Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the defendant litigant are examined.
In order to determine where the type of business of a company is corresponding to any of the industrial accident compensation insurance premium rates notified by the Ministry of Labor, it shall be taken into account not only the licensed or registered type of business, but also the actual contents of business and the type of work. If it is recognized that at least two types of business are operated within the same place of business, it shall determine whether to operate the main business in which the proportion of the number of workers, total wages, etc. among them is larger under Article 47 of the Enforcement Decree of the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Act. However, if it is difficult to clearly or clearly distinguish the number of workers and total wages engaged in the two or more categories of businesses above, the main business shall be determined by considering what the main products or services are similar to those of the workplace concerned
The court below held that the publishing business under the Standard Industrial Accident Insurance Table publicly notified by the Ministry of Labor in 1989 and each explanation of printing and main business under the Standard Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Table publicly notified by the Industrial Accident Compensation Insurance Council and the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy is in a relationship between the publishing business that the plaintiff company plans, edits, print, present, and sell publications, etc. within the plaintiff company's business place and the printing and main business that carries out printing and main works on the other party's order in consideration of the organization of the plaintiff company and the type of work, etc., and therefore, the same applies to the number of workers engaged in publishing and printing and main business in light of the organization of the plaintiff company and the type of work, etc., and therefore, the decision that recognized the plaintiff company's main business as publishing business in the purport that the ratio of the sales amount falls under the main product or main service that is much higher than the ratio of the plaintiff company's sales amount is just and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the classification of business types and the recognition of the main business.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
