2. Determination
A. In a case where precious metals are purchased in accordance with the price purchased by ordinary merchants, and if the seller’s name and address are verified at the time of purchase by demanding presentation of resident registration certificates to grasp the seller’s personal status, it cannot be readily concluded that the seller neglected the duty of care required for his/her business. Thus, the crime of acquisition of stolen property by occupational negligence is not established (see Supreme Court Decision 83Do47, Mar. 22, 1983).
With respect to the instant case, the Ministry of Health and Welfare duly adopted and examined by this Court.
