A man in his 50s who was sent on charges of emotional abuse to a child after fighting in front of an acquaintance's children was transferred to the prosecution on charges of emotional abuse by assaulting his father in front of his children. According to the legal community on the 27th, the Busan District Prosecutors' Office on the 10th decided not to indict a man in his 50s, A, who was accused of child abuse. Mr. A was involved in an argument with his acquaintance B in August last year. He was accused of inflicting emotional abuse on children, including hitting Mr. B in front of his children. Article 17, Paragraph 5 of the Child Welfare Act strictly prohibits acts of emotional abuse that are harmful to children's mental health and development. ‘Emotional abuse’ also includes exposing children to domestic violence. However, Mr. A denied the charges. He said there was a slight scuffle with Mr. B at the time, but there was no assault or physical contact. At the same time, he emphasized that the assault scene is not properly revealed in the CCTV footage of the scene, and that there is no objective evidence other than the statement of the victim's family. In particular, it was argued that Mr. A's actions did not constitute emotional abuse. ‘Domestic violence’ refers to an act involving physical, mental, or property damage between family members, with the intention that Mr. A cannot be considered a family member. The police reported that Mr. A was guilty of child abuse and forwarded the case, but the prosecution decided not to indict him. The prosecution explained, “If we view all of these as ‘acts of emotional abuse’ defined by the Child Welfare Act simply because the child has been exposed to violence and other acts, virtually all criminal acts that occur in front of the child will be included in the scope of punishment, resulting in an over-expansion of criminality.” He then said, “If the suspect is a mere third party and did not inflict direct violence or verbal abuse on the child victim, the scope of application must be reasonably interpreted in consideration of the legislative purpose and language of the Child Welfare Act when determining whether or not there is a charge.” Attorney Jihye Kwon of the Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, “A ‘family member’ is defined as a spouse or former spouse, a direct ascendant, a cohabiting relative, etc., and Mr. A did not fall under this category.” “There was no intention to inflict emotional abuse on his children, and it appears that the prosecution judged this situation comprehensively,” he said.

Last year, the contract with the GS E&C and HDC Hyunsan consortium was canceled and a 7-person dedicated team was formed... “We will prove that the other party is at fault.” The Seongnam Bank Jugong Apartment Reconstruction Association, which has been in a legal conflict with the existing construction company, has selected a legal representative and entered into a full-fledged lawsuit. Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 27th that the Bank Jugong Apartment Reconstruction Association held a delegates' meeting for the lawsuit against the construction company on the 21st and appointed Daeryun as its legal representative. Previously, in April of last year, the union sued GS Engineering & Construction and HDC Hyundai Development Company, the existing construction companies. The contract with the consortium was terminated. They were selected as construction companies in 2019, but it was later confirmed that they were unable to narrow the difference in position between the union and the construction cost. Accordingly, the construction group requested the return of the bidding deposit of approximately 27.2 billion won that had been paid to the union in advance and damages for approximately 27.3 billion won in profits expected to be earned upon completion of construction. The union ultimately selected Daeryun as its legal representative after reviewing proposals received from a number of law firms. Daeryun has 7 members. We plan to form a dedicated team to respond. First, Park Jeong-gyu, head of the Construction and Real Estate Group, who previously served as a judge in the construction division, will be led by lawyers Kim Kwang-deok and Kim Hyeong-jin, both former members of large construction companies. Here, various experts, including Seon Yu-ju, a lawyer specializing in redevelopment and reconstruction registered with the Korean Bar Association, real estate lawyers Dae-hee Kang and lawyer Shin Young-sik, and lawyer Nam Young-jae, a former in-house lawyer at a POSCO Group affiliate, will also provide legal assistance. Attorney Dae-ryun Park, who represented the union, “The issue at issue in this lawsuit is to examine whether the cause of the cancellation of the construction contract is on the construction team or the union,” he said. He added, “We will highlight the fact that the construction team did not properly carry out the original contract and increased the construction cost beyond a reasonable range, and prove that the union is not at fault in the contract cancellation.” Reporter Hwang Jun-ik (plusik@tf.co.kr)[View full article] The Fact - Seongnam Bank Owners Association appoints Daeryun Law Firm...

A man in his 50s who was accused of engaging in prostitution with someone he met through an anonymous chat application was handed over to the prosecution, but was not indicted. On December 31 last year, the Seoul Central District Prosecutors' Office decided not to indict A, a man in his 50s, who was suspected of violating the law on the punishment of acts such as arranging prostitution (prostitution). In 2022, Mr. A was accused of using a smartphone chat application to meet a woman, B, and engage in prostitution. Mr. A completely denied the charges. He said that due to the nature of his job, he had to use his body a lot, so he just called a visiting masseuse to get a massage. At the same time, he emphasized that because the purpose was to receive a massage, he was not even interested in the massage therapist's personal information. The police who received the case sent Mr. A on the suspicion of prostitution, but the prosecution determined that Mr. A was not guilty. The prosecution said, "As a result of tracking the suspect's cell phone location at the time, the history of cell phone use at the location where the incident occurred was not confirmed." Attorney Park Seong-yoon of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. A, said, "In order to charge prostitution, evidence is needed that money, lodging, etc. were provided in return for sexual intercourse. At the time of the incident, Mr. A fell asleep while receiving a massage after drinking alcohol and had no recollection of anything other than calling the masseuse." He added, "If Mr. A had intended to engage in illegal prostitution, there would be no trace." “I would have made a cash transaction to avoid that,” he said.

'Freelance' workers should also be protected from workplace bullying. Recently, controversy arose when it was reported that the late MBC weather caster Oyo Anna made an extreme choice after suffering from 'workplace bullying' during her lifetime. It is known that the deceased had been subject to verbal abuse from co-workers for a long time, and although he confessed his grievances to company officials at the time, he was not properly protected. Afterwards, MBC announced that it would begin an investigation into the truth, but the criticism does not appear to be subsiding. According to Article 76-3 of the Labor Standards Act, if anyone becomes aware of workplace harassment, he or she may report the fact to the employer, and the employer must conduct an investigation into the parties without delay. It is part of the so-called 'Workplace Harassment Prohibition Act' that has been in effect since 2019, and in order to fall within the scope of this law, the person concerned must first be classified as an 'employee' under the Labor Standards Act. Therefore, it has been constantly pointed out that some non-regular workers, such as freelancers, who are not normally considered 'workers', are bound to fall into the blind spot of the anti-workplace harassment law. Mr. Oh also worked as a ‘freelancer’ at a broadcasting company. The problem is that many broadcasting companies employ a large number of freelancers to manage their workforce. According to the 'Status of Irregular Workers and Freelancers in Broadcasting Companies' report published by the Korea Labor and Society Research Institute in 2020, out of 16,676 workers in the domestic broadcasting industry, 6,999 are irregular workers and freelance workers, which is 42% of the total respondents. Accordingly, the party and government began enacting related laws to resolve blind spots in the law. The People's Power Party and the Ministry of Employment and Labor have decided to enact a special law (tentative name 'Oyo Anna Law') that allows punishment for serious workplace harassment even if it occurs only once. In addition, People Power Party lawmaker Kim Jang-gyeom proposed a bill to amend the Labor Standards Act, which would recognize the “worker self-respect” of freelancers such as weather casters and allow them to be subject to workplace harassment regulations, separate from the enactment of a special law. Although it appears that related measures are being prepared one by one, there are still issues that need to be resolved. The most urgent thing is the process of objectively establishing standards for judging bullying (persistence and repetition). In addition, it seems necessary to revise and supplement the legal provisions to ensure that there is no bias in the company's actions when an incident of bullying occurs within the company. I hope that the day will come when all workers can be protected through effective legislation.

In response to rebate regulations across the medical industry, from pharmaceuticals to medical devices, the National Tax Service conducted a tax investigation on 16 pharmaceutical companies that helped evade taxes by providing illegal rebates last year. Controversy arose when it was revealed that the companies under investigation had been paying medical professionals' personal expenses or indirectly providing rebates through sales promotion agencies (CSOs). In this way, 'rebates', contrary to their original purpose of returning excessive amounts to buyers, have recently been abused as a bribe to promote sales. Accordingly, the government has come up with several measures to eradicate rebates. A representative example is the introduction of the ‘double punishment system’ in 2010, which punishes both those who provide illegal rebates and those who receive them. However, as the rebate issue was not easily resolved, the government took out the sword again. The CSO reporting system has been implemented in earnest since October of last year, and starting this year, a system will be implemented to disclose ‘expenditure reports’ containing details of the status of economic benefits provided to medical personnel. As a result, interest in compliance (CP) within the industry, from rebate application targets to investigation response, has increased more than ever. ◆ Linkage of multi-disciplinary groups in medical pharmaceuticals and corporate law… In response to the legal demand for complex pharmaceutical rebate case response, Daeryun Law Firm (Limited) (CEOs Kim Kuk-il and Ko Byeong-jun) has begun strengthening its pharmaceutical rebate response team. Daeryun plans to do its best on rebate-related issues by linking multi-disciplinary groups such as medical pharmaceuticals and corporate legal affairs within the corporation. The pharmaceutical rebate response team, which requires high expertise, includes experts familiar with each field, including pharmacists and fair trade. They were assigned. Advisor Choi Myeong-soon, who worked for about 30 years as deputy director of the National Health Insurance Corporation and head of the Gwangju branch of the Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service; Kye-jun Son, former secretary of the Fair Trade Commission and head of the corporate law group at the 36th Judicial Research and Training Institute; Lee Seo-hyung, head of the Pharmaceutical, Bio and Healthcare Center, who worked as a senior researcher at the Law Research Institute of Seoul National University and a research professor at Ewha Womans University Life and Medical Law Research Institute; Yun-jeong Choi, a lawyer and pharmacist who holds a pharmacist's license and specializes in medical cases. In addition to holding a license, attorney Lee Il-hyung, who has a long experience as an in-house lawyer at the pharmaceutical company Celltrion, is leading the team. ◆ Collaboration with advisors from the HIRA and experts in fair trade law, and legal consulting to strengthen compliance. Advisor Choi Myeong-soon is a veteran in the field of health insurance policy who has played an important role in establishing the national health insurance system, including review and due diligence of health insurance nursing care benefits and policy establishment. In particular, while working at the Pharmaceutical Management Information Center, he established a national pharmaceutical statistical infrastructure and played an important role in the entire process from production to distribution and management. Advisor Choi plans to collaborate with professional lawyers to review legal risks across pharmaceutical rebates. Group leader Gye-jun Son, who has extensive practical experience in responding to rebates, was in charge of the fair trade field, including collusion and unfair trade practices, while serving at the Fair Trade Commission. He has provided advice on rebates as well as CP compliance management in the pharmaceutical industry, utilizing his ability to respond to actual Fair Trade Commission investigations and deliberations. Attorney Seo-hyung Lee, who heads the Pharmaceutical, Bio, and Healthcare Center, is qualified as a pharmacist and patent attorney, and has successfully resolved rebate-related advice and lawsuits. In particular, he is expected to play an important role within the team as he is a person well-versed in the circumstances of the pharmaceutical industry. Attorney Yoon-Jeong Choi, who is active in the medical pharmaceutical group, has extensive knowledge of related laws and procedures and is able to respond quickly to issues in the pharmaceutical industry. Attorney Il-Hyung Lee, a former in-house lawyer at Celltrion, has been working in-house (Celltrion) on interpretation of fair competition regulations, review of clinical research contracts, and in-house training. In particular, he has experience winning a patent lawsuit against a foreign pharmaceutical company, Company P, and is active in various lawsuits in the medical pharmaceutical field. Managing CEO Kook-il Kim said, “During medical tax investigations, an intense investigation is conducted regarding the existence of rebates. For this reason, explanations must be made quickly, but there were many voices calling for expert help in preparing various materials.” He added, “We provide legal consulting to strengthen compliance of pharmaceutical companies and CSOs as well as responding to cases such as tax investigations and criminal proceedings. “We will become a law firm that provides the best legal services, including suggesting corporate direction,” he said. Meanwhile, Daeryun Medical Pharmaceutical Group plans to hold a seminar on March 7 under the theme of ‘Issues and practices of compliance in the pharmaceutical field.’ Applications for seminar participation can be made through the Daeryun website starting on the 26th.

In the first trial, "causing loss to the national budget and misappropriating embezzlement money for personal purposes"... Sentenced to 3 years in prison Appellate trial "There was no additional investigation into the surrender... Considering the fact that some of the damages were repaid" A soldier who embezzled hundreds of millions of won while working in accounting at a military unit had his sentence commuted in the appeals court. According to the legal community on the 26th, the 6-1 Criminal Division of the Seoul High Court was indicted on the 14th on charges of violation of the law on aggravated punishment for specific crimes. At the appellate trial of Mr. A, a soldier in his 40s, the original trial ruling, which sentenced him to three years in prison, was overturned and he was sentenced to one year and six months in prison. Mr. A was accused of embezzling approximately 200 million won 564 times over a period of one year by registering his account in the transportation fee payment system for full-time reservists in 2021. At the time, Mr. A committed this crime by unauthorized access to the administrator account of the unit's fund management system. It was confirmed. The first trial sentenced Mr. A to 3 years in prison. The court said, "Despite the fact that he must perform his official duties with morality and integrity, the nature of the crime is bad in that it caused a loss of the national budget amounting to 200 million won," and "The embezzled money obtained was used for personal purposes and no loss has been recovered to date." Mr. A filed an appeal on the grounds of unfair sentencing. Mr. A surrendered to the military police before the investigation began, but the investigation was not conducted. He claimed that he did not do so. In addition, he appealed for leniency, saying that he had repaid part of the damage through the insured insurance. The appellate court ruled that the sentence of the original trial was heavy and unjust. “Even though the head of the investigation team heard the defendant’s surrender, he sent him back to wait for the attendance request and did not conduct any additional investigation,” the court explained. “This act of the defendant is equivalent to surrender, which is a special mitigating factor in the sentencing guidelines.” It added, “The defendant’s insurance contract “100 million won of the damage was recovered through insurance payment,” he said, adding, “In addition, we took into account the fact that the defendant used most of the embezzled money for living expenses, including raising children, and the fact that he is reflecting on the crime,” and stated the reason for sentencing. Attorney Kim Young-soo of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. “We were able to receive a significant reduction in sentence by emphasizing the fact that the damages were repaid along with the claim that self-reliance was established,” he said.

Installing stakes in the only passage, ‘violation of the right to freedom of passage’ vs. ‘For the purpose of protecting the fence and inducing safe driving’ Suwon District Court Pyeongtaek Branch “Consent to use has a bond effect and there is no hindrance to the passage of people or general vehicles.” There was a case where the court did not accept a request for a provisional injunction to prohibit traffic obstruction filed by a factory owner against a nearby land owner, claiming that a stake installed on the only road leading to the public road made it impossible for vehicles to drive. Suwon District Court Pyeongtaek Branch Civil Division 1 (Presiding Judge Jo Jeong-woong, Chief Judge) It was confirmed that Judges Young-min Jeong and Yun-jin Kim) decided on December 18 last year to dismiss the application for a provisional injunction filed by factory owner A against landowner B. In this lawsuit, Mr. A claimed, “Mr. B is blocking the traffic by putting up stakes on the only road leading to his factory,” and “Mr. He emphasized, “The right to freedom of passage has been violated.” In response, Mr. B countered, saying, “The fence along the road was frequently damaged by vehicles heading to Mr. A’s factory, so to prevent this, we simply installed props to encourage safe driving of vehicles.” In addition, he requested that the claim be dismissed, saying, “If you reduce your speed and adjust your turning radius, you can pass through the passage without any problems.” The Pyeongtaek branch of the Suwon District Court, which heard this case, ruled in Mr. B’s hand. The court accepted. The court ruled that “there may be inconveniences in the passage of vehicles driven by creditors due to the piles installed in the passage,” but that “there is no hindrance to the passage of people or general vehicles.” He then dismissed Mr. A’s claim, saying, “Although we received permission for use from the previous owner, this cannot lead to approval from the current owner, the debtor.” Attorney Park Hyeong-geon of Daeryun Law Firm, who represented Mr. B in this trial, said, “For the prohibition of obstruction of passage to be granted, the creditor’s actions must be taken into account.” He said, “There must be circumstances that show that the debtor’s freedom of passage was violated, such as interfering with the debtor’s daily life.” He also said, “Mr. A passed through the section without any problems even after the piles were installed, so the court appears to have ruled that there were no justifiable circumstances.” Reporter Son Dong-wook (twson@lawleader.co.kr)[View full article] Request for temporary injunction to remove piles that ‘impede vehicle movement’...

Daeryun Law Firm announced on the 25th that it will strengthen social solidarity through public interest activities and carry out litigation relief, regular sponsorship, and volunteer activities. Daeryun Law Firm established the public interest association ‘Relationship Law’ on the 25th and will begin full-scale public interest activities for the underprivileged who are in the blind spot of the law. ‘Relationship Law’ is a name that combines the ‘relationship’ between people and the ‘law’ of a law firm, and contains the meaning of strengthening social solidarity and realizing public value within the fence of the law. Through this, we plan to help vulnerable groups in desperate need of legal support and contribute to creating a fairer and more just society. In particular, former Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo was appointed as the first chairman of the Relationship Law. Chairman Kim is a member of the legal profession who entered public service as a prosecutor at the Incheon District Prosecutors' Office in 1994 and served as Vice Minister of Justice (61st) and Prosecutor General (44th). Daeryun recently obtained approval to establish a non-profit corporation from the Ministry of Justice, and is currently in the process of being designated as a public interest corporation. After the launch of the public interest corporation, Daeryun plans to provide legal counseling and litigation support activities for vulnerable groups such as single-parent families, the elderly living alone, and the disabled. Going beyond simple legal support, we also plan to provide regular sponsorship and volunteer work, and expand sustainable social contribution activities. In addition, we will strengthen educational support for future legal professionals. We plan to contribute to the spread of a culture of public interest in the legal profession by operating mentoring, supporters, and internship programs for law school students and law school students. Previously, Daeryun was selected as the ‘2024 Best Job Creation Company’ by the Credit Guarantee Fund in recognition of its efforts to realize various public interests, such as regular hiring of women with (interrupted) careers, creation of jobs for the disabled, and activation of parental leave. With the establishment of this ‘Relationship Act’, Daeryun will pursue more systematic and continuous public interest activities. It is planned. Kim Kook-il, CEO of Daeryun Management, said, “The role of a truly large law firm is not to limit legal services to business, but to utilize them to create social value.” He added, “Through the establishment of this public interest corporation, we will provide practical help to all those who need the benefits of the law and contribute to the realization of a fair and just society.” Reporter Park Jun-sik (parkjs@wowtv.co.kr)[View full article] Korea Economic Daily TV - Daeryun promotes the establishment of an incorporated association, ‘Kinyeonbeop’… Former Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo as Chairman of the Board (Shortcut) Legal News - Daeryun establishes ‘Inyeonbeop’ as an incorporated association… Former Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo as the first chairman (link) Korea Economic Daily - Kim Oh-soo appointed as the first chairman of Daeryun Law Firm's public interest corporation 'Relationship Law' (Click here) Sejeong Ilbo - Daeryun Law Firm establishes public interest corporation ‘因緣Court’… ‘Former Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo’ appointed as first chairman of the board (link) Aju Economy - [Law Firm Lounge] Daeryun promotes the establishment of a corporation, ‘Kinyeonbeop’… Former Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo as Chairman of the Board (Shortcut) Roishu - Daeryun, pushes for the establishment of an incorporated association, ‘Relationship Law’… Former Prosecutor General Kim Oh-soo as Chairman of the Board (Shortcut) Edaily - Daeryun promotes establishment of public interest corporation...
