All appeals by the Defendants are dismissed.
Reasons
1. Summary of grounds for appeal;
A. In light of the fact-misunderstanding and legal principles that there are columns used by the Defendants for warehouses and offices, and that there is a space where the general public is unable to park because the parking line is not opened, the number of parking lots used by the users of the parking lot is not affected by the Defendants’ act, and that there is no damage to the function of the parking lot, the Defendants used the parking lot in violation of the use ratio of the parking lot.
Even though it does not violate the parking law, it is not punishable.
B. The punishment of the lower court (the Defendants: KRW 2 million each of them) is too unreasonable.
