Judgment of the lower court

Seoul District Court Decision 95Na43517 delivered on January 22, 1997

Text

The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below found that the non-party 1 and the non-party 2 were in violation of the contract for lending money and the contract for establishing a security right on the non-party 1 and the non-party 2's behalf for the non-party 1 and the non-party 1 were in violation of the contract. The non-party 1 and the non-party 2 were in violation of the contract for lending money and the contract for establishing a security right on the non-party 2's behalf of the non-party 1 and the non-party 3 were in violation of the contract for lending money and the non-party 1 and the non-party 2 were in violation of the contract for lending money and the non-party 2's request to the non-party 1 and the non-party 1 was in violation of the contract for lending money from the non-party 1 and the non-party 3 were in violation of the contract for lending money to the non-party 1 and the non-party 2 were not in violation of the contract.

If a loan brokerage business is conducted in the form of non-party 1's business, as recognized by the court below, it is reasonable to view that the loan broker serves as an agent of the borrower for the lender when concluding a loan for consumption, and that the borrower acts as an agent of the lender for the lender, and that the agent granted the power to execute the loan for consumption from the lender has the authority to receive the repayment from the borrower as provided for in the loan for consumption, barring any special circumstance, barring any special circumstance, it shall be deemed that the borrower's repayment to the loan broker is valid (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 79Da425, Oct. 30, 1979; 80Da1756, Feb. 24, 1981). If the facts were acknowledged by the court below in this case, the bond broker has the authority to receive the loan from the non-party 2 for the plaintiff, and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the plaintiff's loan against the non-party 1.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and all costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
