Defending the Respondent in an Affair Lawsuit | Client Sued as the Adulterous Partner Successfully Defends the Case

The plaintiff who filed the affair lawsuit against the client asserted that the plaintiff's wife and the client had been in a romantic relationship.

The plaintiff asserted that the plaintiff's wife and the client had not only exchanged inappropriate text messages and traveled together but had also continued an affair, including sexual relations.

The plaintiff further stated that, because of the respondent in the affair lawsuit, the plaintiff's marriage had broken down and the plaintiff had suffered great emotional distress.

Accordingly, the plaintiff asserted that the client, who had caused the plaintiff emotional harm, should pay at least 30 million won in consolation money.

The client asserted that the client had never engaged in an affair, such as having sexual relations, with the plaintiff's wife.

The client asserted that, although the client had gone on a business trip with the plaintiff's wife as a coworker, the two had never once traveled together for an inappropriate relationship.

The attorney emphasized that there was nothing inappropriate in the messages exchanged between the client and the plaintiff's wife.

While the plaintiff's wife did exchange messages for work purposes, the content showed no affection at all, and it instead confirmed that the plaintiff's wife had one-sidedly developed feelings for the respondent.

In addition, the client typically maintained boundaries when exchanging messages and rarely engaged in personal conversation beyond work.

The attorney emphasized that the client had not traveled with the plaintiff's wife and denied any affair.

The client and the plaintiff's wife had gone on a business trip as coworkers, and each had booked a separate room and attached the lodging receipts to receive travel expenses from their workplace.

The attorney emphasized that the plaintiff suspected a relationship between the client and the plaintiff's wife and informed the respondent's workplace of this, causing the client harm.

At present, the client faces serious harm, as the false information spread by the plaintiff has made the client's working life difficult.

The attorney established that the client had not been in a romantic relationship with the plaintiff's wife and had never engaged in any improper conduct.
