2. Whether the decision of this case is legitimate

A. The plaintiff (appointed)'s assertion

The Deceased’s physical disability was cut to a high-tension line installed in the coal mine in Japan, where he was subject to compulsory use in the coal mine, and the part of math and head was considerably deteriorated, and caused a great injury to the time immediately before the death. The Deceased was able to receive medical treatment, but his consciousness was recovered due to the post-treatment, but the Deceased was not mobilized at the time of Korean War, which was the main business, and the Deceased did not have been mobilized at the time of Korean War, and he was unable to lead a normal life. Accordingly, the Deceased’s physical disability grade is based on Article 3(1) and [Attachment Table 1] of the Enforcement Decree of the Force Mobilization Investigation Act, and Article 3(1) and [Attachment Table 1] of the Enforcement Decree of the Force Mobilization Investigation Act, and thus, the deceased’s physical disability grade should be determined to be 00 won and 300 won, and thus, the 3000 won and 14th grade of the deceased’s physical disability should be determined as 100 won and 300 won.

B. Relevant statutes

It is as shown in the attached Form.

C. Determination

1) Article 4 subparag. 2 of the Compulsory Mobilization Investigation Act provides that, if a person suffers from an injury due to forced mobilization abroad, consolation money equivalent to the amount determined by Presidential Decree, considering the degree of disability not exceeding 20 million won per victim of the compulsory mobilization overseas, shall be paid to the victim or his/her bereaved family members of the victims of the mobilization overseas. In addition, Article 3(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that the amount of consolation money under Article 4 subparag. 2 of the same Act shall be determined according to the physical disability grade [Attachment Table 1] and the consolation money payment table in [Attachment Table 2] under Article 4 subparag. 2 of the same Act. Article 3(2) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that, if there are two or more parts of the physical disability, the amount of consolation money shall be determined according to [Attachment Table 1], [Attachment 2], and [Attachment Table 3] of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act.

2) Inasmuch as there is no dispute between the parties as to whether the Deceased was forced to be mobilized as a worker in Japan, and having been suffering from a negotisis, it is recognized that there exists a physical disability of Grades XII and XIV in the disability grade as shown in the above [Attachment Table 1]. In addition, if there are at least two parts of the physical disability and the grade of physical disability is Grades XII and XIV, it constitutes a comprehensive evaluation grade 12 in accordance with the above [Attachment Table 3]. Furthermore, it falls under the above recognition of the physical disability grade as well as Grade I, II, III, and VII: (a) persons whose physical disability remains obvious and obvious enough to recognize that there remains a physical disability of Grade III or IV other than those of Grade 1 in the above [Attachment Table 1], and those whose physical disability remains obvious enough to recognize that there remains a physical disability of Grade III or IV (the designated parties) with the exception of those whose physical disability remains of Grade III or IV, and those whose physical disability remains obvious enough to recognize that there remains a obvious physical disability of Grade 3 or 6 (the remaining physical disability of Grade III).

3) If so, it is difficult to deem that the instant decision, which determined the amount of consolation benefits based on the recognition as class 12 of the Deceased’s physical disability as class, was inconsistent with the relevant laws and regulations. Therefore, the instant decision is lawful.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff (Appointed Party)'s claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
