Supreme Court Receives Appeal in Chey Tae-won and Roh Soh-yeong Property Division Case after 800 Million Won Filing Fee Paid

The Supreme Court has received the property division case involving SK Group Chairman Chey Tae-won and Art Center Nabi Director Roh Soh-yeong after Chairman Chey appealed the remand ruling on property division and paid approximately 800 million won in court filing fees.

The Supreme Court received the property division case between Chairman Chey and Director Roh on September 14.

Formal assignment to a judicial panel has not yet taken place.

Dissatisfied with the Seoul High Court remand ruling requiring him to pay 944 billion won in cash to Director Roh, Chairman Chey's legal team filed a final appeal on August 14.

Chairman Chey's side subsequently submitted an application to reduce the scope of the appeal, stating that they would not contest 700 billion won of the 944 billion won, but would contest only the remaining 244 billion won.

Chairman Chey's legal representatives stated, "As the dispute has gone on for too long, in a broad-minded effort to narrow the conflict and resolve it swiftly, we accept up to 700 billion won while intending to contest the amount exceeding that on legal grounds."

It was previously analyzed that the court filing fees, a type of litigation receipt fee, would amount to billions of won, but with the contested amount reduced, the filing fee came to approximately 850 million won.

With Chairman Chey's side paying this amount, the case was forwarded to the Supreme Court.

Director Roh's side has not yet submitted a cross-appeal.

A cross-appeal is a system that allows the opposing party to also contest unfavorable parts of the original ruling when one party appeals.

Director Roh's side can file a cross-appeal until the deadline for Chairman Chey's legal team to submit their statement of reasons for appeal (within 20 days after receiving the notice of receipt of litigation records).

Having received the case records, the Supreme Court sent notices of receipt of appeal records to both sides on September 16.

If the notice is not served in person, it will be deemed served on September 23, in which case October 13 will become the deadline for a cross-appeal.
