Case Overview
Our client, the defendant, had received a suspended sentence (officially “suspension of execution of sentence”) for indecent assault (officially “indecent act by compulsion”) and assault against the plaintiff during his military service, and the plaintiff brought a claim against him for KRW 30 million in Emotional Distress.
Our Strategy
While it was true that the defendant had committed indecent assault and assault against the plaintiff, we argued logically that KRW 30 million in Emotional Distress was grossly excessive, and ultimately obtained a judgment reducing the award from KRW 30 million to KRW 8 million.
