Judgment of the lower court

Busan District Court Decision 66Na461 delivered on April 28, 1967

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal shall be borne by the defendant.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal by Defendant ○○○○ is examined.

It is essential for the court below to determine that this case's tort occurred in February 4, 1966. Since Article 3 (5) of the amended State Compensation Act (the promulgation of March 3, 1967) cannot be applied retroactively to the date of the accident, there is no reason to discuss the appeal.

Therefore, it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
