Seoul High Court Decision 2017No1538 Decided November 22, 2017
February 13, 2018
The appeal is dismissed.
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The court below found the Defendant guilty of the facts charged in this case on the ground that the Defendant’s submission of the above property report to the election commission was an act of publishing false facts while recognizing at least the falsity as to his property stated in the property registration report at the time of registering the 20th National Assembly election.
Examining the reasoning of the lower judgment in light of the evidence duly admitted, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine on willful negligence, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.
Therefore, the Defendant’s appeal is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
