According to the legal community on September 18, the Supreme Court received the property division case between Chairman Chey and Director Roh on the 14th of this month.

Earlier, Chairman Chey's side filed a final appeal on August 14 against the Seoul High Court's retrial ruling, which ordered him to pay Director Roh 944 billion won in cash. However, they have since submitted a petition to narrow the scope of the appeal, stating that they will dispute only 244 billion won out of the original amount, excluding 700 billion won.

As the amount under dispute decreased, the court fee—an acceptance fee for filing the lawsuit, initially expected to reach several billion won—has been set at around 850 million won.

Meanwhile, it has been reported that Director Roh’s side has not yet submitted an incidental appeal. An incidental appeal is a system whereby, if one party files an appeal, the other party may simultaneously challenge parts of the original judgment that are disadvantageous to them.
