2. The assertion and judgment

A. (1) The parties' assertion (1) The part that was technically possible after completion of repair due to serious damage, such as damage to the main structural frame of the plaintiffs' vehicle due to each accident of this case remains impossible to recover. Therefore, the defendant is liable to compensate the plaintiffs for damages arising from price drop.

(2) It is reasonable in light of the principle of equity to consider only the damage on the part of the plaintiffs' vehicle damages, other than the outer upper part, as the subject matter of compensation for damages. Therefore, the amount of damages by the appraiser calculated by including the damage on the outer upper part, is excessive.

B. (1) When an article is damaged due to a tort, the amount of ordinary damages shall be the cost of repair if it is possible to repair it, and the exchange value shall be reduced if it is impossible to repair it.

Where part of repair is impossible even after repair remains, the reduced value of exchange due to the impossibility of repair in addition to the repair cost shall also be incurred normally.
