Text

The appeal is dismissed.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

1. As to interference with business:

In relation to the crime of interference with business, the term "business" subject to protection means a business or business that is engaged in or continues to be engaged in an occupation, which is worth protecting from infringement by another person's unlawful act, and the contract or administrative act, which is the basis of the business, is not necessarily lawful.

In this case, even if examining the records, there is no evidence to acknowledge that the unfair pressure of the Minister of Information has been involved, as argued in the deliberation or resolution process for the proposal to appoint and dismiss the president of the Korea Broadcasting System board of directors of the Korea Broadcasting System with respect to the non-indicted clerk, and it does not mean that the above clerk appointed as the president of the said Corporation does not constitute the duties subject to protection of the crime of interference with business.

In addition, the establishment of the crime of interference with business does not require the actual result of interference with business, and it is sufficient that there is a risk of interference with business (see Supreme Court Decision 4293Ma397 delivered on August 3, 1960). Accordingly, according to the evidence presented by the first instance court, it is sufficient to recognize that there is a risk of interference with the business of the defendant, etc. due to a series of collective actions for the attendance time table and retirement of the above clerk's president.

Ultimately, all of the arguments by the court below that are erroneous in misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles on this part are groundless.

2. As to the violation of the Assembly and Demonstration Act

According to the evidence of the first instance court as cited by the court below, the stairs and roads in front of the KBS principal hall, which were pointed out by the theory of lawsuit, shall be deemed as an outdoor assembly or demonstration as provided in Article 2 subparagraph 1 of the Assembly and Demonstration Act, where there is no ceiling or all sides are not closed, and the provisions of Article 6 (1) of the above Act which forces the chief of the competent police station to make a prior report in the event of holding such outdoor demonstration shall not be deemed to be excluded from the application because the time required for the demonstration was short time or the demonstration was carried out peacefully (see Supreme Court Decision 90Do870 delivered on August 14, 1990). The decision of the court below which found the defendant guilty of this part shall not be justified and there is no violation of law as otherwise alleged. The grounds for appeal are without merit.

3. The appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
