Compulsory Conciliation
In****
We are pleased to share a successful case where we represented a client who experienced a devastating betrayal and successfully enforced the compulsory execution of a penalty clause of KRW 35 million that had been previously agreed upon. 😊
1. Case Overview 🔍
The plaintiff (client) had previously learned of their spouse's infidelity but, in order to preserve the family, had forgiven them once through conciliation that included a penalty clause stating that a certain amount would be paid if infidelity occurred again. 🤝
However, the spouse broke that promise and continued to engage in inappropriate relationships, even attempting to conceal them. As a result, the plaintiff filed a lawsuit for the grant of an execution clause to receive the promised penalty. 💔
2. Key Issues and Legal Response ⚖️
The defendant attempted to avoid paying the penalty by making various excuses. We responded with the following key evidence and legal principles:
-
Presentation of Clear Evidence: We proved that the defendant broke the promise and committed infidelity again through KakaoTalk conversations. (The conversations contained expressions of affection and inappropriate plans that were difficult to put into words. 📱)
-
Emphasis on the Effect of the Conciliation Statement: We asserted that the penalty clause confirmed through judicial settlement (conciliation) in the past has strong legal effect.
-
Justification for Compulsory Execution: We logically argued that the execution clause for the promised KRW 35 million must be granted because the defendant's violation occurred.
3. Judgment: Plaintiff Wins (Decision in Lieu of Conciliation) 🎉
The court fully accepted our arguments and made the following decision:
-
Grant of Execution Clause: An execution clause is granted to the plaintiff for the compulsory execution of KRW 35 million against the defendant! 🔨
-
Confirmation of the Weight of the Promise: We held the defendant strictly accountable for breaking the promise to prevent the recurrence of infidelity.

4. Conclusion 🤝
What is more important than a mere apology saying "I won't do it again" is to make that promise legally binding. 🛡️
If the other party breaks the promise and continues to act shamelessly, you must regain your legitimate rights with a legal expert. We deeply empathize with the suffering client and will repay you with practical solutions! 💪💼
