The list of 28 victims is the list of members of the sharing circles who were defrauded by the defendant in all 5 sharing circles, not the total number of members of all 5 sharing circles. Therefore, the plaintiff’s complaint completes the elements of an offense according to Section 6 (1). (2) then

The defendant’s actions in this section are separate from being the ring leader or organizer of the sharing ring, which is an offense under Shared Playing Act It is a scam and falsely claims the rights of other members of the sharing group. They are different offenses with different intentions. Therefore, the defendant’s actions were several different offenses, not a single act, violating many provisions of the law. When the plaintiff has described all the elements of each offense, The plaintiff’s claims do not conflict.

In the case of a civil case

But if Mr. Sharing Band had the intention of opening a sharing band legally from the beginning. But there’s a problem. For example, someone else’s sharer’s child is distorted and refuses to pay. Therefore unable to earn money to pay to the share children that Pia shared. This is only a civil matter.

There are examples of Supreme Court judgments such as 

Supreme Court Judgment No. 2926/2001

Each share payment that the eleven victims and the co-plaintiff sent to the defendant. When anyone bids, they can share. It will fall on that person. The ownership of the money already sent no longer belongs to the eleven victims and the co-plaintiffs, and if the eleven victims and the co-plaintiffs are unable to bid on the share because the share has been abandoned. Whatever the reason The defendant, as the share dealer, must be held liable. This is a civil offense and the defendant is not guilty of embezzlement.

Supreme Court Judgment No. 2444/1989

The offense of fraud is an offense that has consequences separate from the action. That is, it must be the acquisition of property by deception, as follows: The defendant obtained property from the victim by playing share. In which 90 hands were played, there was an auction to share and collect money from the players to bidders for 57 hands. Later, the defendant, the band leader, defaulted. Do not collect money from share players and do not continue with share auctions as per your duties. Therefore, it is a breach of the sharing contract, which is a civil obligation. The defendant’s actions do not amount to fraud.

Supreme Court Judgment No. 3112/2523

The prosecutor is the plaintiff, suing to punish the defendant for the crime of fraud and to return the money the defendant obtained through fraud to the victim. When the facts prove that it is not fraud. But it is about the victim and the defendant voluntarily playing and sharing with each other. Which is a matter of pure civil liability, not a civil case related to a criminal case, as follows: The money that the injured party paid for the share to the defendant. Therefore, it is not property that the injured person lost due to the wrongdoing. The prosecutor has no right to demand such money on behalf of the victim. According to the Criminal Procedure Code, Section 43


 

However, in litigation Many sharers want their money back quickly or definitely. It is popular to sue as a criminal case. Because there are stronger enforcement measures.

But filing a criminal case where the evidence is insufficient It will cause the court to dismiss the case as appears in this case. Then it will cause the sharing party to have to waste time or may have to spend money filing a separate civil lawsuit. and may have to be sued as well.


Today I have taken an example of a case like this as a lesson and an example for fighting the case in the future.

This case is a simple case of facts, not complicated. The story is that Thao Cher was sued by Share’s children for fraud. Because when it was due to pay the child, Thao Cher did not have money to pay.

And the reason for not having money to pay Due to being misled by other sharers who did not pay the same amount. Thao Cher has tried to mediate and ask for installment payments with Luk Cher. But the sharer doesn’t agree. and came to sue as a fraud case.

I consider this case to be a not too complicated case. Therefore, a young lawyer was assigned to the office. Asia lawyer Bunyawee Noisukkha represented and cross-examined witnesses at the preliminary hearing. along with making a statement explaining the facts and legal issues that the court should order that the case has no basis Submit to the court before the deadline

In the end, in this case, the court ruled to dismiss the case. Because it is a civil offense only 

Today I have brought an example of fighting such a case to publish and hope it will be useful to all friends and interested people.
