The lawyers made it clear that if Mitsubishi does not respond by the end of February, they are going to proceed with the South Korean Supreme Court's ruling... and seize the assets of Mitsubishi's Korea branches.Back in November, South Korea's Supreme Court ordered the company to compensate the Koreans it forced into unpaid labor.
