The Defendants’ legal representative, as the interest claim of the Plaintiff bank against the loan, was extinguished by the completion of the short-term extinctive prescription of 3 years under Article 163 subparag. 1 or 766(1) of the Civil Act commencing from December 4, 1973. The Plaintiff’s legal representative’s claim constitutes five-year commercial prescription as a claim for late payment damages arising from the Plaintiff bank’s loan business activities. Since the statute of limitations has been interrupted on December 4, 1973 by the Defendant’s debt approval for 60 years, the statute of limitations period should run. Accordingly, the Defendants’ legal representative’ assertion that the statute of limitations defense against the above Defendant’s legal representative would not have been valid until 60 years have elapsed since the lapse of 7 years. According to the above facts, this case’s legal representative’s claim for late payment of dividends would not be deemed as constituting a tort under Article 163 subparag. 163 of the Civil Act’s statutory prescription period. This case’s legal representative’s claim for late payment of dividends would not be deemed as valid.
The Defendants’ legal representative had already registered the dissolution of December 24, 1974 and notified the creditors of a written public notice and written notice on the newspaper that the Defendant’s company excluded the creditors from the liquidation without filing a report on the transfer of claims, but the Plaintiff bank did not file a report thereon at the present stage of the liquidation. However, even if the completion of the liquidation is registered, the Plaintiff bank’s legal representative is not able to respond to the Plaintiff’s claim because it is at the present stage of the liquidation. However, according to the facts acknowledged above, even if there is a claim or an obligation relationship upon the registration of the completion of the liquidation, the liquidation is not completed (see Supreme Court Decision 67Da2528, Jun. 18, 1968). According to the above facts, it is apparent that the Plaintiff bank had already received a dividend from the auction procedure for the secured real estate provided by the Defendant company in 1973, and thus, the Plaintiff bank’s legal representative cannot be excluded from the liquidation regardless of whether it reported the claim.
The defendants' legal representative, although the plaintiff bank had a separate claim against the defendant company as to the claim of this case, he asserted that the plaintiff acquired a successful bid at a voluntary auction on January 1, 1974 and offered a separate claim for the interest of 20,000,000 won in lieu of the plaintiff's claim for the interest of this case. However, since the testimony of the court below's witness was insufficient to acknowledge this, and there is no other evidence to prove this otherwise, the plaintiff bank rejected this defense or without merit.
Therefore, the defendants are jointly and severally liable to pay the plaintiff the amount of KRW 46,907,090,090, which is the sum of the remaining interest in arrears, in 61,907,090, which remains without payment to the plaintiff. Thus, the plaintiff's claim for this claim shall be accepted with reasonable grounds. Since the original judgment is just in conclusion with the party members, and the appeal by the defendants is unfair, the appeal by the defendants shall be dismissed, and the costs of appeal shall be borne by the defendants as per Disposition.
