In the course of the school violence lawsuit, the fact that the lawyer in charge failed to appear at the trial and lost was controversial, and a bill to prevent this was introduced in the National Assembly. According to the National Assembly’s security information system on the 18th, Hong Young-pyo, a member of the Democratic Party, proposed a partial amendment to the Civil Procedure Act and the Attorney-at-Law Act as a representative the day before. The current Civil Procedure Act stipulates that in the event of a double payment (both parties do not appear on the hearing date), the fact is to be notified to ‘both parties’. Here, the party is regarded as the ‘agent’ hired by the client, and it is difficult for the litigation party to confirm if the agent does not appear contrary to the client’s intention. The amendment changed ‘both parties’ to ‘indicate the reason for each party and the litigation agent’. The amendment to the Attorney Act added ‘non-attendance without prior consent’ as a reason for disciplinary action. This is to prevent the lawyer from not appearing in court without the prior consent of the client. This bill was prepared in the wake of a controversial incident in which attorney Kyeong-ae Kwon, who was representing the bereaved families of victims of school violence, failed to appear at the trial three times and lost. this fact <한겨레> As reported in the report, the Korean Bar Association is currently in the process of taking disciplinary actions once morest Attorney Kwon.
