The violation of Article 2 (2) of the Illegal Check Control Act is established when the issuer of a check predicted that the check will not be paid on the date for presentation due to the shortage of deposits and issued a check.

Reasons
We examine the Defendant’s grounds of appeal.
The violation of Article 2 (2) of the Illegal Check Control Act is established when the issuer of a check predicted and issued a check that the check will not be paid on the date of presentation due to the shortage of deposits. Thus, if the check amount resulted in the result that the check was issued and the check was not paid on the date of presentation without any clear measures to secure the deposit amount or the current account for payment prohibition, it shall be deemed a violation of the same Article. In light of the record, even if the Defendant took the measures to secure the payment of the check at the time of the original check, there is no evidence to conclude that the agreement to supplement the check was between the holder and the check within the scope of the obligation, such as the Defendant’s assertion, and there is no lack of evidence to conclude that the agreement to supplement the check was between the holder and the check at the time of the check, and therefore, it cannot be said that the court below committed an offense of violation of Article 2 (2) of the Illegal Check Control Act. The amount of the check amount is excessive. Therefore,
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
