Whether it violates Article 13(1) of the Constitution to protect a person under protective custody pursuant to Article 5(1)1 of the former Social Protection Act (amended by Act No. 4089, Mar. 25, 1989) is subject to protective custody pursuant to Article 5(3)1 of the Constitutional Court Act (negative)

Summary of Judgment

A. According to Article 5(1)1 of the former Social Protection Act (amended by Act No. 4089 of Mar. 25, 1989), a person against whom a judgment of being placed in a protective custody for 10 years pursuant to Article 5(1)1 of the same Act was finalized shall be deemed to claim protective custody pursuant to Article 47(3) of the Constitutional Court Act in a new trial procedure for the said final judgment, and the prosecutor’s claim for protective custody pursuant to Article 5 subparag. 1 and 2 of the same Act shall not be deemed to violate Article 13(1) of the Constitution.

Judgment of the lower court

Seoul High Court Decision 91No52 delivered on May 2, 1991

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

95 days out of the number of days of detention after appeal shall be included in the period of confinement in protective custody facilities.

Reasons

1. Determination on the ground of appeal No. 1 by the requester for custody

According to the records, the applicant for protective custody was sentenced to two years of imprisonment for a violation of the Act on the Aggravated Punishment, etc. of Specific Crimes (thief) and the ten-year protective custody under Article 5(1)1 of the former Social Protection Act (amended by Act No. 4089 of Mar. 25, 1989). As the applicant for protective custody was decided on Aug. 23, 198 pursuant to Article 47(3) of the Constitutional Court Act, the first instance court decided the commencement of review of protective custody case and decided again pursuant to Article 47(3) of the same Act, and the first instance court changed the application for protective custody to request protective custody under subparagraphs 1 and 2 of Article 5 of the amended Social Protection Act, and the first instance court did not err in the misapprehension of the legal principles on protective custody under Article 5 subparag. 1 of the same Act, or in the abolition of Article 13(2)9 of the amended Social Protection Act.

In the end, all arguments are not acceptable.

2. Determination of the grounds of appeal No. 2 by the requester for the warranting detention and the grounds of appeal by the public defender

If the evidence of the first instance court affirmed by the court below is examined by comparing it with records, the court below's decision that recognized the risk of re-offending as a person eligible for protection does not constitute an error of law by misunderstanding the legal principles on the risk of re-offending or the Social Protection Act, such as the theory of lawsuit,

3. Therefore, the appeal by the requester for detention is dismissed, and part of the number of days of detention after the appeal is included in the period of confinement in the protective custody facility is delivered with the assent of all participating Justices.
