According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below held that the defendant's act constitutes a justifiable act under Article 20 of the Criminal Act, since the defendant's act constitutes a justifiable act under Article 20 of the Criminal Act, based on records and records, the defendant's act was conducted through legitimate procedures to establish market functions by regulating the display of goods and the height of facilities in accordance with the above management regulations, not merely for the ultimate purpose, but also for the process of establishing the market function by regulating the distribution of goods and the height of facilities, and the means and methods thereof, although the supply of electricity is the basic condition for modern life, it is a legitimate reason as the defendant refused the supply in the position of the power supplier in accordance with the management regulations that are implemented with the consent of the members as an effective means for the operation of the above prosperity. Furthermore, in light of the overall circumstances, since the defendant's act was reasonable to the extent that it can be permitted by social norms as an act with a balance, urgency, and supplement of legal interests, and thus, the defendant's act constitutes a justifiable act under the law.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
