Hello, I am Attorney Yuri Seo. Today, I would like to introduce a successful case in which we obtained 20 million won in damages from a mistress who confessed her infidelity directly to the plaintiff, but then denied it by claiming, 'Didn't we agree not to sue (agreement not to sue)?' π©
1. Case Overview (Shocking Revelation π)
The plaintiff (client) was living a normal family life when she heard about her husband's affair from the defendant's friend, who was her husband's mistress. The defendant, resentful that her husband was trying to break up with her, deliberately waited until the plaintiff was on a family trip and revealed evidence of the affair through her friend.
2. Defendant's Shameless Argument (Plea of Agreement Not to Sue β)
Once the lawsuit began, the defendant changed her attitude.
-
"The plaintiff promised not to sue if I gave her the evidence."
-
"Since we already made an agreement (agreement not to sue), this lawsuit is illegal."
-
"The amount claimed is too high and should be reduced."
3. Attorney Yuri Seo's Key Assistance (Winning Points π)
I responded as follows to prove that the defendant's claims were absurd excuses:
-
Proof of Non-Existence of Agreement Not to Sue: I emphasized that the defendant's revelation was a voluntary act stemming from the defendant's desire for revenge, not from the plaintiff's persuasion.
-
Citation of Supreme Court Precedent: Emphasizing that a significant agreement such as waiving the right to trial must have a clear intention, I argued that the agreement could not be established based solely on the defendant's unilateral pleas for leniency.
-
Emphasis on the Seriousness of the Infidelity: I pointed out the defendant's malicious behavior, such as meeting approximately 8 times a month for about 246 days, and exposing the affair to the husband's company employees, leading to disciplinary action.
4. Court's Judgment (Result π)
The court did not accept the defendant's claim of an agreement not to sue. The court ruled, "The defendant is obligated to compensate the plaintiff for mental damages," and ordered the defendant to pay the plaintiff 20 million won in damages and default interest.
π‘ A Word from the Attorney: There are many cases where a mistress makes false claims such as 'I made an agreement' or 'I was forgiven' to avoid a lawsuit. If you are in an unfair situation, consult with an expert who can dismantle the other party's shameless arguments through thorough legal review. πͺ
