Summary of Judgment

Judgment of the lower court

Seoul District Court Decision 96Na34367 delivered on September 11, 1997

Text

The judgment of the court below is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Seoul District Court Panel Division.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, the court below acknowledged the plaintiff's non-party 1's non-party 1's non-party 2's non-party 1's claim for the above non-party 9's non-party 1's non-party 1's payment of the above non-party 9's non-party 1's payment of the non-party 9's non-party 1's non-party 2's payment of the non-party 9's non-party 1's payment of the non-party 9's payment of the non-party 1's payment of the non-party 9's payment of the non-party 1's payment of the non-party 9's payment of the non-party 1's payment of the non-party 9's payment of the non-party 1's payment of the non-party 1's payment of the non-party 9's payment of the non-party 1's payment of the above non-party 1's payment of the non-party 9's payment.

On the other hand, even if a payment bank made a payment to a person who received the judgment of nullification and retroactively loses its validity after the judgment of nullification was cancelled, it shall be deemed that the payment bank is a quasi-Possessor of the claim at the time when the payment bank made the payment. Thus, the payment bank shall be exempted from liability unless it is malicious or negligent at the time of payment. However, in order for the person who received the judgment of nullification to be not negligent, it shall not be aware of the fact that the person who received the judgment of nullification was actually an unentitled person, but shall not be in violation of the agreement on the time and procedure for payment of the report of accident and the due date for payment. However, Article 76 (1) 3 of the Seoul Exchange of Promissory Notes, which is bound in the records, provides that the payment of the report of accident shall be made "where one month has passed after the judgment of nullification was received, and one month has passed since Article 462 (1) and (2) of the Civil Procedure Act provides that the time limit for objection against the judgment of nullification is only one month from the date when the plaintiff was aware that the judgment of the judgment of nullification.

Therefore, the court below should determine whether the payment bank's negligence or the effect of the above payment by the paying bank is against the defendant, by examining whether the agreement between the paying bank and the defendant that the above agreement extends to the defendant who is the client, and whether the above payment by the paying bank has the effect on the defendant. However, the court below's failure to conduct an incomplete hearing and thereby affected the conclusion of the judgment. There are grounds for appeal pointing this out.

Therefore, without examining the remaining grounds of appeal, the lower judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the lower court. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
