【new sram red 2024 release date】South Koreans seek Nippon Steel asset seizure in 'forced labour' case
By Joyce Lee
SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korean plaintiffs in a World War Two forced labour court case against Japan's Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corp
have applied to seize some of Nippon Steel's Korean assets,new sram red 2024 release date their lawyers said on Wednesday.
The application for the asset seizure, if approved by the court, could further strain South Korea's already frosty bilateral relations with Japan over the issue.
Japan denounced a South Korean Supreme Court ruling in October that Nippon Steel should pay 100 million won (70,924.76 pounds) to each of four South Koreans to compensate them for suffering forced labour during the war.
The Japanese government said all wartime reparations were dealt with in a 1965 treaty that had normalised ties between the two neighbours.
The South Korean plaintiffs applied to a district court on Dec. 31 for the seizure of Nippon Steel's shares in a Korea-based joint venture with steelmaker POSCO
.
"We express strong regret for Nippon Steel's careless and inhumane attitude, which has not shown any willingness to carry out the ruling for the plaintiffs, who have fought to remedy the violation of their rights for some 70 years," the lawyers said in a statement.
Nippon Steel owns a 30 percent stake in POSCO-Nippon Steel RHF Joint Venture, known as PNR, and its 2.34 million shares are worth about 11 billion won ($9.83 million), South Korean newspaper Chosun Ilbo reported earlier on Wednesday.
The lawyers did not say how much the plaintiffs sought from the seizure.
A spokeswoman for Daegu District Court confirmed that the application for asset seizure had been submitted.
Repeated calls to Nippon Steel's office went unanswered. Wednesday is a holiday for most businesses in Japan.
Nippon Steel called it "extremely regrettable" at the time of the ruling but said it would review the decision carefully while considering further steps.
POSCO declined to comment.
South Korean plaintiffs that won similar cases in Korea's top court against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd
are also considering applying for seizure of the company's assets, such as patent rights, in the country, South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo reported citing an unnamed representative lawyer.
Mitsubishi Heavy's main number went unanswered, and an automatic voice message said the company’s office was closed until January 7th.
