3. Determination

A. Relevant legal principles 1) The act of donation under Article 112(1) of the Public Official Election Act is a case in which the effect of the donation is provided to a person stipulated in Article 112(1) of the Public Official Election Act, with the intent to look at the effect of the donation to a candidate or a person who intends to be a candidate, and the contributor becomes the donator. However, the person who made the donation is not always limited to the actual contributor of the goods, etc.
