Judgment of the lower court

Daegu High Court Decision 96Na1864 delivered on July 10, 1997

Text

The defendant's appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant and the costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff 1.

Reasons

1. The defendant's grounds of appeal are examined.

A. The court below found facts as stated in its reasoning based on its evidence, and found that the accident of this case occurred due to the accident of this case, which occurred from the negligence in the installation and preservation of the above two swimming pools or general illegal acts, as the possessor of the above two swimming pools, in order to open the two swimming pools installed as the sports swimming pool for the general public for the practice of the general public, by installing a water-saving control device or a counterfeited cutting board at least 1.2 meters in depth, and collecting water, and thus preventing the general public from being exposed to a big shock, but without installing the above facilities, the accident of this case occurred due to the negligence of the above two swimming pools or general illegal acts, and thus, the defendant is liable for all damages suffered by the plaintiffs due to the accident of this case, which occurred from the negligence in the installation and preservation of the above two swimming pools or the negligence in the above safety facilities. In light of the records, the court below's determination and determination are justified, and there is no error in the misapprehension of facts against the rules of evidence, as alleged in the grounds of appeal, and there are no errors in the judgment below.

B. The fact-finding or determination of the ratio of comparative negligence in a tort compensation case is subject to the exclusive authority of a fact-finding court unless it is deemed that it is considerably unreasonable in light of the principle of equity (see Supreme Court Decision 95Da17267, Jul. 25, 1995). In light of the overall circumstances at the time of the instant case acknowledged by the record, it is deemed that the lower court’s assessment of the ratio of negligence by Plaintiff 1 to 60% is considerably unreasonable in light of the principle of equity. Thus, the lower court did not err by misapprehending the legal doctrine of comparative negligence, contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal.

2. We examine Plaintiff 1’s grounds of incidental appeal.

Appellee may make an incidental appeal even after the right to appeal is extinguished, but it is obvious that the plaintiff 1 has filed an incidental appeal 20 days after the date on which the notice of receipt of the record of appeal was served on the defendant (see Supreme Court Decision 92Da46394, Jan. 26, 1993). Thus, the incidental appeal of the above plaintiff 1 is unlawful and it is impossible to correct the defect.

3. Therefore, the defendant's appeal is dismissed, and the appeal by the plaintiff 1 is dismissed, and the costs of appeal and the appeal by the plaintiff 1 are assessed against each losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition with the assent of all participating Justices who reviewed the appeal.
