SK receives Fair Trade Commission decision on 'Siltron case'... Likely to file appeal lawsuit

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Hyun-seok] It has been confirmed that SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and SK recently received the plenary meeting resolution document from the Fair Trade Commission regarding the 'SK Siltron Private Interest Abuse Suspicion' case.

According to the business community on the 5th, after receiving the official copy of the resolution, SK is reportedly analyzing the Fair Trade Commission's sanction rationale stated in the resolution through its in-house legal team and reviewing response measures. An SK official said, "We are examining possible options."

Upon receiving the official sanction resolution from the Fair Trade Commission, an objection or administrative lawsuit must be filed within 30 days. Since the plenary meeting resolution has the same effect as a first-instance judgment, if an administrative lawsuit is filed, it must be submitted to the Seoul High Court as a 'lawsuit for cancellation of surcharge and order.'

The business community expects that SK is highly likely to file a lawsuit immediately. SK had expressed regret over the Fair Trade Commission's decision to sanction Chairman Chey and SK announced on December 22 last year, stating, "We plan to carefully review the detailed contents of the resolution and take necessary measures."
