The appellate division of the Seoul Central District Court made the ruling in a lawsuit filed by the descendants of the victim, surnamed Jeong, who demanded 200 million won by claiming he was forcibly mobilized to work for the Japanese company's Iwate steel mill from 1940 to 1942.
Earlier, the same court ruled against the plaintiffs, saying their right to claim compensation had expired.
The appellate court, however, reversed the ruling without disclosing specific reasons in court.
