日本企業債権の取り立て命令　元徴用工訴訟―韓国裁判所

　【ソウル時事】三菱重工業に元徴用工らへの賠償を命じた韓国最高裁の確定判決をめぐり、三菱重工が韓国企業から受け取るべき商品代金の差し押さえと取り立ての命令を、水原地裁安養支部が出したことが分かった。原告側弁護士が１８日、明らかにした。
　原告側は「三菱重工に賠償金支払いと歴史的事実の認定、謝罪を要求しており、このために協議することができる」と説明。「三菱重工が現在のように引き続き判決の履行を拒否する場合、取り立て命令に基づき、債権の取り立てを行う予定だ」と警告した。
　確定判決が出たのは２０１８年１１月。原告側が今月初め、商品代金債権の差し押さえと取り立ての命令を申し立てた。１２日に水原地裁安養支部が命令を出し、１８日に効力が発生した。
　差し押さえた額は約８億５３００万ウォン（約８０００万円）で、賠償金や遅延損害金、執行費用などを含む。（2021/08/18-23:07）

A South Korean district court has issued an order to seize and collect assets of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. of Japan, in connection with the wartime labor issue, a lawyer from the plaintiffs' side has revealed.
   The move followed the finalized ruling by South Korea's Supreme Court in November 2018 that ordered Mitsubishi Heavy to pay compensation to Koreans who worked for the firm during World War II.
   According to the lawyer, the Anyang branch of the Suwon District Court on Aug. 12 issued the court decision ordering the seizure and collection of monetary claims by the Japanese firm against a South Korean company. The court order was put into effect on Wednesday.
   The lawyer said that the latest court order will allow the plaintiffs' side to negotiate with Mitsubishi Heavy to have the firm pay compensation, acknowledge the "historical fact" of wartime labor and make an apology.
   If Mitsubishi Heavy continues to refuse to follow the Supreme Court order, the plaintiffs will collect the claims based on the collection order by the district court, the lawyer warned.
