The defendant shall be innocent.
Reasons
1. Around May 6, 2003, the summary of the facts charged in the instant case violated the restrictions on the operation of vehicles by road management authorities by loading and operating freight exceeding the gross weight of the freight vehicles owned by the Defendant in excess of the total weight of the freight vehicles owned by the Defendant, on the front of the Seosan branch office of 18km in the Southern Sea Highway.
2. The public prosecutor instituted a public prosecution on the facts charged of this case by applying the provision of Article 86 of the former Road Act (amended by Act No. 4920 of Jan. 5, 1995, and amended by Act No. 7832 of Dec. 30, 2005) that "if an agent, employee or other worker of a corporation commits a violation under Article 83 (1) 2 with respect to the business of the corporation, the corporation shall be fined under the corresponding provision."
However, on October 28, 2010, the Constitutional Court rendered a decision of unconstitutionality as to the above provision of the law (the Constitutional Court Decision 2010Hun-Ga14, 15, 21, 27, 35, 38, 44, 70 (merger) on October 28, 2010). Accordingly, the above provision of the law was retroactively invalidated in accordance with the proviso of Article 47(2) of the Constitutional Court Act.
Thus, the facts charged in this case constitute a case that does not constitute a crime, and thus, the defendant is acquitted under the former part of Article 325 of the Criminal Procedure Act.
