Lawsuit to Cancel 'Park Won-soon Sexual Harassment Admission' Postponed to Next Month

[Asia Economy Reporter Baek Kyunghwan] The first trial of the administrative lawsuit filed by the family of the late Park Won-soon, former mayor of Seoul, seeking to cancel the National Human Rights Commission's decision acknowledging Park's sexual harassment, has been postponed to next month.

According to the legal community on the 6th, the Seoul Administrative Court Administrative Division 8 (Chief Judge Lee Jong-hwan) postponed the first hearing of the lawsuit filed by Park's wife, Kang Nan-hee, against the Human Rights Commission to cancel the recommendation decision to the 12th of next month. Kang's legal representative requested the postponement on the 1st, and the original first hearing date was the 7th.

Earlier this year, the Human Rights Commission conducted an ex officio investigation into allegations of sexual harassment by former Mayor Park and stated that "some of the sexual conduct towards the victim is factual and constitutes sexual harassment," delivering recommendations to the Seoul Metropolitan Government. In response, Kang's side filed a lawsuit in April seeking to cancel this decision, arguing that the Human Rights Commission only partially accepted the claims of the female victim.
