(6) Compromise in criminal proceedings

  The Law Concerning Measures Accompanying Criminal Proceedings to Protect Crime Victims, etc. has introduced a system of compromise in criminal proceedings on civil suits. This enables the defendant and victim, etc. in a criminal case to jointly request that any agreement reached between them in a civil suit related to the criminal case be included in the protocol for the trial. Any such agreement included in the protocol shall have the same effect as a judicial compromise.
