In response, NewJeans’ legal team said the recent court ruling is “not related to the ongoing appeal of the original injunction decision”.
“Today’s indirect compulsory enforcement decision is only temporary until a ruling is made on the injunction appeal,” wrote the team.
“If the NewJeans members win the appeal, both the injunction and the indirect compulsory enforcement decision will become null and void. In practice, when an injunction is granted, a corresponding indirect compulsory enforcement order is typically issued as well.”
The next hearing in NewJeans’ legal battle will be held on Jun 5.
