The non-party 3's own examination of other factors that can affect other factors should be premised in order to be considered as the cause of the outbreak or aggravation of corrosion, etc. is due to the traffic air pollution factors.

Ⅱ. Additional Parts

Part 65, Part 7, the following judgments shall be added:

2. Whether the intent or negligence of Defendant Republic of Korea and Seoul Government public officials violates statutes;

In general, when the State or local governments (hereinafter referred to as the “State, etc.”) exercise their authority, it must prevent damage to the people, take into account the safety of the people, and even if a public official belonging to the State, etc. wholly or incidentally causes damage to the people in violation of the official duties prescribed by Acts and subordinate statutes to protect the safety and interests of the people, the State, etc. shall be liable to compensate to the extent that proximate causal relation is recognized if the public official breached his/her duties to protect the safety and interests of the people. However, even if a public official was specifically obligated pursuant to the provisions of the relevant Acts and subordinate statutes, regardless of the interests of the people, if it is aimed at maintaining the internal order of an administrative agency, or if it is aimed at promoting the overall public interest, not directly for the interests of the people, but for the interests of the people, the State, etc. is not liable to compensate for damage to the people in violation of its duties

3. Whether the defendant company's intentional or negligent act was committed

However, there is no evidence to deem that the Defendant Company manufactured and sold a motor vehicle in violation of the regulatory standards of exhaust gas as prescribed by laws and regulations, and even if the cause of air pollution in Seoul was caused by the concentration and concentration of the motor vehicle on the road in high density and mass exhaust gas from the motor vehicle, it is difficult to conclude that the Defendant Company could have predicted the circumstance that the motor vehicle's concentration and concentration in Seoul Special Metropolitan City area deviates from the area controlled by the Defendant Company, and thus, it would be contaminated by the motor vehicle's exhaust gas containing harmful substances in the atmosphere by its manufacturer and sale of the motor vehicle. Furthermore, the Plaintiffs did not have specific assertion that the Defendant Company could avoid the result of air pollution caused by the vehicle's emission in the present level of science and technology. Therefore, it is difficult to see that the Defendant Company committed any unlawful act.
