Uijeongbu Attorney Recommendation | Business Interference Client Receives a Uijeongbu Attorney Recommendation and Obtains a Minor Fine

The attorney at the Uijeongbu office consulted with the client and was able to examine the circumstances of the client's case in detail.

The client got into a fight with an acquaintance while drinking at a karaoke room.

In the process, the client flipped over a table and threw a wireless microphone and a remote control.

The client also caused a disturbance by shouting and the like, and the karaoke room customers left to avoid the client.

In the end, the victim reported the client, who had interfered with the bar's business, to the police.

The client obstructed the performance of official duties by hurling abuse at the police who responded to the report and biting the back of an officer's hand, among other acts.

In these circumstances, the client could not avoid punishment and came to request the assistance of Daeryun in Uijeongbu.

The client was charged with ‘interference with business’ and ‘obstruction of official duties.’

Obstruction of Official Duties

Obstruction of official duties is committed when a person commits assault or intimidation against a public official engaged in the performance of their duties.

For example, if a person assaults a public official conducting a drunk driving crackdown, or threatens a public official who declines to address their complaint by saying something like ‘watch your back at night,’ obstruction of official duties is committed and the person is punished.

A person who commits obstruction of official duties may be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.

Criminal Act Article 136 (Obstruction of Official Duties)

① A person who commits assault or intimidation against a public official engaged in the performance of their duties shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than five years or a fine not exceeding 10 million won.

② The same punishment as in the preceding paragraph shall apply to a person who commits assault or intimidation against a public official in order to compel the performance or non-performance of an act concerning their duties, or to force them to resign from their position.
