According to the Chosun Ilbo on the 29th, Judge Shin Sung-wook of the 4th Civil Division of the Seoul Eastern District Court ruled against the plaintiff in a lawsuit filed by A against Park Tae-hwan on the 26th.
In November 2021, Park took a tee shot at a golf course in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, which, contrary to his intention, was sliced to the right and hit the upper part of the left eye of the person in the next hole. Even after the treatment, he complained of a decrease in vision and narrowing his vision.
A sued Park Tae-hwan for negligent injury, and the prosecution cleared him of charges, saying, “It is not unusual for slices to occur in amateur games.”
He also filed a civil suit in April last year. “Park hit the ball at the direction of his caddie’s instruction without realizing the possibility that there was someone else in the direction of his strike,” Judge Shin Seong-wook said. “When a slice ball hits a ball that is common among amateur golfers, it is up to the golf course management company and the caddie to keep the ball from falling to the other hole.” 토토사이트
However, Judge Shin Sung-wook criticized Park’s inappropriate behavior in his ruling. “Park deserves moral condemnation for concealing his personal information and suggesting that his partner who played golf together as the person who caused the accident,” Shin said. However, he said that this was the situation after the accident and that it had nothing to do with the liability.
