South Korean court orders Mitsubishi to compensate 107-year-old
Seoul: South Korean appeals court has ruled in favour of a 107-year-old South Korean victim of Japan's wartime forced labour in a damages suit filed against Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd., sources said on Saturday. The civil appeals division of the Seoul Central District Court overturned a lower court's ruling handed down in 2022 that rejected Kim Han-soo's suit seeking compensation from the Japanese company on the grounds that the case's statute of limitations had expired. In May, the appeals court ordered Mitsubishi Heavy Industries to pay 100 million won ($73,400) in compensation to Kim in a ruling that came about 80 years after he was conscripted into Japan's wartime forced labour. Despite the court's ruling, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries is not likely to pay the compensation. Kim said he was forced to work in a shipyard run by the Japanese firm in 1944 during Japan's 1910-45 colonial rule of the Korean Peninsula. In previous damages suits related to forced labor, courts largely ruled that the statute of limitations expired in May 2015, three years after the Supreme Court acknowledged the legal right to claim damages by Korean victims of Japan's forced labour for the first time, Yonhap news agency reported. South Korean civil law stipulates that the legal right to claim damages expires three years after the victim discovers the harm and identifies the offender. But the appeals court ruled in favour of Kim, judging that the statute of limitations related to forced labour-related damages suits should be calculated based on a separate 2018 ruling by the Supreme Court, effectively pushing back the expiration of the statute of limitation. Kim's damages suit against Mitsubishi was filed in 2019. In 2018, the Supreme Court ordered Japanese firms to compensate Korean victims of Tokyo's forced labour in a landmark ruling. But Japan has claimed all such reparation issues were settled under a 1965 treaty to normalise bilateral relations.

Chinese Company Cons Parents Out Of Rs 44 Lakh By Staging Fake Kids' Fashion Shows
A Chinese company has been fined 600,000 yuan (approximately Rs 72 lakh) by the government for running fake children's fashion shows and defrauding parents of 367,000 yuan (around Rs 44 lakh). According to the South China Morning Post, the Shanghai-based firm had been falsely promoting a series of fashion shows under the name "Paris Kids Fashion Week" since 2020. The company branded the events part of the globally recognised Paris Fashion Week, and used images of famous tourist spots in France, like The Louvre, on its website to lend credibility to the shows. The firm organised shows in major cities in China, as well as Paris and Toronto, SCMP reported. During one of its fashion weeks in Shanghai, it also promoted four events using the names of luxury brands like Dior, Gucci, Burberry and Fendi, and charged parents 6,000 yuan (approximately Rs 72,500) for a single appearance. It also set up a parent-child event for parents to appear together with their children. The elaborate scam came to light after Gucci's Shanghai office filed a complaint, prompting an investigation by the Shanghai Market Regulatory Bureau in 2023. During the investigation, officials found that the firm used Gucci's logos and knock-off emblems with the words Gucc101 and Gucc100. A member of the company's staff also admitted that the firm charged parents more than 10,000 yuan (around Rs 1.20 lakh) for each costume their children wore in the show. However, not all the clothes were authentic. The report stated that the company's owner, surnamed Huang, bought counterfeit clothes online. He argued that he only bought the fake clothes to take photos, and did not sell them. The authorities said the company's activities constituted trademark infringement. The firm made a total of 367,000 yuan from registration fees, which the investigation identified as improper gains. A procurator in Shanghai said the firm had been fined by market regulatory departments in other parts of China, but it did not correct its business. The bureau fined the company 600,000 yuan, which is approximately Rs 72 lakh.
