1. Case Overview: "We are absolutely not that kind of relationship" ๐
The plaintiff (client) is a wife who has been married to her husband for over 10 years and has raised two children. The husband had been having an inappropriate relationship with the defendant, whom he met at a swimming club, for several months. The plaintiff filed a claim for damages against the defendant, the adulteress.
2. Defendant's Gambit: Calling the Husband as a Witness! ๐ค
The defendant strongly denied the affair and, in a bold strategy, even requested the plaintiff's husband as a witness.
-
Defendant's Argument: "The husband used me to write a false confirmation letter to hide his affair with another woman. His words cannot be trusted!"
-
Absurd Excuse: "It is true that we went to a motel together, but it was only to learn how to wear a swimsuit."
3. The Result is a Reversal: The Defendant is Hoist by Her Own Petard โ ๏ธ
However, contrary to the defendant's expectations, the husband's testimony in court became the key to a decisive victory.
-
Confession in Court: The husband testified from the witness stand that "It is true that I had an affair with the defendant, including sexual relations, for 9 months."
-
Decisive Evidence: The defendant's claim lost its power as it was revealed that she had said to the husband in the past, "How would your wife know that we had a relationship?"
-
Court's Judgment: The court rejected the defendant's defense, stating, "The claim that they went to a motel to learn how to wear a swimsuit is very unusual."
4. Final Verdict: Acknowledgment of KRW 20,000,000 in Alimony ๐
Ultimately, the court acknowledged the defendant's illegal actions and ruled that she should pay the plaintiff KRW 20,000,000 in alimony and default interest. The witness examination, which the defendant confidently requested, became a 'self-destructive' strategy that confirmed the affair.
โจ Key Points from the Attorney
Even in urgent situations where the other party consistently lies and even requests witness examination, you can win if you have a thorough analysis of evidence (recordings, transcripts, etc.) and a strategy to exploit the contradictions in the testimony.
Do you need a solid strategy to respond to the other party's brazen attitude? I will fight by your side until the end! ๐ช
