Thus, in full view of the records of Nos. 1 through 4 and part of Non-Party 1's testimony (excluding parts not trusted in the front and rear), Defendant 1 sold the automobile of this case to Defendant 2 on March 6, 1983 and delivered the automobile of this case to Defendant 2 by April 5 of the same year, and delivered the vehicle of this case to Defendant 2, and the fact that the vehicle of this case was delivered a document necessary for the registration of transfer to the above deceased and his wife and children, it cannot be viewed that the above plaintiffs' automobile of this case was operated under the premise that the above defendant 1 cannot be viewed as being in violation of the Automobile Accident Compensation Act's evidence No. 8-1 and No. 2 of this case's automobile accident compensation.

Since Defendant 2 is the substantive right holder who directly occupies and manages the instant vehicle, and is operating an automobile for his own sake under the Automobile Accident Compensation Guarantee Act, he asserts that he is responsible for compensating for the lost profit amount of KRW 103,392,153 and consolation money suffered by the plaintiffs who are the above deceased and their wife and children due to the above accident.
