original decision

Jeju District Court Decision 73Na7 delivered on September 26, 1973

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.

Reasons

The defendant's grounds of appeal are examined.

According to Article 3 of the Trial of Small Claims Act, the value of the subject-matter of a lawsuit is KRW 100,000, which corresponds to small claims provided for in Article 2 of the Trial of Small Claims Act, and the judgment on whether the law, order, rule or disposition has been violated or not is unreasonable, and the appeal may be filed only when the judgment contrary to the Supreme Court's precedents has been made.

However, the defendant's ground of appeal in this case is not erroneous in the judgment below, but it is alleged that the original judgment violated the rules of evidence and deviates from the scope of free evaluation of evidence. Thus, this cannot be a legitimate ground of appeal under the Trial of Small Claims Act.

Therefore, this appeal is dismissed without merit, 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 on the bench.
