1. The Beginning of the Case: A Tragedy During a Time That Should Have Been Filled with Happiness 💔
The plaintiff (our client) had been maintaining a common-law marriage with her spouse and building a harmonious family. In particular, she had succeeded in a long-awaited IVF procedure and was pregnant, so her joy was indescribable.
However, her happiness was short-lived. She discovered that her spouse was having an affair with the defendant, whom he had met in an open chat room. The defendant continued the relationship even knowing that the other party was a married man.
2. Our Attorney's Assistance: Neutralizing the Defendant's Shameless Arguments 🛡️
During the litigation process, the defendant attempted to evade responsibility by claiming that "the marital relationship was already broken." In response, our firm strongly countered as follows:
-
Rebuttal of the 'Broken Relationship' Claim: We proved that the plaintiff and her spouse had maintained a harmonious family life until just before the affair, including undergoing IVF treatment together and going on trips.
-
Emphasis on the Maliciousness of the Harmful Conduct: The defendant continued the relationship knowing that the plaintiff was pregnant and even caused the spouse to encourage the plaintiff to have an abortion or commit violence.
-
Pointing out the Lack of Remorse: We actively appealed to the court that the defendant was consistently making excuses and shifting blame to [Husband's Name].
3. The Court's Ruling: Victory for the Plaintiff, Awarding ₩31,000,000 in Damages! 🎉
The court accepted our arguments and issued the following judgment in favor of the plaintiff:
-
Payment of ₩31,000,000 in Damages: The court acknowledged the plaintiff's mental distress caused by the defendant's affair and awarded a substantial amount of damages.
-
Defendant to Bear Litigation Costs: It was also concluded that the defendant would bear all litigation costs.
In Closing ✉️
