'멜론 중도해지 미공지' 카카오 파기환송심, 내달 마무리

The case centers on Melon's concealment of early termination options from consumers for four years, raising fundamental questions about enforcement mechanisms when corporate restructuring occurs. This decision will establish critical precedent for balancing corporate accountability with consumer protection.
