The Korea Workers' Compensation Service (KWCS) demanded the return of medical expenses, claiming it was unjust enrichment, after mistakenly paying them to a worker paralyzed from the waist down due to an industrial accident. Two years later, the KWCS suddenly demanded the return of the medical expenses paid so far. The Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission ruled that the KWCS's decision was unfair.
