Text
The Prosecutor’s appeal against Defendant 2 is dismissed, and the prosecution against Defendant 1 is dismissed.
Reasons
1. As to the prosecutor's ground of appeal on Defendant 2
Article 51 (1) 1 of the former Certified Judicial Scriveners Act (amended by Act No. 5180 of Dec. 12, 1996) provides that a person who is not a certified judicial scrivener shall be punished as a business of preparing documents under Article 2 (1) 1 through 3 of the same Act in return for a commission of others in violation of Article 3 of the same Act, and shall be punished as a business of preparing documents under Article 2 (1) 1 through 3 of the same Act. The preparation of documents under the above subparagraphs on commission of others means preparing documents under the above subparagraphs on behalf of others, and remuneration and the preparation of documents under the above subparagraphs shall mean the preparation of documents under the above subparagraphs.
According to the facts and records established by the court below, Defendant 2 received and stored his seal imprint and a certificate of seal imprint from the non-indicted 2, and received compensation at the request of those who intend to request the withdrawal of deposited goods and confirmed that he is the same as the deposited person as the deposited person stated in the deposit certificate or lost his notice of deposit. While the above letter of guarantee was prepared to be submitted to the court, the defendant prepared a certificate to be prepared by himself as the guarantor himself or as the same guarantor, and cannot be said to have been prepared on behalf of the person who intends to withdraw deposited goods. The defendant's remuneration received by the defendant cannot be deemed to be the consideration for the preparation of the letter of guarantee as the consideration for the guarantee of both the defendant and the same guarantor.
The judgment below to the same purport is correct and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles, such as theory of lawsuit.
2. As to Defendant 1
According to the certificate of death and resident registration submitted by a defense counsel, it is clear that the defendant died on June 25, 1996.
3. Accordingly, the Prosecutor’s appeal against Defendant 2 is dismissed, and the prosecution against Defendant 1 is dismissed in accordance with Article 382 and Article 328(1)2 of the Criminal Procedure Act. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
