Seoul court approves seizure of Japan firm's funds over wartime labor
https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2024/01/37c7565b0aa8-seoul-court-approves-seizure-of-japan-firms-funds-over-wartime-labor.htmlSouth Korean court has granted a request to seize funds deposited by Japanese shipbuilder Hitachi Zosen Corp., made by a plaintiff who seeks compensation related to a wartime labor lawsuit, a lawyer in the case said Wednesday.
Last month, South Korea's Supreme Court ordered the company to pay the plaintiff 50 million won ($37,400) for damages over forced labor during Japan's 1910-1945 colonial rule, and the plaintiff filed the request with the Seoul Central District Court on Jan. 10 as the firm has not complied.
