The case is remanded to Busan High Court.

Reasons

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the non-party 1 company was composed of non-party 2's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 2 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 2 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 2 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 2 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 2 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 1 company's non-party 2 company's non-party company's non-party company's non-party 1 company's non-party 2 company's non-party 2 company's non-party 1 company's company'

Thus, the company's management is a corporation that has invested 20% of the company's total capital, and the defendant company's executive officers and employees concurrently hold office or dispatch workers of the defendant company, and the company's new launch model is used in manufacturing new technology, and the materials and parts are also supplied by the defendant company and exported new products produced by the defendant company through the defendant company, barring any special circumstances, even if the defendant company takes the lead in its operation, the company's profit distribution and cost burden are determined by the above investment ratio. Therefore, it is improper to deny the company's substance and the liability for damages entirely belongs to the defendant company, and it is also difficult to understand that the company's production plant is merely a manufacturing plant of the defendant company.

The judgment of the court below is erroneous in the misunderstanding of legal principles as to the corporation's liability for damages, and the appeal pointing this out is justified.

Therefore, the part of the judgment below against the defendant shall be reversed, and the case shall be remanded to the court below for a new trial and determination. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
