[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 6 (if there are branches number, including provisional lot number; hereinafter the same shall apply), Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 3, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

Between the Plaintiff’s portraits, the Plaintiff provided and sold alcoholic beverages to juveniles. At the time, it was difficult for juveniles at the time to doubt them as minors because they had very matureed in half-class forests. The Plaintiff’s annual sales in the year 201 according to the criteria for calculating penalty surcharges imposed in lieu of the disposition of business suspension, etc. under Article 53 and [Attachment 1] of the Enforcement Decree of the Food Sanitation Act.

398, 288, 664 won was the instant disposition. Of these amounts, the amount equivalent thereto was paid as rent, employee’s salary, taxes, public charges, and tax charges, material costs, etc. and the actual profit was only KRW 26,288,00, and the standards for imposing penalty surcharges are ambiguous and there is no ground for imposing penalty surcharges, and even though they are abstract, the Defendant issued the instant disposition in accordance with the said standards for imposing penalty surcharges. In light of the above, the instant disposition was an unlawful act of deviating from and abusing the Plaintiff’s right of re-determination, as it is excessively harsh to the Plaintiff.

(b) Relevant statutes;

The provisions of the attached Table shall be as specified in the statutes.

C. Determination

The issue of whether a punitive administrative disposition deviates from or abused the scope of discretionary power under the social norms shall be determined by comparing and balancing the degree of infringement on public interest and the disadvantages that an individual may suffer from the disposition by objectively examining the content of the act of violation as the ground for the disposition, the public interest to be achieved by the act of violation, and all the relevant circumstances. In this case, even if the criteria for the punitive administrative disposition are determined in the form of Ministerial Ordinance, it is nothing more than that prescribed within the administrative agency's internal business rules, and it is not effective externally to guarantee citizens or courts. Whether such disposition is legitimate or not shall be determined in accordance with the contents and purport of the relevant Acts and subordinate statutes, not only the above criteria for disposition but also with the above criteria for disposition. Thus, it cannot be said that the pertinent disposition is legitimate merely because the above criteria for disposition conforms to the Constitution or law, or that the punitive administrative disposition in accordance with the above criteria for disposition is not in line with the contents and purport of the relevant Acts and subordinate statutes, and unless there are reasonable grounds to deem it unreasonable, it should not be determined that such disposition has exceeded or abused discretionary power (see Supreme Court Decision 2007.

With respect to this case, the following circumstances revealing the overall purport of oral argument by integrating the following circumstances: (i) the Plaintiff and the employees employed by the Plaintiff are responsible for performing their duty of care, such as confirming age not to provide alcoholic beverages to juveniles; (ii) the Plaintiff, an employee of the instant restaurant, provides alcoholic beverages to juveniles, 00, etc. without undergoing procedures for verifying the status card by means of transmission 00; (iii) the need for public interest to protect juveniles’ health by preventing juveniles from approaching harmful substances, such as alcoholic beverages, etc.; and (iv) there is a need to strictly apply the provisions of the former Food Sanitation Act (amended by Act No. 1690, Mar. 23, 2013; Presidential Decree No. 1854, Jul. 3, 2013; 2005).

According to subparagraph 11 (d) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Food Sanitation Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 2501, Mar. 24, 2013; Presidential Decree No. 20144, Feb. 1, 2011; Presidential Decree No. 2015, Feb. 29, 2011; Presidential Decree No. 2019, Feb. 29, 2011; Presidential Decree No. 2019, Feb. 24, 2011; Presidential Decree No. 2010, Feb. 24, 2011; Presidential Decree No. 20148, Feb. 24, 2011; Presidential Decree No. 20110, Feb. 24, 2011; Presidential Decree No. 20220, Feb. 19, 201).

Therefore, the plaintiff's assertion is without merit.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
