바카라 가상 머니 사이트

1. Case summary

1) Who did Barun Law represent?

We (specifically, attorneys Jung Young-hun, Shim min-seon, and Cho Yoon-ji) represented the Korean Bar Association ("Defendant 1") in the lawsuit filed by a former 바카라 가상 머니 사이트 of the Korean Bar Association (“Plaintiff”) against Defendant 1 and the current 바카라 가상 머니 사이트 there of (“Defendant 2”).

2) Factual background

Defendant 2 was elected to be the 41^{바카라 가상 머니 사이트} 바카라 가상 머니 사이트 of Defendant 1 in the election held on February 21, 2021 (the “Election”). Plaintiff was the second most voted candidate. Plaintiff filed a suit primarily against Defendant 1 to confirm that the decision of the Election Commission of the Korean Bar Association, which had Defendant 2 as the elected 바카라 가상 머니 사이트, is invalid, and preliminarily against Defendant 1 and Defendant 2 to confirm that Defendant 2 does not have the status of executive (i.e., 바카라 가상 머니 사이트) of the Korean Bar Association.


2. Our argument and role

In relation to the primary cause of claims, Plaintiff asserted that Defendant 2 had violated regulations regarding the election of executives of the Korean Bar Association (the “Regulations”) in the Election. In response to the Plaintiff’s assertions, we explained that Defendant 2 had not violated the Regulations, and even if certain statements allegedly made by Defendant 2 in the past had been likely to constitute a violation of the Regulations, since they were not “seriously illegal” enough to have a “material effect” on the Election and the result thereof, the primary cause of claims made by Plaintiff had no merits in all respects.

In relation to the preliminary cause of claims, Plaintiff asserted that Article 32.4 of the rules of the Korean Bar Association provided, “A person who is subject to disciplinary action pursuant to these rules within the recent five years may not become an executive”, Defendant 2 was subject to disciplinary action taken by the Election Management Commission pursuant to Article 5-2.7 of the Regulations on March 10, 2020, the 5-year period did not lapse, and therefore, Defendant 2 was not qualified for an executive (바카라 가상 머니 사이트) of the Korean Bar Association pursuant to Article 32.4 of the rules of the Korean Bar Association. We argued that disciplinary action provided in Article 32.4 of the rules of the Korean Bar Association did not include disciplinary action taken by the Election Management Commission. If it was assumed that disciplinary action taken under the Regulations was included in disciplinary action provided in Article 32.4 of the rules of the Korean Bar Association, the status of Defendant 2 would not be necessarily denied. Therefore, the preliminary cause of claims made by Plaintiff had no merits.


3. Decision

After a two-year long hearing, the Seoul Central District Court (the 20^th Civil Division) accepted our arguments and rebuttals and dismissed both the primary and the preliminary causes of claims made by Plaintiff against Defendant 1. (The claims made by Plaintiff against Defendant 2 were rejected.)
