바카라게임방법

1. 바카라게임방법 summary

ㅇ The main issue in this 바카라게임방법 was whether or not one of top 3 supermarkets in Korea had violated the Large Retail Business Act in relation to transactions with a pork supplier. The Korean Fair Trade Commission (the “KFTC”) imposed a fine of 41.1 billion won on the supermarket, which is the highest surcharge in cases involved with the Large Retail Business Act, and gave 100 million won to the supplier, which was the then largest amount of publicly notified reward.

ㅇ The large supermarket filed a lawsuit for the cancellation of the KFTC’s sanction. Our Fair Trade Team represented the supplier to assist the KFTC in winning the 바카라게임방법.

2.Our role

ㅇ The supermarket made the following assertions in this 바카라게임방법:
    ① Since regular discount events are not promotion events that require temporary and special characteristics, it cannot be considered that the supermarket passed on promotion cost;
   ② Since the supplier's branded pork (“differentiated pork”) had a special difference from the PB products, the supplier hired an employee for cutting work only to do its own work and the supermarket did not pass on the labor cost to the supplier; and
   ③ Even though the supplier paid fees to the consulting firm, since the contract executed between the supermarket and the consulting firm was for the supplier, it cannot be said that the supermarket passed on the fees to the supplier.

ㅇ In response to the assertions above, we collected past media reports to prove that competition for promotion of pork products (especially pork belly products) among supermarkets was fierce, and thus the pork discount events were a sales promotion event aimed at attracting customers.
   - We also visited the supermarket and took photos to submit them as evidence proving that there was no big difference between PB pork and differentiated pork in the process of promotion and sales, and thus, the supermarket’s use of an employee of the supplier for cutting work was to pass on labor cost to be paid by the supermarket to the supplier.
  - In addition, in light of the long-term relationship between the supermarket and the consulting firm and the consulting firm’s service confined to PB products sold by the supermarket, we proved that the supermarket had passed on fees for the consulting firm to the supplier who had paid the fees to the consulting firm on behalf of the supermarket.


3. Decision and implications

ㅇ The Seoul High Court accepted our arguments and evidence, and dismissed all the claims made by the supermarket in the decision (numbered 2020Nu35716) made on July 22, 2021.

ㅇ This 바카라게임방법 is expected to set a precedent in the future in that it is a 바카라게임방법 in which the court has made a decision on a matter that is not specifically stipulated in laws and regulations in relation to major issues under the Large Retail Business Act.
