The prosecutor's appeal is dismissed.
1. The gist of the grounds of appeal was as follows: (a) at the time of each of the instant crimes, the Defendant laid up the access road of the new bridge installed by the victim, which was installed at the time of each of the instant crimes, making it difficult to enter the gate operated by the complainant; and (b) accordingly, the Defendant’s act was likely to interfere with the gate business.
Nevertheless, the judgment of the court below that the proof of the facts charged in this case is not sufficient, and there is an error of law affecting the conclusion of the judgment.
2. Determination
A. The lower court determined that the Defendant’s act could not be deemed to cause interference with the Defendant’s pension business inasmuch as it did not have any obligation to provide general traffic to the land in the part not used as the Defendant used as the above road, even if the Defendant was unable to access an operation pent with a new bridge installed by the complainant by putting a stone on the part not used as the road among the land in Yangju City, which the Defendant managed, insofar as the Defendant did not have any obligation to provide a general traffic to the land in the part not used as the above road, and the complainant’s act could sufficiently have access to the gate building through the existing bridge installed.
B. (1) The “business” subject to the protection of the crime of interference with business under the relevant legal doctrine is an occupation or a continuous business, which is worth protecting from infringement by another person’s unlawful act. Although the business is not necessarily required to be lawful or valid, whether the business is a business worthy of legal protection or not must be determined depending on whether the business is actually peaceful and is the basis of social activity.
