The Daejeon High Court (Korean: 대전고등법원) is a high court in South Korea. Its jurisdiction consists of Chungnam, Daejeon, and Chungbuk.[1]

History

In 2023, the Daejeon High Court ruled in favor of a Japanese temple in a case over a statue that had been stolen from the Japanese temple and was then claimed to be owned by a South Korean temple after the South Korean government seized the statue due to claims that the statue was stolen in the 14th century by Japanese wako pirates.[2][3] In October 2024, the Daeju High Court reduced Jeong Myeong-seok's prison sentence due to errors and faulty application of the law in previous case.[4]
