According to the KHMU on January 23, the Seoul Central District Court decided that the Incheon Saint Mary's Hospital is responsible for the workplace bullying against a registered nurse holding the union local leader post repeatedly intimidated by a group of hospital staffers and the hospital shall pay the victim the compensation for damages including the delayed compensation.

The court also ordered the hospital to post the court decision on the hospital intranet and the monthly magazine, as the society can not condone the workplace bullying by a group of hospital staffers while she was in nursing service, and the hospital organized the illicit bullying targeting a staff or ignored the bullying to happen.
