C. (1) Upon receipt of the request for a disposition by the Board of Audit and Inspection, the Defendant requested a resolution against the Plaintiff to the Special Post Office Disciplinary Committee of the Regional Office of Communications on February 14, 2012.

(2) The Special Post Office Disciplinary Committee of the Regional Administration(hereinafter referred to as the “Special Post Office Disciplinary Committee”) arbitrarily withdraws the postal and deposit handling fees deposited into the instant deposit account and pays them to the place, and thereby disrupting the accounting quality of the account constitutes grounds for disciplinary action.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 11, Gap evidence 12, Gap evidence 22, Eul evidence 1, Eul evidence 4 and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiff's assertion

(1) The absence of grounds for disciplinary action

우편 · 예금 취급수수료는 별정우체국이 매달 취급한 업무실적의 대가로 지급되는 것으로 우편 · 예금 취급수수료의 사용용도가 별정우체국의 업무수행에 필요한 경비로 제한되어 있지 않고 , 설령 우편 · 예금 취급수수료를 별정우체국의 업무수행에 필요한 경비 명목으로 사용하여야 한다고 하더라도 원고는 장소◆을 통하여 이 사건 수수료 중 일부 금원을 ○●우체국의 업무수행에 필요한 경비로 지출하였으므로 , 이 사건 처 분은 징계사유가 존재하지 않는다 .

(2) Violation of the principle of trust protection.

After the special post office was established and operated from around 1962, the recommended director of the special post office paid to the person to whom the special post office was located the fees for postal and deposit handling under the due consideration for the building and facilities of the special post office. Until there was an audit by the Board of Audit and Inspection, the Defendant did not indicate any act restricting the use of postal and deposit handling fees to use them as expenses necessary for performing the duties of the special post office or using them for purposes other than the duties of the separate post office. Thus, the instant disposition is contrary to the principle of trust protection, contrary to the Plaintiff’s trust who performed the duties in accordance with the existing practices.

(3) improper determination of disciplinary action

이 사건 처분의 징계사유가 인정된다고 하더라도 원고가 ○●우체국의 국장으로 임 용된 이후 ○●우체국의 재정상태가 대폭 개선되었고 , 감사원의 문제제기에 따라 장소 ◆으로부터 이 사건 수수료 중 잔여 금원을 회수하여 이를 직접 관리하고 있으며 , 이 사건 처분으로 급여와 승급에 있어서 상당한 불이익을 받는 등 이 사건 처분은 원고에 게 지나치게 과중하여 징계양정에 관한 재량권을 일탈 , 남용하였다 .

(4) Details of any disposition that is contrary to the investigation results of the investigative agency.

The investigative agency recommended the plaintiff to be appointed as the director general of the post office, and made a disposition to inform the plaintiff that he was suspected of being paid the fee of this case. Article 83(2) of the State Public Officials Act stipulates that a case under investigation by an investigative agency may not be requested for a resolution of disciplinary action or disciplinary procedure, etc., but the defendant believed only the audit results of a member and made the instant disposition that is inconsistent with the investigation results of the investigative agency.

(b) Relevant statutes;

As shown in the attached Form.

C. Judgment on the plaintiff's first argument

chapter 6

(2) Determination

Article 2(1)1 through 3, Article 3 of the Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act provides that special post offices shall be provided with office buildings and other facilities at their own expense and shall be entrusted to the State. Article 2(1)4 of the Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act defines designees as those who are equipped with facilities after being designated by the Minister of Knowledge Economy, Article 8, and Article 9(2) of the former Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act provides that employees shall be deemed public officials when applying the provisions of Articles 2 through 4 of the Act (hereinafter referred to as the "Accounting-Related Act"), which provides that "the provision of Article 6 of the Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act" shall be provided for the provision of Article 1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act, and Article 3 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act shall be provided for the provision of Article 6 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act, which shall be provided for the provision of Article 1 of the former Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act.

Article 16(1) of the Enforcement Rule of the Special Post Offices Act provides that “The basic operating expenses prescribed by Article 13 of the Special Post Offices Act, Article 64(1)2 of the Enforcement Decree of the former Enforcement Decree, or Article 73(1)2 of the Enforcement Decree of the former Enforcement Decree of the Special Post Offices Act explicitly provides the grounds for the payment of basic operating expenses. In the foregoing case, the head of the Tong/Ku related to the profits and losses of government offices and government agencies related to postal insurance, which is the national deposit passbook, and the head of the Tong/Ku related to postal insurance, are established in order to receive the basic operating expenses set for postal services performed by the special post offices and insurance business and deposits businesses, and employees, including the head of the bureau, shall execute the basic operating expenses in accordance with the purposes of use prescribed by relevant statutes and budget.” However, the instant fees fall under the handling fees prescribed by Article 17 of the Enforcement Rule of the Special Post Offices Act, and the head of the headquarters does not explicitly stipulate the kinds of the special post offices’s handling charges and the charges prescribed by Article 17(16).

설령 별정우체국법 시행규칙 제17조가 규정한 업무취급수수료의 사용용도가 별정우 체국의 업무수행에 필요한 경비로 제한되어 있다고 하더라도 앞에서 본 바와 같이 원 고가 장◇◆으로 하여금 이 사건 수수료에서 ○ 우체국의 청사 방수공사 비용 등과 택배차량의 구입비용을 지출하게 하였으나 , 이후 감사원의 문제제기에 따라 이 사건 수수료 중 위 각 비용을 제외한 나머지 금원을 장 으로부터 반환받아 이를 직접 관 리하고 있으므로 , 원고가 장소◆을 통하여 이 사건 수수료에서 위 각 비용을 지출하는 형식을 취하였다고 하더라도 그 지출내역에 비추어 보면 원고는 이 사건 수수료 중 일 부 금원을 ○●우체국의 업무수행과 밀접한 관련이 있는 용도로 지출함으로써 ○●우 체국의 업무수행에 필요한 경비 명목으로 지출하였다고 할 것이다 .
