Text

The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

On the first ground for appeal

Based on its adopted evidence, the court below held that the court below held on June 1987, when the non-party company Egypt Co., Ltd (hereinafter the non-party company) constructed the instant marina building in 1985 and directly occupied and used the non-party Kim Ho-ho as the head of the management office and was managing the building, the non-party Kim Ho-ho was the owner of the above building in the building and the lessee as the representatives of each floor (hereinafter the preparatory committee) and the tenant appointed the chairman of the autonomous management preparation committee to elect the above Kim Ho-ho as the head of the management office and the tenant appointed the above Kim Ho-ho as the head of the management office. However, although the preparatory committee received the right to manage the building from the non-party company and continued to manage the building in accordance with the direction of the representative director of the non-party company, the non-party company's non-party company's non-party company's non-party company's construction and continued to manage the building in accordance with the above autonomous management committee's 198th of December 19, 198988.

In light of relevant evidence and records, all of the above recognition and judgment of the court below are acceptable, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence, such as theory of lawsuit, etc.

In addition, even though the management body of an aggregate building under Article 23 (1) of the Multi-Unit Residential Building Act does not perform any act of organization, it is clear that even if the management body does not do so, all sectional owners are members of sectional owners, it cannot be deemed that the management body actually manages the building without actual organization. Further, the purport of the fact-finding and decision by the court below is that since the Preparatory Committee was equipped with an organization for self-management before the beginning of the management of the defendant around January 1989, since the Preparatory Committee was the main body of the building and the claims arising during the management of the building do not belong to the Preparatory Committee as to the non-party company. Thus, even if the Preparatory Committee was a non-party organization that is recognized as identical with the defendant after the establishment of the Preparatory Committee, it cannot be deemed that the defendant bears obligations for the above period of time or acquires the aggregate property for the above period of time, the decision of the court below is justified in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the aggregate building or the aggregate property management.

On the second ground for appeal

The court below rejected the plaintiff's assertion on the debt of the non-party company borrowed for the management expenses of the above building before the defendant's autonomous management was performed on the ground that the defendant did not have an obligation to take over the debt of the non-party company and did not have any evidence to consider that it was comprehensively taken over the debt, barring any special circumstance. The above decision of the court below is just and there is no violation of the rules of evidence such as theory of lawsuit, management of aggregate buildings, or misunderstanding of the legal principles on the nature of the non-corporate group.

On the third ground for appeal

Although examining the reasoning of the judgment below in light of the records, the court below's rejection of the plaintiff's assertion that the defendant lent the amount of money claimed after the defendant commenced self-management to the defendant, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence such as the theory of lawsuit. All arguments are without merit.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
