Main Issues

Whether it can be punished as an accomplice for a violation of Article 48 subparagraph 4 or Article 39 of the former Trucking Transport Business Act, which prohibits an owner of a private-use truck from engaging in commercial transport for consideration, or an owner of a private-use truck from engaging in commercial transport (negative)

Summary of Judgment

In case where the owner of a private-use truck engages in the act of transporting cargo with compensation under subparagraph 4 of Article 48 and Article 39 of the former Trucking Transport Business Act (amended by Act No. 6731 of Aug. 26, 2002), and the owner of a private-use truck, the existence of the other party's act of receiving services, such as payment of compensation to the owner of the private-use truck and transportation of cargo, is essential. Therefore, there is a other party's act of receiving services, such as the transportation of cargo by making payment to the owner of the private-use truck. Thus, it is naturally anticipated that the crime of private-use truck owner is established as a matter of course, and unless there is any provision separately punishing the other party's act which is not indispensable for the establishment of the above crime, the other party's act of receiving services by making payment to the owner of the private-use truck and entrusting transportation cannot be punished for the other party's own-use truck's own act of transporting cargo with compensation in relation to the owner of the private-use truck.

The court below's decision that the defendant cannot be punished as an accomplice for a violation of the Trucking Transport Business Act due to an act of private-use trucking transport of the non-indicted as a counter-party to the act of private-use trucking, is justified in light of the records and the above legal principles, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence and any misapprehension of legal principles as to the interpretation of the prohibition of private-use truck owners

In addition, since the defendant is only the other party to the act of private-use trucking transport, it cannot be deemed that the defendant provided a private-use truck for the purpose of transporting cargo for a fee through the non-indicted's user's qualification, the defendant cannot be punished as a joint penal provision under Article 49 of the Act. The decision of the court below to the same purport is justifiable, and there is no illegality in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the interpretation of the joint penal provision under Article 49 of the

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
