The said permission added a condition of permission that it is impossible to install public structures, such as concrete packaging, in addition to portable containers.

(F) On May 8, 2014, P, a R officer, conducted a field investigation on the public waters of this case, confirmed the fact that a fixed building based on concrete was installed in violation of the conditions of permission for occupation and use of public waters, and the boundary part was illegally reclaimed.

P For this reason, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has removed illegal buildings from J and M at the same place and has removed them;

Sector tried to restore it to its original state.

(G) On May 28, 2014, Te, a S in charge of S, conducted on-site inspections to verify whether the illegal building was removed and the illegal reclamation was restored to its original state, thereby confirming that the illegal reclamation was not restored to its original state, and again talking about M and J to restore its original state.

[Ground of Recognition] Unsatisfy, entry of Gap evidence 4 and 5 (including each number), part of Eul evidence 1, entry of Eul evidence 2 to 12, witness P's testimony and oral argument

The purpose of body

(2) Determination

(A) Permission to occupy and use the public waters of L fishing places as shown in the above recognition and permits to operate a fishing place business;

In light of the Plaintiff’s interest in A, the frequency of telephone communications made by the Plaintiff to the public officials of the strengthening competent authority, the details of their remarks made, the frequency of direct visits made by the strengthened Gun Office, and the details of their remarks made at the time, in particular, to the public officials of the strengthened Gun, etc., the Plaintiff offered a request to the public officials in charge of the occupation and use permit of the L fishing place who used their positions to reduce the charges for occupation and use of public waters to the public officials in charge of the occupation and use permit of the L fishing place they invested by themselves for their own interest or for the benefit of others, it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff forced the public officials in charge of the permits for the fishing place business to grant the permits for the fishing place business in a state where the illegal reclaimed portion of the public waters of this case has not been restored to their original state, and it constitutes grounds for disciplinary action under Article 10(1) (Prohibition of Opening, etc. of Rights), Article 10-2 (Prohibition of Private Use of Positions), Article 56 (Duty of Good Faith, etc.)

(B) In regard to this, the Plaintiff asserts that the statement of a public official of the strengthened military forces consistent with such recognition is false and that the "detailed number of receipt" (No. 47-3) is a false evidence to collect communication confirmation data that the inspector forcibly pressures the strengthened military communications center without going through the requirements and procedures set forth in the Protection of Communications Secrets Act, and that the statement of a public official of the strengthened military forces obtained by the plaintiff cannot be used as evidence.

However, according to the contents of evidence No. 48 and the purport of the whole pleadings, the Board of Audit and Inspection

According to Article 20(4) of the Public Audit Act, the deceased requested the us to submit a record of the internal currency of the office of reinforced military office related to the plaintiff to the us, and the us accepted it by the us and recognized the fact that the us submitted the above 'detailed receipt number', which is the plaintiff's mobile phone number, so the above 'detailed receipt number' cannot be said to be the evidence collected by unlawful means.

Therefore, we cannot accept the plaintiff's above argument.

Next, the Plaintiff’s work pocket book stating the currency content with the Plaintiff (No. 6)

The author argues that P himself/herself is different from the facts on June 25, 2014 recorded in the above business book, and that P does not coincide with the currency details of May 14, 2014, June 11, 2014, and June 13, 201, and that P’s statement prepared is also false, because it does not coincide with the currency details of the strengthening military forces permitted to engage in fishing place business (hereinafter referred to as “attached currency details”).

However, each entry of Nos. 1 and 6, P's testimony and the whole purport of oral argument

In light of the following circumstances known by the Plaintiff, i.e., (i) continued to commit intimidation and solicitation calls to obtain permission for a fishing place business for the L fishing place in which the Plaintiff invested, and (ii) the attached call details submitted by the Defendant only contain the currency records which were attributable to the Plaintiff’s cell phone or office telephone at the Plaintiff’s cell phone or office telephone at the Board of Audit and Inspection, and (iii) it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff did not remain in the above currency records by using another person’s cell phone or using another person’s cell phone or leaving a cell phone directly with the P mobile phone at this date, and (iv) it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff’s phone number 1 and 6.1 of the Plaintiff’s first phone number 20,000,000,000 won and 6.1 of the Plaintiff’s phone number 20,000,000 won and 6.14,000,000,000 won and 6.1,000,000.

Finally, the Plaintiff’s enhancement that inspection investigators V rejected solicitation from the Plaintiff

In light of the fact that the inspection and investigation conducted against the plaintiff for the purpose of retaliationing the plaintiff's character, leading the strengthening military officials to make a statement that the plaintiff was threatened with intimidation and reconvened by the plaintiff, the fact that it is difficult to deem that there existed any portion of illegal reclamation at the time of permits for fishing place business, and the fact that the duties of authorization and permission for public waters are under the jurisdiction of the maritime affairs and fisheries team, not under the jurisdiction of the fishery resources team to which the P belongs, and that there is only a person without authority to issue an order for demolition of the P's illegal structure, and the plaintiff is illegal because it was made orally, and the plaintiff did not make any intimidation or unjust solicitation, and thus, it is difficult to believe that the public officials of the strengthening military administration made a statement by the public officials of the strengthened military authority.

However, the statements in the evidence Nos. 1, 11, 26, the witness P's testimony and the whole pleading

The following circumstances revealed by the land, i.e., ① there is no evidence to acknowledge that the Plaintiff refused the Plaintiff’s request and the Plaintiff started an inspection and investigation. Rather, there was a conflict between the Plaintiff and M in connection with the operation of the L fishing place and the Plaintiff’s unreasonable intervention in the Plaintiff’s permission for the operation of the fishing place in the investigation process of the instant case, and the Defendant started an inspection and investigation into the Plaintiff to verify the facts. ② The contents of the statements by the reinforcement military officials are mutually consistent and specific, and are not inconsistent with the statements by other people, and it is difficult to find special motive or circumstance that the statements by the reinforcement military officials are unfavorable to the Plaintiff. ③ The public officials of the reinforcement military visited the public waters of this case several times, and confirmed the illegal reclamation part of the public waters of this case before obtaining the permission for the occupation and use of the public waters at the time of inspection and investigation, and the Plaintiff’s illegal reclamation cannot be seen to have been unlawful in view of the fact that there was no oral removal order from the Korea Post.

According to the above facts, it is reasonable to view that the Plaintiff was subject to a decision not to impose a fine for negligence by submitting a false written objection and explanatory materials as if he/she inevitably stopped in the course of performing his/her official duties in order to be exempted from the imposition of a fine for negligence due to a violation of the parking and stopping of the Plaintiff’s personal usage on behalf of the Plaintiff’s educational institute, etc. (after that, the Plaintiff is subject to a fine in lieu of a fine for negligence, or the entries of evidence Nos. 24-1, 2, 25, and 26 are not in violation of Article 56 (Duty of Good Faith) of the State Public Officials Act, and this constitutes grounds for disciplinary action under Article 78 (1) 1 and 2 of the State Public Officials Act.

As to this, the Plaintiff is investigated as close as the adviser at the time of the inspection and investigation.

Although it is alleged that the answer as desired and the answer form (No. 1) was affixed without review, the plaintiff's above assertion cannot be accepted as there is no evidence to acknowledge it.

4) Sub-determination

Therefore, the remaining grounds for disciplinary action, excluding the part related to the number of working hours not recognized by the appeals review committee, are all recognized.

C. Regarding the adequacy of a disciplinary decision

1) Relevant legal principles

In a case where a disciplinary measure is taken against a person subject to disciplinary action who is a public official, the disciplinary measure is placed at the discretion of the person having the authority to take the disciplinary measure. However, if the person having the authority to take the disciplinary measure as an exercise of discretionary authority has considerably lost validity under the social norms, it may be deemed unlawful. If a disciplinary measure against a public official has considerably lost validity under the social norms, the disciplinary measure should be determined by taking into account various factors, such as the content and nature of the misconduct causing the disciplinary measure, administrative purpose to be achieved by the disciplinary measure, criteria for the determination of disciplinary action, etc., and it should be determined that the contents of the disciplinary measure can be objectively and objectively deemed unreasonable (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 97Nu14637, Nov. 25, 1997).

2) In the instant case:

In full view of the following circumstances, the facts acknowledged earlier and the purport of the evidence No. 20 as well as the entire pleadings as to the instant case, even if most favorable circumstances asserted by the Plaintiff were to be considered, it is difficult to view the instant disciplinary action as deviating from or abusing the discretion, as it considerably lacks validity under the social norms, even if it is considered to the maximum

① The Plaintiff is an auditor in charge of the inspection, etc. of duties of public officials and requires compliance spirit, fairness, and sincerity much higher than that of other public officials due to the nature of the duties.

② Nevertheless, the Plaintiff continued to exercise unfair pressure, such as meeting and intimidation, against relevant public officials upon the request of the Doz. so that administrative disposition may be withdrawn from the Doz., and during this process, the Plaintiff was absent from the Doz. Moreover, the Plaintiff submitted a false objection and explanatory materials as if she were forced to violate the parking and stopping regulations in order to reduce the fines for negligence without any prior reporting. In addition, the Plaintiff’s act of misconduct is very serious in light of the motive, content, status, etc. of the Plaintiff’s act of misconduct, and the Plaintiff’s quality as an auditor is extremely doubtful. Therefore, it is highly necessary to establish a public office discipline and to recover the public trust of audit officials.

③ Only the grounds for the first disciplinary action fall under the case of violation of Articles 10(1) and 11(1) of the Code of Conduct for Public Officials of the Board of Audit and Inspection and the case of serious misconduct. According to Article 3(3) [Attachment 1] of the Guidelines for Handling Violations, etc. by Public Officials of the Board of Audit and Inspection, in such a case, the pertinent public officials shall be subject to suspension from office or disciplinary action heavier than reprimand but may be aggravated and mitigated depending on the seriousness of the case. Thus, the instant disciplinary action against the Plaintiff’s dismissal meets the above guidelines for

④ 원고는 감찰조사 당시부터 비위사실 대부분을 일관하여 부인하고 있는데다가 이 사건 소송 계속 중 원고에 대한 감찰조사를 지휘했던 특별감찰팀장에게 '당신들, 두다리 쭈우욱 펴고 잘들 자고 있겠지, 조금만 기다려, 내 지금까지 왜 인내하며 실체적 진실을 모두 안 밝히고 여기까지 왔는지 가르쳐 줄게, 감사마인드도 철학도 없는 용서할 수 없는 인간들!'이라는 내용의 문자메시지를 보내는 등 자신의 잘못을 반성하고 있지 않은 것으로 보인다.

⑤ Furthermore, around 2006, the Plaintiff was subject to a disposition of reprimand on the grounds that the Plaintiff was indicted for a summary charge of fraud and a violation of the Road Traffic Act, and thus violated his duty to maintain dignity.

D. Sub-committee

Therefore, the instant disciplinary action is lawful and the Plaintiff’s assertion disputing it is without merit.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
