[Ground of recognition] A without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 5 through 40, 42 through 45, Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 5, and fact-finding with respect to △△△△△△△△ Medical Institute of this court, the result of fact-finding with respect to the head of △△△△△△△ Hospital of this court, and the purport

D. Determination

1) Relevant legal principles

The term “public disease” as stipulated in Article 61(1) of the Public Officials Pension Act refers to a disease caused by the official duty during the performance of the official duty. As such, there is a causal relationship between the occurrence of the disease and the public official duty, and the causal relationship must be proved by the assertion of such causal relationship: Provided, That such causal relationship does not necessarily have to be proved clearly in medical and natural science, and where proximate causal relationship is acknowledged from normative perspective, there should be proof. In a case where a public official dies due to a suicide, the disease is caused or aggravated due to the occurrence of the disease in the line of duty, or the excessive stress in the line of duty is overlapped with the main cause of the disease, and it can be presumed that such disease has resulted in suicide to the extent that the normal recognition ability, ability to choose action, mental suppression ability, or considerable decrease, and that there is a proximate causal relationship between the official duty and the death. In order to recognize such proximate causal relationship, comprehensive consideration should be given to the degree, symptoms of the disease after the suicide, the period of medical treatment, recovery, age, physical and psychological situation 2181.

Meanwhile, suicide is essentially based on free will. Since stress experienced in the course of performing duties, and the depression was not irrelevant to the motive or cause of suicide, there is a proximate causal relation between work and suicide immediately. In light of the age, character and position of a person who committed suicide, the degree and duration of stress caused by work, the physical and mental situation of a person who committed suicide, the surrounding circumstances surrounding the person who committed suicide, the outbreak of depression, the timing of suicide, and other circumstances leading to suicide, and the existence of existing mental illness and family history, there is no proximate causal relation, unless the suicide is considered from an average social point of view to the degree that it is difficult to accept or overcome the suicide, and there is a proximate causal relation between work and a person who committed suicide. In addition, even in the case of suicide, whether there was a proximate causal relation between work, shall be determined based on the health and physical condition of the worker concerned, not on an average person, but on the basis of 14th of the average physical condition of the worker in question (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2014).

2) In the instant case:

Examining the following circumstances recognized by the purport of the above facts and the entire argument in light of the above legal principles, there is no proximate causal relation between the instant work and the deceased’s suicide, and thus, the Plaintiff’s assertion cannot be accepted.

① Until the deceased was appointed on September 1, 2006 and was assigned to the department of this case, he continued to work under the jurisdiction of the Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency ○○ Police Station. Since the deceased was in charge of traffic control for two years from April 10, 2008 to May 17, 2010, it is difficult to view that the placement of the department of this case to the department of this case constitutes a case where the deceased was exposed to rapid change in the working environment or serious business conditions, etc.

② As seen earlier, the deceased’s first case after the assignment of the department of this case handled the death accident. However, witness at the scene of death, viewing of the accident video and hearing of the person involved in the accident are indispensable procedures due to the characteristics of the instant work. A malicious civil petition, etc. is sufficiently incidental to the instant work, as well as the instant work, and it does not appear that there are contents that could give rise to mental shock, such as cruel images, etc., on the ground that it is difficult to view that the instant work itself has characteristics that may cause mental shock.

③ From 2007, the deceased suffered from disguised-related diseases, among symptoms of the deceased, cannot be deemed as a disease only caused by being placed in the department of this case.

④ Although it is recognized that the deceased started to work at the department of this case and frequently experienced overtime work, the deceased did not actually perform the instant work for three months from November 1, 2015 to February 7, 2016, such as childcare leave, leave of absence, etc. In light of the present progress of this case, it is difficult to deem that the deceased promptly handled a large number of cases particularly excessive compared to other members of the department of this case. In July 2015 and August 2015, the overtime work hours are limited to 19 hours and 12 hours, and the excess work hours are more than 37 hours in October 2015, and this is difficult to view that the rest of the work days except a non-number of hours and holidays is 15 days in consideration of the fact that the rest of the work days is 15 days. However, it is difficult to see that the department of this case and the department of this case continued to work.

⑤ 다만, 망인이 이 사건 업무를 수행하면서 상당한 스트레스를 받았음은 원고의 진술 및 망인에 관한 의사들의 소견 등에 비추어 짐작할 수 있고, 여기에 망인의 건강과 신체조건 등을 더하여 보면, 이 사건 업무가 우울증 증상의 한 원인이 되었던 것으로 보이기는 한다. 그러나, 망인은 2016. 11.부터 병가 및 육아휴직 등을 통해 이 사건 업무에서 벗어난 상태였는데, 그때부터 3개월이 지난 2017. 1. 말경에 벽에 머리를 찧는 등 이상행동을 보였고, 2016. 2. 6. 자살 시도를 한 차례 한 뒤 그 다음날 자살하였다. 이처럼 망인이 이상행동을 보이기 시작한 시점은 이미 이 사건 업무로 인한 스트레스로부터 상당 기간 해방된 때였고, 망인은 2016. 1. 29. ○○경찰서 ◇◇지구대로 발령을 받아 복직 후 더 이상 이 사건 업무를 담당하지 않게 된다는 점을 잘 알고 있었을 것이므로, 이 사건 업무를 계속 수행하는 데 따른 중압감으로 인하여 망인이 극단적인 선택을 하였다고 보기도 어렵다.

6) The deceased also stated to the effect that the deceased’s house of the deceased did not listen to the aftermath of the department of this case as well as the aftermath of the deceased’s house, and that the plaintiff’s horse was returned to Korea without hearing the plaintiff’s horse. However, in light of the fact that the deceased visited the Doldong Department immediately before the suicide to receive medical treatment at the time of his visit, and that when he visited the above member on February 5, 2015, the deceased’s visit on February 5, 2015, the prescription drug was drinking and paind, rather than because of stress arising from the work of this case, it appears that the deceased suffered from a disguised-related disease that had been caused before being placed in the department of this case before reaching the end of this case, and that the causes for the future reduction and compromise were more likely to have been caused without a long period of time due to extreme pain.

7) On February 6, 2016, which is the day before the deceased committed suicide while such a scambling is extremely serious, it is difficult to view that the deceased was in a mental disorder state where the deceased had already attempted suicide on one occasion even on the day before the suicide. However, in light of the fact that the deceased did not have a static form but has described the content and cause of the suffering suffered by himself/herself in line with his/her judgment of judgment, and that he/she had a scambia in a state of mental disorder or mental disorder at the time of his/her suicide, a normal perception or ability to choose an act,

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
