[Reasons for Recognition] Cleared Facts in the record, the purport of the whole pleading
B. Determination 1) According to Article 173(1) of the Civil Procedure Act, where a party is unable to comply with the peremptory period due to a cause not attributable to him/her, he/she may subsequently complete the procedural acts within two weeks from the date on which such cause ceases to exist. The term “reasons for which the party cannot be held liable” under the said Article refers to the grounds for failure to comply with the period despite having been generally required to perform procedural acts. In cases where documents of lawsuit cannot be served by means of ordinary means during the process of litigation and served by public notice is ordinarily impossible, the first delivery of a copy of the complaint to the case where the lawsuit was served by public notice is different from the case where the lawsuit was first proceeded by public notice, and thus, the party is obligated to investigate the progress of the lawsuit. Thus, if the party fails to comply with the peremptory period due to an investigation of the progress of the lawsuit, it cannot be said that the party is due to any cause not attributable to him/her (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Da4730, Oct. 111, 20).
