– In May of last year, Supreme Court Chief Kim Myung-soo, who was suspicious of making a remark on impeachment to Busan High Court Chief Judge Im Seong-geun, who expressed his appreciation, is in danger of becoming the subject of an investigation.
On the morning of the 4th, the solidarity of action to set up the rule of law of a civic group (legal sophistication) announced that it had accused Chief Justice Kim of defamation and abandonment of duty to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office on the morning of the 4th. If the prosecution filed the complaint and allocated the case to the investigation department, Chief Justice Kim could be subject to investigation.
The Supreme Court said on the 3rd, “Supreme Chief Kim told Judge Im with the intent to concentrate on treatment first and to think about personal problems after watching his health in the future.” I have never done it.” Judge Lim explained that he did not formally submit his resignation.
However, Deputy Chief Judge Lim countered the position of the Supreme Court through a lawyer. Right before the meeting with Supreme Court Chief Kim, he submitted his resignation to the Minister of Court Administration, and the Supreme Court is holding it. Also, Chief Justice Kim said at the time, “I understand submitting a resignation. However, if the resignation is accepted, the National Assembly will not be able to discuss impeachment and may be criticized.”
The Law Se-ryeon saw that the claim that the Deputy Chief Judge Lim did not formally submitted his resignation was a defamation caused by the spread of false facts. In addition, it was interpreted that the refusal of Judge Lim to accept his resignation was abandonment of his duties without good reason.
“The reason that the Democratic Party also did not accept the resignation to make Judge Lim the subject of impeachment because the Democratic Party was promoting the impeachment of the judge was an anti-constitutional violence that offered the judiciary as a sacrifice to a specific political force. Supreme Court Chief Kim, who has become a member of the judiciary and undermines the independence of the judiciary, urged him to resign immediately.”
