D. Determination

1) Comprehensively taking account of the provisions of Articles 13 through 16 of the Insurance Premium Collection Act, Articles 13, 15, 16, 18 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, and Article 12 of the Enforcement Rule of the same Act, the industrial accident insurance premium rate under the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act shall be set according to the ratio of the total industrial accident insurance benefits to the total remuneration for the past three years as of June 30 of each year (the Insurance Premium Collection Act before the amendment by Act No. 8812 of December 27, 2007 shall be September 30 of the same year) separately for each type of business, taking into account the amount required for industrial accident insurance benefits, such as pensions under the Industrial Accident Insurance Act, accident prevention, and expenses needed to promote the welfare of workers, and if three years have not passed since the establishment of the industrial accident insurance premium rate for each type of business, the industrial accident insurance premium rate for each type of business, the industrial accident insurance premium rate of which is 0 percent or less of the industrial accident insurance premium rate for each type of business as determined by Ordinance of 30 months or less.

However, as seen earlier, the Plaintiff was transferred with only property, rights, and property-value facts of the game business sector among the four business sector prior to the division of this case (Article 530-10 of the Commercial Act provides that the company established by division or merger shall succeed to the rights and obligations of the company to be divided under the conditions as prescribed by the agreement of the division or agreement), and it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff comprehensively succeeded to the rights and obligations of the business before the division of this case, such as maintaining the identity of the human organization and physical facilities. As such, before the division of this case, the Plaintiff was subject to the individual business performance rate of the above business before the division of this case by comprehensively taking account of the total business accident rate of the above business type, such as the game business, Internet business, and investment business, and the total business performance rate of the company prior to the division of this case, and the total business performance rate of the company cannot be deemed to have been applied to the Plaintiff, even if the new business operation rate of the company prior to the division of this case was not the same as the total business performance rate of the company before the division of this case.

3) Therefore, on the premise that the Plaintiff’s application for the instant disposition is lawful in calculating the industrial accident insurance premium from 2007 to 2010, and the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit (On the other hand, the instant application is a claim for correction of the industrial accident insurance premium from 2007 to 2010, and thus, the Plaintiff’s claim is a claim for revocation of the Defendant’s rejection of the claim for correction of the industrial accident insurance premium from 2007 to 2010. As for the industrial accident insurance premium paid by the Plaintiff at the time of the instant application, the period for filing the claim for correction has already lapsed (see Article 19(7) of the Insurance Premium Collection Act and Article 26 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act). The Plaintiff’s claim for revocation of the claim for correction of the industrial accident insurance premium in 207 and 208 is without merit in this respect).

3. Conclusion

The plaintiff's claim is dismissed on the ground that it is without merit.
