Text

All appeals are dismissed.

Reasons

1. The term "act in violation of the duty of "in the course of breach of trust" includes any act in violation of the duty of trust with the principal by failing to perform as a matter of course an act that should not be expected under the provisions of the law, the content of the contract, or the good faith principle, or by doing an act that should not naturally be expected to not be done (see Supreme Court Decision 9Do457, Mar. 14, 200) in light of the content and nature of the business to be handled

In light of the records, Defendant 2 served as the president of Nonindicted Incorporated Foundation 1 from around August 198 to Nonindicted Incorporated Foundation 2. From around 10, 198, Defendant 1 took overall charge of duties of the above school foundation since June 11, 198, and exercised considerable influence on the above school foundation’s board of directors by attending the above school foundation’s board of directors as a director of the above school foundation’s board of directors and making decisions on the total amount of duties of the above school foundation. Nonindicted 2 was born in 1909 and was transferred to the president of the above university from around 1961 to the president of the above university. From around 200, Defendant 1 was presumed to have been entrusted to the president of the above university for a long period of time on the ground that the above university’s former president of the 19th anniversary of 1978 et al., Defendant 2, who was working as the president of the above school foundation, and thus, Defendant 1 was presumed to have been given the same honorary position as the president.

In addition, as long as the provision of activities or exclusive drivers to an honorary Secretary constitutes "an act in violation of the duties", it cannot be justified on the ground that the autonomy of a university is recognized pursuant to Article 31(4) of the Constitution, and the content thereof includes autonomy or autonomy decision-making right in personnel affairs, and autonomy decision-making right in finance, and that there was a resolution of the board of directors of a school foundation with such decision-making right (see the above 99Do457 and the above 89Do1417, Jun. 8, 199).

2. To receive exclusive drivers from a school juristic person or to pay wages to an exclusive driver by a school juristic person constitutes "property interests or damages" as provided for in the crime of occupational breach of trust. Thus, the argument in the grounds of appeal on the contrary cannot be accepted.

3. The term "person who administers another's business" as the subject of the crime of breach of trust refers to a person who is acknowledged to have a fiduciary relationship to handle the business in light of the principle of trust and good faith with another person. It does not necessarily require a third party to have the right of representation concerning the business. The basis for the business in the crime of breach of trust is not limited to any of the statutes, contracts, and customs, but also includes de facto (see the above Decision 99Do457).

According to the records, Defendant 1, as the president of a university, takes overall control of the overall duties of the university as well as exercises considerable influence on the board of directors of the above school juristic person as a director of the above school juristic person. As such, Defendant 1, as a director of the above school juristic person, shall agree with the resolution of the board of directors to attend the board of directors and to commemorate the honorary president. In accordance with the resolution of the above board of directors, Defendant 1, as the president of the university, is the subject of occupational breach of trust

Therefore, we cannot accept the grounds of appeal that Defendant 1 is merely a director of the above school juristic person and cannot be the subject of dealing with the above school juristic person’s property.

4. Therefore, all appeals are dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
