In a case where the consigned sellers under consignment sales agreements with a global sportswear company claimed for payment of retirement allowances on the basis of their alleged employee status, Jipyong successfully defended the company on the grounds such as that (1) the shop owner operated its business independently from the company, and (2) the company never checked attendance of the shop owners.
The court applied more strict criteria with respect to the liabilities of officers/employees in connection with embezzlement at financial institutions, and this case is expected to serve as an important precedent in the future.
