This civil lawsuit involved a dispute between a collector and an embroidery artist. I represented the plaintiff, who purchased about 200 embroidery works from the defendant between the 1990s and 2013, paying 7,005,000,000 KRW.
The plaintiff later discovered that some works were produced in China or Vietnam, not handcrafted by the artist. A damages claim of 1.76 billion KRW was filed, and the case was ultimately settled through mediation.
