"담합 맞지만 과징금 산정엔 문제" 현대제철 불복 소송서 일부승소

Hyundai Steel won a partial appeal challenging Korea's Fair Trade Commission penalty for price-fixing collusion, with courts confirming the cartel violation but finding the fine calculation exceeded the regulator's authority. This ruling is significant as it establishes that procedural accuracy is as important as substantive guilt in antitrust cases. The decision sets a critical precedent for how penalties must be calculated, potentially reshaping enforcement practices across South Korea's antitrust regime.
