Charges filed against fire chief at National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art construction site

Tong's lawyers are carefully examining the main legal issues in the case where the site manager was indicted for the fire at the construction site of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, including the applicability of the law of professional negligence, whether there was a violation of the duty of safety management, and the scope of liability and division of responsibility among the construction entities. The defense team is planning a strategy to prove and refute the causal relationship and degree of negligence by securing evidence such as on-site forensic reports, CCTV, and construction plans, and requesting expert appraisals. In addition, the defense strategy for the criminal proceedings includes analyzing the original prosecution data, submitting reasons for denial or reduction of charges, and proving the adequacy of the construction management system, while the defense team is preparing an evidence-oriented response to dispute the scope of damages and liability ratio for civil damages. The team plans to actively conduct practical procedures such as preparing witnesses and responding to investigative agencies.
