B. Determination

Thus, if causation between the defects in the construction and management of the river of this case and the accident of this case is acknowledged, the defendant Busan Metropolitan City, which is the local government to which the Busan Metropolitan City Mayor belongs, the local government to which the head of the Busan Metropolitan City belongs, is the person in charge of the delegated affairs, shall be liable for each of them pursuant to Article 6(

The term "defect in the construction or management of a public structure" under Article 5 (1) of the State Compensation Act refers to a state in which the public structure fails to have safety ordinarily required in accordance with its purpose of use. It shall be determined on the basis of whether the person in charge of construction and management has fulfilled the duty to take protective measures to the extent generally required by social norms in proportion to the danger of the public structure, comprehensively taking into account all the circumstances, such as the purpose of use of the public structure in question, the status of its installation and its use, etc. (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Da88903, Sept. 25,

In light of the above legal principles, the accident point of this case is about 4-5 meters that can cause death in case a person falls with a river embankment and embankment, and about 20 centimeters in concrete protection wall that can prevent the fall of a cruel mother (less than 20cm in low width), and even if the accident point is not a place where pedestrians usually provide pedestrian walking, the passage of people around the subway station is relatively frequent, and since the sidewalk block installed for pedestrians' passage is used as a parking lot, it is easy for people to access the road, and in case a person falls with a view to maintaining a balance with a driver or a child, it is necessary to fall within the scope of 50cm.

Therefore, the instant river is defective in the installation and management without installing safety fences, etc. to prevent people from falling, and the instant accident occurred due to such defects.
