Judgment of the lower court
Seoul Criminal Court Decision 90No3452 delivered on November 1, 1990
Text
All appeals are dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the defense counsel are examined.
Article 55 Subparag. 5 of the Building Act provides that an act of constructing a structure, etc. without permission under Article 49 of the same Act shall be punished. Article 49 of the same Act and Article 100 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provides that the provisions of Articles 54 through 57 of the same Act shall apply mutatis mutandis to an advertising tower with a height exceeding 4 meters. Meanwhile, Article 4 of the Advertisements Management Act provides that where it is necessary to maintain public morals and to prevent harm to the public, the form, size, size, color, contents, display of advertisements, or installation of bulletin facilities shall be prohibited or restricted, but this is different from the purpose of regulation or regulation under the above Building Act, which regulates the installation of an advertising tower as a structure beyond a certain size for public purposes, once it is installed without permission, it shall be punished by the Building Act regardless of whether it falls under Article 4 of the same Act, and thus, Article 54 through 57 of the Building Act shall be applied only to the above advertisements without permission (Article 55 of the Building Act).
Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
