Reasons

Each obligee who satisfies the requirements for obligee’s right of revocation is entitled to seek restitution after cancelling the obligor’s property disposal act as its own right. However, in case where a creditor claims revocation and restitution of the same fraudulent act and the judgment became final and conclusive by winning a favorable judgment, and thereby completing restitution of the property or value, the obligee’s claim for revocation and restitution of the original status will no longer benefit in the protection of rights to the extent that it overlaps (see Supreme Court Decisions 9Da6180, Jul. 28, 200; 2003Da19558, Jul. 11, 2003).

In full view of the admitted evidence, the court below ruled that the Korea Credit Guarantee Fund, which held claims for reimbursement of KRW 480,44,976 against the defendant 3 of the first instance trial, filed a lawsuit for cancellation of the creditor's right to the real estate stated in the separate list of Seoul District Court (hereinafter "the real estate of this case"), with the Seoul District Court 2001 71359, and that the sales contract of this case between the defendant 3 of the first instance trial and the defendant was fraudulent act on June 11, 2001, and that the remaining amount was 879,624,000,000 won after the above fraudulent act was 70,000 won, and that the remaining amount of the real estate of this case was 300,700,000 won after the above fraudulent act was 705,000 won and thus, 300,000,000 won (the above final judgment of the Seoul Credit Guarantee Fund's 2037,7037,0037,03030.

Examining the records in light of the above legal principles, the fact-finding and decision of the court below is justified, and there is no error of law by misunderstanding facts against the rules of evidence or by misapprehending the legal principles as to the interest in the protection of rights in a lawsuit seeking revocation of

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.
