Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 79Gu539 delivered on March 18, 1980
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal shall be borne by the plaintiff.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the Plaintiff’s attorney are examined.
According to the amnesty law, amnesty is divided into general amnesty and special amnesty (Article 2 of the same Act), while general amnesty is invalidated (Article 5 (1) 1 of the same Act), special amnesty shall be exempted from execution of punishment: Provided, That special amnesty may be invalidated if there are special circumstances (Article 5 (1) 2 of the same Act). Therefore, special amnesty shall be exempted from execution of punishment and it shall be a separate disposition in order to lose the validity of the sentence. Accordingly, as determined by the court below, the judgment of the court below is justified and there is no violation of the provisions of Article 5 (1) 1 of the Attorney-at-Law Act, and thus, it shall not be justified in the misapprehension of legal principles or the provisions of Article 7 of the Act, as the plaintiff did not have the effect of the term of punishment under Article 81 of the Criminal Act or the term of punishment under Article 5 (1) 2 of the Act.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of the appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
