“Currently, a separate deposit application process is underway for the heirs identified through the deposit application for the deceased.”

Earlier this morning, the Jeonju District Court decided not to accept the government’s deposit for the family of the late Park Hae-ok (1930-2022), a victim of forced labor at Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. This is because the government has not submitted related materials such as explanatory materials. The depositee, whom the government requested to the court, is Grandmother Park.

The court changed it to an heir on the grounds that “a deceased person cannot be a depositee,” and recommended amendment, requesting the submission of explanatory materials (family relation certificate, etc.) to support this by the last 4 days. However, despite the court’s recommendation for correction, there was no government document supplementation procedure.

Although the Ministry of Foreign Affairs emphasized that it was formally unacceptable, not legal, it is pointed out that not only did the deposit be requested for the deceased, but the heir was not properly identified, so sufficient legal review was not conducted before proceeding.

Meanwhile, the Foundation for Supporting Victims of Forced Labor in Japan under the Ministry of Public Administration and Security, which is in charge of executing the government’s ‘reimbursement by a third party’, filed an objection to the Gwangju District Court, which rejected the request for deposit of compensation for victims of forced labor the previous day, to object to the disposition of non-acceptance of deposit the previous day. was found to have been submitted.

The deposit that the Gwangju District Court decided not to accept was regarding the surviving victim, Yang Geum-deok, and the Gwangju District Court official in charge of deposit (deposit officer) made it clear that the grandmother Yang submitted documents to the court that “repayment is not allowed” and made it clear that she would refuse the deposit the day before. It has been reported that the decision was made to discontinue.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced the procedure for objecting, saying, “It is difficult to accept in terms of the law.” The depository officer shall decide whether to reverse the non-acceptance within 5 days of receipt of the objection.

On the 3rd, the government started the process of depositing the compensation money that was scheduled to be paid to the four plaintiffs in the lawsuit for compensation for forced labor who did not accept the third-party solution.
