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. ๐
1. Case Overview ๐
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. ๐ค
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. ๐
2. Key Issues and Legal Response โ๏ธ
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. ๐ฑ)
-
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) ๐
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! ๐จ
-
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 ๐ค
What is more important than a mere apology saying "I won't do it again" is to make that promise legally binding. ๐ก๏ธ
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! ๐ช๐ผ
