3. The total costs of the lawsuit shall be borne by the Defendants.

1. Basic facts
A. The Defendants had lived before marriage and reported marriage on October 5, 2009.
B. As shown in the attached Form 1, an insurance policy (Evidence 1) regarding an insurance company’s insurance contract with the Plaintiff, the insured, the policyholders, and the beneficiary, Defendant 2, and the insurance period from December 31, 2008 to December 31, 208, whose major coverage is expenses for hospitalization for injury, hospitalization for disease, etc. (hereinafter “instant insurance contract”) is written.
C. On February 22, 2013, Defendant 1, based on the instant insurance contract, filed a claim with the Plaintiff for the payment of insurance proceeds, such as the amount of injury, daily allowance for hospitalization, and amount of hospitalization daily allowances for disease, on the ground that Defendant 1 suffered injury, such as salt, tension, etc. of the outer side side of the same month after having been hospitalized for 15 days from the 7th to the 21st day of the same month.
[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence 1, 3, Eul evidence 6, the purport of the whole pleadings
2. The parties' assertion
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The instant insurance contract was concluded with Defendant 2 for the purpose of acquiring large amount of insurance proceeds by pretending an insured incident or receiving a long-term treatment in excess of its degree after concluding multiple insurance contracts with multiple insurance companies including the Plaintiff. As such, it is null and void as a juristic act contrary to good morals and social order under Article 103 of the Civil Act.
Even if not, at the time of entering into the instant insurance contract, Defendant 1 did not notify important matters in entering into the instant insurance contract by falsely stating the fact about his occupation, whether to subscribe to duplicate insurance, and recent medical treatment and surgery records. This constitutes grounds for cancellation of the instant insurance contract under the latter part of Article 27 of the terms and conditions of the instant insurance contract or Article 110 of the Civil Act. Thus, the Plaintiff’s insurance contract is revoked by serving a duplicate of the
Therefore, there is no validity of the instant insurance contract between the Plaintiff and Defendant 2, and the Plaintiff is not obligated to pay the insurance money based on the instant insurance contract to Defendant 1.
B. The defendants' assertion
Since the parties to the instant insurance contract are not Defendant 1 and Defendant 2, the Plaintiff’s claim for confirmation of invalidity of the instant insurance contract is without merit.
In addition, the insurance contract of this case cannot be deemed null and void in light of the fact that there is no involvement in the external circumstances, such as provisional attachment or clinical auction before the conclusion of the insurance contract of this case, the extent of the insurance contract cannot be deemed excessive in light of the frequency and period of the insurance contract concluded by the Defendants, and that there is no record of criminal punishment as litigation fraud, and the interval between the date of conclusion of the contract and the date of the first accident. Four insurance contracts, which had been subscribed before 2007, were joined in the special power headquarters (hereinafter “special power headquarters”), against the risks of occupational injury of Defendant 1. Two insurance contracts, which had been subscribed around November 201, for the performance of the above Defendant 2, which had been an insurance solicitor at the time, were subscribed at Nonparty 1’s recommendation. The two insurance contracts, an insurance solicitor, and the remaining six insurance contracts, as well as the details of hospitalized treatment, were properly treated as a result of the occurrence of injury or disease during the normal living process. The insurance contract of this case was insufficient at the time of the insurance contract of this case.
In addition, the latter part of Article 27 of the Clause of the Insurance Contract of this case provides that the contract may be cancelled only in the case where the contractor or the insured passes the diagnosis procedure by means of proxy diagnosis or drug taking advantage of the diagnosis, or the company proves that the contract has been concluded by an obvious fraudulent intent, such as hiding and joining the diagnosis before the date of forgery, alteration or subscription, etc. Therefore, the mere violation of the duty of disclosure does not constitute a ground for revocation. Furthermore, in the case of termination due to the violation of the duty of disclosure, the short-term exclusion period under Article 651 of the Commercial Act is set for the safety of transaction, and thus, it is unreasonable to recognize cancellation by Article 110 of the Civil Act solely on the ground that the violation of the duty of disclosure
3. Whether the insurance contract of this case is valid
A. Issues and criteria for judgment
First of all, the Defendants asserted to the effect that the parties to the instant insurance contract are only Defendant 1, but not Defendant 2, and that the Plaintiff’s claim seeking nullification of the insurance contract between Defendant 2 and the Plaintiff cannot be accepted. As seen earlier, it is reasonable to view that the contracting parties are Defendant 2 in the current legal relationship that is recognized as benefits of confirmation, as stated in the insurance policy (Evidence A No. 1) regarding the instant insurance contract of this case as Defendant 2. As such, it is reasonable to view that the contracting parties are Defendant 2 in terms of the current legal relationship that is recognized as having been recorded as Defendant 2. However, this part of the Defendants’ dispute cannot be accepted (the Defendants asserted to the effect that the initial contracting parties were Defendant 1 but that they were transferred to Defendant 2, but even according thereto, there is no change in the fact that the present contracting parties are Defendant 2).
Meanwhile, in a case where a policyholder concludes an insurance contract for the purpose of unjust acquisition of insurance money through multiple insurance contracts, requiring the payment of insurance money under an insurance contract concluded for such purpose would go beyond the social reasonableness by encouraging speculative spirit to gain unjust profits by abusing the insurance contract, and also undermine the purpose of the insurance system, such as reasonable diversification of risks, destroying the contingentness of risks, and causing the sacrifice of the majority of the insured, thereby impairing the basis of the insurance system. Such insurance contract is null and void against the good morals and other social order stipulated in Article 103 of the Civil Act. In this case, even if there is no evidence to directly recognize the existence of multiple insurance contracts for the purpose of unjust acquisition of the insurance money, such purpose may be ratified based on all the circumstances such as the occupation and financial status of the policyholder, the process of concluding multiple insurance contracts, the scale of the insurance contract, and the circumstances after the conclusion of the insurance contract (see Supreme Court Decision 2005Da23858, Jul. 28, 2005). Therefore, the key issue of this case is that the insurance contract was made for unjust acquisition of the insurance contract, and thus null and void.

(c) Markets:
(4) In light of the above facts, Defendant 1’s total insurance premium of KRW 54,650 per annum and KRW 80 per annum for 60-1 insurance contracts and KRW 80 per annum for 60-1 insurance contracts and KRW 80 per annum for 60-1 insurance contracts and KRW 60 per annum for 60-1 insurance contracts and KRW 80 per annum for 60-1 insurance contracts and KRW 60 per annum for 60-1 insurance contracts, respectively, for which Defendants 1 and 2 did not claim that the total insurance premium of KRW 60 per annum for 60 per annum for 60-1 insurance contracts were less than annual average insurance premium of KRW 60 per annum for 60 and KRW 50. The Defendants did not claim that the total insurance premium of KRW 250 per annum for 60 and KRW 50 per annum for 60 per annum for 60-2 insurance contracts.
In full view of the above circumstances, the instant insurance contract may be sufficiently ratified as being made for the purpose of unjust acquisition of insurance proceeds in light of various circumstances, such as the occupation and property status of the policyholder, the background leading to the conclusion of multiple insurance contracts, the scale of insurance contracts, and the circumstances after the conclusion of the insurance contract. Therefore, it is reasonable to deem that the instant insurance contract is null and void against the good customs and other social order stipulated in Article 103 of the Civil Act, as it harms the purpose of the insurance system, destroys the contingentness of risks, and causes the sacrifice of the majority of the insured, thereby undermining the foundation of the insurance system. (Inasmuch as the Plaintiff’s primary assertion was admitted, it is not further determined on the Plaintiff’

Therefore, all of the plaintiff's claims of this case shall be accepted on the grounds of its reasoning, and the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair on the grounds of its conclusion, and it is so decided as per Disposition after cancelling the judgment of the court of first instance and accepting all the plaintiff'
