Re-appellant
Seoul Southern District Court Order 201Na6309 dated August 23, 2011
The order of the court below is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Seoul Southern District Court Panel Division.
The grounds of reappeal are examined.
According to the records, the written application for the instant payment order or the written judgment of the court of first instance states that the address of the defendant (Appellant; hereinafter “Appellant”) is “Yecheon-gu 12 Complex 1203 Dong Dong-dong, Incheon-dong (hereinafter address 1 omitted),” and the petition of appeal submitted by the re-appellant (Plaintiff, appellant; hereinafter “Re-Appellant”) also states that the address of the appellee was stated in the above address. The court below served the appellant a duplicate of the petition of appeal and the notice of first date for pleading on July 15, 201, but it was impossible for the court below to serve the appellant as “the addressee’s unknown address.” The presiding judge of the court below ordered the appellant to correct the address of the appellee on July 15, 201, but did not correct the address, and the presiding judge of the court below rejected the petition of appeal of this case on August 23, 2011 on the ground that the Re-Appellant did not correct the address.
However, according to the records, the payment order of this case was served at the court of first instance as "Secheon-gu, Jungcheon-gu, 7 A-18 ( Address 2 omitted)", the working place of the appellee, and the decision of the court of first instance also entered the same place as the place where the appellee was served, and the appellant appointed a legal representative at the court of first instance to raise an objection against the payment order of this case and stated his address as "Secheon-gu, Incheon-dong 1 A-34-12 ( Address 3 omitted)" in the letter of delegation of lawsuit. Thus, the court below should have ordered the above address to be served, which appears in the records, and ordered the correction of address in cases where the service is not carried out at all.
Nevertheless, the lower court’s order dismissing the petition of appeal of this case on the ground that it was erroneous for the lower court to order the correction of address by merely failing to take such measures but merely failing to serve the address indicated in the petition of appeal by identifying the address, and thus, the lower court’s order dismissing the petition of appeal of this case was unlawful.
The ground of reappeal assigning this error is with merit.
Therefore, the order of the court below is reversed, and the case is remanded to the court below for a new trial and determination. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
