In the process of remixing with other contacts, I think the number of confirmed



cases has increased by that amount

There were also prisoners who complained that they had been diagnosed as being confirmed because they had an underlying disease, but they did not receive much protection.

The state took responsibility for the recruits and forcibly locked them up...

Eventually, four Eastern detention center prisoners who were confirmed by Corona 19 filed a lawsuit against the country.



We claimed compensation of 10 million won per person, but the number of participants is expected to increase further as families of other prisoners are also expressing their intention to participate in the lawsuit.



[Yang Hong-seok/Attorney: Dongbu Detention Center is a closed space.

Because the state thoroughly manages it, and the health of the prisoners is the state's responsibility...

.] Since



self-employed people, such as PC cafes and academies, who were subject to business restrictions, have also filed lawsuits, lawsuits against the country for corona damage are spreading to various fields.



The issue of the lawsuit is whether this case is the case with the constitutional provision that the corrective authorities' quarantine measures were best for the case of confirmed detention centers, and the constitutional provisions that the self-employed must pay fair compensation when restricting property rights.



[Attorney Ham In-gyeong/PC room/Academic Director's Litigation Representation: There is a (constitutional) regulation that the compensation regulation must be prepared as a law even if it is restricted.

There is also a part about whether or not (business) was prohibited at all without fairness or these standards, so we filed a lawsuit for national compensation.] The



Ministry of Justice, which is the main department for lawsuits against the state, first concentrates on quarantine and responds to the lawsuit according to the legal rules. He said he would.
