[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 and 2, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. The assertion and judgment

A. As to the Plaintiff’s filing of a lawsuit for the confirmation of this case in order to seek the interruption of extinctive prescription of a claim based on the preceding judgment, the Defendants asserted that ① all amount of the claim of this case was repaid, and ② extinctive prescription was completed.

B. According to the Majority Opinion of the Supreme Court en banc Decision 2015Da232316 Decided October 18, 2018, a lawsuit seeking the interruption of extinctive prescription, such as this case, is not effective under the substantive law in addition to the interruption of extinctive prescription of a claim established by a prior judgment. As such, a lawsuit seeking the interruption of extinctive prescription, such as this case, cannot be deliberated on the existence of a claim including the completion of extinctive prescription and substantive legal relations such as the scope

Therefore, the above assertion by the Defendants cannot be examined in this lawsuit, and is therefore groundless.

In accordance with the Majority Opinion of the foregoing 2015Da232316, the court of the subsequent suit shall deliberate and decide on the grounds that occurred after the closing of argument in the prior suit in the event a confirmation suit for the interruption of extinctive prescription is instituted.
