Seoul High Court Decision 99Na64843 delivered on May 25, 2000

Text

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

Reasons

1. According to the reasoning of the judgment below, when the plaintiff entered into an personal automobile insurance contract (including items of injury caused by an accident) with the defendant on July 9, 1998, the court below agreed to apply "other motor vehicle driver's security special terms and conditions to compensate as stipulated in common terms and conditions by deeming it an insured motor vehicle's liability for damages caused by a large-scale accident or a substitute accident that occurred while the insured was driving another motor vehicle," "other motor vehicle driver's security terms and conditions" are not "other motor vehicle's special terms and conditions". "Other motor vehicle driver's security terms and conditions" do not constitute a motor vehicle maintenance business, parking lot business, oil supply business, and car sales business of the defendant's non-party 3 accident caused by an accident that occurred during the operation of the above motor vehicle (Article 3 (3) of the above special terms and conditions) with the non-party 3 driver's license without compensation for damages caused by an accident that occurred during the operation of the above motor vehicle by the plaintiff's non-party 1 to the above passenger vehicle driver's license of Gangdong No.

2. Article 3(3) of the Special Terms and Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Security (hereinafter “Special Terms and Conditions for Motor Vehicle Operation Security”) excludes “damage caused by an accident caused by an accident in the course of driving a motor vehicle which has been entrusted in the course of operating a motor vehicle, such as a motor vehicle maintenance business, parking lot business, oil supply business, washing business, and motor vehicle sales business, by a registered motor vehicle dealer’s business.” This is because, in the case of operating a motor vehicle entrusted in relation to the business of another registered motor vehicle dealer’s business, the risk of an accident is large compared to the frequency and type of operation of the other motor vehicle, and there is another insurance that

Therefore, in order to apply Article 3 (3) of the above Special Terms and Conditions, the insured shall be the person entrusted with the duties or his assistant, and even if the vehicle handling duties are not the person entrusted with the duties or the main duties of the registered insured, it shall be the case of being entrusted with the duties. Furthermore, since the frequency and type of the vehicle being entrusted with the duties are different from the general cases scheduled in the above Special Terms and Conditions, it shall be required that the risk increases more than what the insurer predicted, and the mere fact that the registered motor vehicle is entrusted with the duties of the motor vehicle handling cannot be said to constitute this.

In light of the records, the fact-finding of the court below is justified and there is no error of law such as violation of the rules of evidence, and as determined by the court below, if the defendant temporarily moved the vehicle of this case to the Sejong Deputy Director, a subsidiary facility of the gas station, at the customer's request while working in an adjacent company to the gas station, and the accident of this case occurs, he moved the vehicle of this case to the future. The damage caused by the accident of this case cannot be deemed to constitute "damage caused by an accident caused by an accident occurring while driving an automobile entrusted for the business of dealing with the motor vehicle" which is not compensated under the above special terms and conditions. Thus, the judgment of the court below is just in its conclusion that the damage caused by the accident of this case does not constitute damage not to compensate under Article 3 (3) of the above special terms and conditions, and it is not erroneous in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the application of the above special terms and conditions.

3. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and all 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.
