej88@ikbc.co.kr)[View full article] Man in his 30s accused of embezzlement for missing deposit of 150,000 won, found not guilty

A worker who filed a request for relief on the grounds that unfair personnel appointments were made was granted a citation by the Labor Relations Commission. On February 7, the Gyeonggi Regional Labor Relations Commission issued a citation in a lawsuit filed by a worker in his 40s, A, in his 40s, against manufacturer B for relief from unfair transfers. Person A joined Company B in the early 2000s and has worked there for over 20 years. The problem began when Mr. A was appointed as the team leader of a newly established department in November of last year. Mr. A claimed that this action was part of layoffs. It is said that retaliatory personnel appointments were made when Mr. A did not apply for the company's voluntary retirement recruitment held in January. At the same time, the company emphasized that it was an unfair transfer, saying that the team consisted of people of higher rank than the company and that it was inefficient by assigning tasks that overlapped with the existing organization. Company B completely refuted this. He claimed that a new team was established to strengthen the company's competitiveness and improve production efficiency, and that it was only a transfer accordingly. In addition, it was explained that it was a justified measure because there were no disadvantages to workers' lives, such as an increase in commuting time, and the situation was explained through interviews. The Labor Relations Commission ruled in Mr. A's favor. The committee said, "The management did not assign clear roles when creating the department, so work was not accomplished and no visible results were produced." It also said, "It appears that dissonance within the team continues, with team members having higher ranks than the workers designated as leaders, leading to difficulties in command." He added, "As a result, the purpose and role of the department's existence are very questionable," and "It is difficult to acknowledge the business necessity of the company's transfer as well." Attorney Choi Han-sik of the Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A in this case, said, "When determining business necessity, the company must objectively look at whether it contributes to rational operation, such as improving work efficiency by appropriately deploying labor." “It appears that the need has not been recognized,” he said.

The crime of property damage is committed when physical force is exercised over an object with the knowledge of infringing on all or part of the utility of another person's property, thus harming the utility of the object for its original purpose. In other words, the key to establishing a crime of property damage is ‘intention.’ If you damage another person's property by simple mistake, it does not constitute a crime and you cannot be punished. So, will the charge also apply if you damage another person's property while intoxicated? First of all, the answer to that question is ‘yes’. Even if you do not remember because you are drunk, a legal judgment is made based on evidence. Also, since the crime of property damage is not a crime of pro-reporting or a crime of impunity (a crime that requires the victim to file a complaint), the investigation can proceed even if the victim does not want to be punished. If the charge is applied and you are punished, you can be imprisoned for up to 3 years or fined up to 7 million won in accordance with Article 366 of the Criminal Act (damage to property, etc.). I will introduce a case that I actually handled. Suspect A, while intoxicated, struck a neighbor's vehicle parked in the parking lot of his apartment several times with his foot. As a result, the vehicle was damaged and expensive repair costs were incurred. Mr. A learned that he had committed the crime only after receiving a call from the police the next day. At the time, the scene of Mr. A's crime was captured on CCTV at the scene. In response, Mr. A contacted the victim and offered an apology along with the cost of repairs, and he thought this would put an end to the incident. However, the case was transferred to the prosecution and was in danger of being handed over to trial. During the prosecution investigation stage, the case was actively appealed to the point that was reached with the victim. After securing the victim's statement of leniency that he did not want criminal punishment for Mr. A, this was delivered to the prosecution. As a result, Mr. A was able to receive a non-indictment. Attorney Lee Dong-geun of Daeryun Law Firm said, “What is important in property damage crimes is ‘agreement.’ This is because agreement with the victim is judged to be a sentencing factor for reduced sentences in criminal proceedings. In particular, with regard to agreement, it is necessary to secure accurate data such as conversation details or deposit details between the parties.”[View full article] You can be punished for vandalism and destruction of property while intoxicated...

The court ruled that even if the facts are not detailed in the notice of dismissal, it does not matter if the person concerned is fully aware of the reason for dismissal. According to the legal community on the 10th, the 2nd administrative division of the Daejeon High Court recently ruled that the plaintiff lost in the administrative lawsuit to cancel the retrial decision for unfair dismissal relief filed by pig farming company employee A and others against the National Labor Relations Commission. Mr. A and others were indicted on charges of selling pork containing pus to a meat packaging company in 2017 and received suspended sentences. Sentenced. Afterwards, the company dismissed Mr. A and others ex officio in accordance with the company's personnel policy that states, "Anyone who has received a sentence of imprisonment or worse cannot be appointed as an employee." In protest, Mr. A and others filed two applications for relief from unfair dismissal to the Labor Relations Commission. However, when all were dismissed, an administrative lawsuit was filed seeking cancellation of this decision. At the trial, Mr. A and others argued that there were procedural problems in the dismissal process. The dismissal decision was not approved by the personnel committee, and the company only provided notice of dismissal and did not provide final notice of dismissal. The management countered that in the case of dismissal due to ex officio dismissal, only a 30-day advance notice is required according to the regulations. The first trial ruled that the National Labor Relations Commission's dismissal of the application for relief was correct, saying, "According to the personnel regulations, in the case of dismissal for disqualification, there is no need to go through a resolution by the personnel committee. Additionally, a 30-day advance notice of dismissal and written notification of the reason and timing of dismissal is sufficient. However, since the company sent a preliminary notice of dismissal, it cannot be considered that there is a procedural illegality." Then, Mr. A and others appealed, saying that there was still a procedural problem because the reason for dismissal in the notice received only included the phrase ‘a sentence higher than imprisonment is confirmed’ and no specific facts were stated. However, the appellate court also ruled that there was no problem with the dismissal procedure. The appellate court ruled, “Considering that Mr. A and others were notified of dismissal after the confirmation of probation and continued to appear at the Labor Relations Commission to apply for relief, and that they had not committed any other crimes before receiving the notice, it is reasonable to assume that they knew that the criminal judgment in the case was used as a reason for dismissal,” adding, “Even if the reason for dismissal was briefly stated, it cannot be considered that there was a procedural defect.” In this case, Lee Ki-jun, an attorney at Daeryun Law Firm who represented the company as an auxiliary defendant, said, “Dismissal was dismissed. “If the person concerned knew the reason for the dismissal and was able to respond, it cannot be said to be a notice of dismissal in violation of the Labor Standards Act even if the reason was not stated in detail, and the fact that Mr. A and others were clearly aware of the reason by actively responding after receiving the notice was accepted, so it could be recognized as a legitimate dismissal procedure.” Reporter Jeong Cheol-wook[View full article] In response to the claim of “unfair notice of dismissal without stating the facts,” the court said, “Recognition of the reason is sufficient” (Shortcut)

False advertisements make you feel like you have met the legal requirements for recruiting members and purchasing land, but you can lose your life savings... Victims petition for strict punishment A man in his 50s who stole 2.5 billion won from four victims under the pretext of granting them membership in a local housing cooperative was sentenced to prison. The 32nd Criminal Division of the Seoul Central District Court sentenced Mr. A, who was put on trial in February on charges of violating the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, etc., to 7 years in prison. According to Article 3 of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment of Specific Economic Crimes, etc., the profits obtained from crimes are more than 500 million won. If the amount is less than 5 billion won, you can be sentenced to imprisonment for a fixed term of 3 years or more. Mr. A, a construction worker, stole a total of 2.55 billion won from victims by suggesting to his acquaintances, “If you pay a certain amount, you will be able to receive an apartment at a lower cost than ordinary union members.” However, as a result of the investigation, it was found that Mr. A had never established the union itself and had never secured land or approved a business plan. It was confirmed. At the trial, Mr. A denied all charges, saying there was no intention to deceive. The court sentenced him to prison considering the nature of the crime and the degree of damage. The court stated the reason for the sentencing, saying, “The scale of the damage was significant, and no special efforts were made to recover the damage suffered by the victims, so the nature of the crime is very poor.” Attorney Park Seong-yoon of Daeryun Law Firm, who served as the legal representative for the victims, said, “Even if Mr. A received money from the victims, he had no intention or ability to grant union membership or sell an apartment,” and added, “As a result of checking the account details, the misappropriated money was used for personal purposes such as food expenses or for other business expenses.” “It was discovered that it was used,” he explained. He continued, “In particular, Mr. A committed the crime by taking advantage of the trust that came from his personal relationship with the victims, and some of them even lost their life savings.” At the same time, he added, “Mr. A did not stop the secondary assault, including threatening and urging an agreement under the pretext of repaying the damage,” and added, “The victims’ plea for severe punishment for Mr. A was recognized and the prison sentence was handed down.” Reporter Kim Jong-cheol (jckim99@sportsseoul.com)[View full article] False advertisements make you feel like you have met the legal requirements for recruiting members and purchasing land, but you can lose all your life savings...

Reduction of damaging posts online 'Volleyball Empress' last game abuse of fan sentiment Professional baseball also ramps up ticket scalping by hundreds of thousands of won Number of reports of ticket scalpers 10 times in 4 years in 2024 Even if caught on-site, fine is only 200,000 won Even if caught on-site, the fine is only 200,000 won It is not easy to prove the use of macro "The system needs to be improved, including raising the level of punishment." Lee, a volleyball fan in his 20s, attempted to reserve a ticket to watch volleyball player Kim Yeon-kyung's retirement game on the 8th, but failed. He wanted to get tickets even if he had to pay extra, so he posted “I’m looking for tickets” on social networking service (SNS) X (formerly Twitter). Mr. Lee soon received a call saying he would sell the ticket, and although the price was more than double the regular price, he decided to buy it. Mr. Lee sent money to the seller's account, but never received the ticket. By the time he raised the issue, the seller had already gone into hiding. Seongdong Police Station in Seoul began an investigation after receiving a ticket fraud complaint filed by Mr. Lee. As the domestic professional baseball season opens and festivals and concerts heralding spring continue, ticket scams are rampant. The method of ticket scalping fraud, which is usually carried out through transactions between individuals, is simple, but the number of damage cases continues to increase every year. Experts suggest that institutional improvements are needed, such as increasing the level of punishment for ticket fraud and activating reporting centers. On this day, it was easy to find posts complaining about damage from ticket fraud along with inquiries about seeking tickets to Kim Yeon-kyung's retirement game in online communities. Mr. A, who said his cousin was a victim of a ticket scam, expressed his resentment, saying, “I deposited 360,000 won to purchase tickets for the 5th game at Joonggonara, but was blocked by the scammer.” He added, “The scammer is changing his ID and repeatedly posting the same posts.” Ticket scalping is also a chronic problem in professional baseball, which recently opened and set a record of over 1 million spectators with the fewest games ever (60 games). Last year, scalped tickets for the Korean Series were well over 10 times the regular price, and weekend ticket scalpers worth hundreds of thousands of won are continuing this season as well. The Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) is also working with the 10 clubs in the league to come up with measures to strengthen response to minimize damage from ticket scalping. Ticket scalping fraud in professional sports is increasing every year. According to the Ticket Scam Reporting Center operated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, the number of reports, which was only 6,237 in 2020, jumped more than eight times to 51,405 as of August last year. The total number of reported cases last year is estimated to exceed 60,000 for the first time ever. Crimes are mainly committed online by collecting the ticket price from buyers and then disappearing, or sending fake tickets. There are also cases where a large number of tickets are purchased using a so-called ‘macro (automatic repeat entry program)’ and then sold through scalping to make a large profit. Eunhee Lee, a professor of consumer studies at Inha University, explained, “As ticket purchases and transactions are all done online, the damage to consumers has increased significantly compared to before,” adding, “Criminals are making money more easily.” Measures to eradicate ticket scalping are insufficient. Above all, it is pointed out that the severity of punishment under the current law is weak. On-site ticket scalping is subject to a fine of less than 200,000 won under the Misdemeanor Punishment Act, which is far less than the profits from scalping. Regarding the punishment of scalpers, which are rampant online, since last year, those who use macros can be subject to a maximum of one year in prison or a fine of up to 10 million won, but investigative agencies are having difficulty proving that macros were used. Attorney Shin Yong-hoon (Daeryun Law Firm) said, “There are strong concerns that the level of punishment is lower than the profits in the case of some scalpers.” He emphasized, “There must be a means to deprive people of benefits through regulations.” Professor Lee Eun-hee said, “This is not a problem that can be solved simply by increasing the number of public officials who monitor,” and advised, “We need to consider activating a reporting center that collects ticket trading activities and linking it with the police.” Reporters Jang Han-seo and Byun Se-hyeon[View full article] “Kim Yeon-kyung disappeared after receiving 360,000 won in tickets for her retirement game”… Even though ticket scalping and fraud are rampant, punishment is mild (link)
