Reasons

1967. 11. 19. 15:20경 진해시 태백동 3 소재 태백세탁소 앞길에서 마침 자전거를 타고 가던 원고가 소외 1이 운전하던 (차량번호 생략) 찝차에 치여 상처를 입은 사실, 그 당시 위 자동차가 자동차 등록원부상 피고의 소유명의로 등록되어 있었던 사실은 당사자간에 다툼이 없는 바,

The plaintiff's attorney argues that the defendant is the user of the above driver's 1 and is responsible for compensating for all damages suffered by the plaintiff due to the above accident. The defendant has registered the above motor vehicle under the name of the defendant at the time of the above accident. However, the above motor vehicle was registered under the name of the defendant at the time of the above accident. The plaintiff's plaintiff's plaintiff's plaintiff's 1's 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and the non-party 2 and 3's testimony each of the above 1, 2 and 3's 9's 9's 1, 1965's 9's 6's 9's 9's 9's 9's 9's 9's 9's 1,000's 9's 6's 9's 1,000's 9's 1,000 won 's 9'''s 7''''''''''''''''''''s 1,

Therefore, even if the ownership of the automobile was reserved to the defendant at the time of the accident, since the automobile was already sold to another before the accident, but the ownership transfer is not registered, it does not take effect. Therefore, as seen above, even if the ownership of the automobile was reserved to the defendant at the time of the accident, the defendant, as the seller at the time of the sale, is not actually involved in the operation and management of the automobile since it was delivered to the non-party company, the purchaser of the automobile, and then delivered to the buyer the documents for ownership transfer registration, and it was never involved in the management of the automobile, and the non-party company, as the buyer, has exercised almost exclusive control over its operation, such as employing the driver and managing the vehicle regardless of the intention of the defendant, who is the seller of the automobile, who is the buyer of the automobile, has been transferred the vehicle, and the accident occurred to the interest of its operation. Therefore, at the time of the accident, the defendant cannot be viewed as the "person who operates the automobile for his own own purpose" of Article 3 of the Automobile Accident Compensation Act at the time of the accident.

Therefore, the Plaintiff’s claim for damages under the Civil Act or the Guarantee of Automobile Accident Compensation Act on the premise that the Defendant is the user of the instant accident driver or the operator of the instant automobile is a person operating the instant automobile, is dismissed without having to make any judgment on any other points. Therefore, it is unreasonable to dismiss the original judgment on the ground that it is unfair to have different purport of the original judgment, and thus, it shall be revoked pursuant to Article 386 of the Civil Procedure Act and the litigation costs shall be borne by the losing
