Judgment of the lower court

Daegu High Court Decision 90Na2810 delivered on December 13, 1990

Text

Of the lower judgment, the part against the Plaintiff against Defendant 1 is reversed, and that part of the case is remanded to the Daegu High Court.

The plaintiff's appeal against the defendant 2 is dismissed.

The costs of appeal against the dismissed portion shall be assessed against the plaintiff.

Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

1. On the first ground for appeal

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below rejected the plaintiff's claim that the defendant 1 paid 10,00,00 won at par value of 10,00 and 1 promissory note as security on January 6, 1983, and the non-party 2 asked the non-party 2 to pay 9,640,000 won to the non-party 2 who did not pay 9,00 won for the above 9,00 won after receiving the plaintiff's endorsement in addition to the above promissory note as security on the 30th of the same month, and the non-party 2 did not pay 9,640,00 won to the non-party 1 for the above 6th of January 6, 1983. The plaintiff and the defendants agreed that the non-party 2 paid 9,000 won to the non-party 2 with the above 9,000 won to the non-party 2 as security interest rate of 10,000 won.

However, according to the above decision of the court below, since the above non-party 2 agreed to pay the principal amount of KRW 10,000,000 at a discount of the above non-party 2 as the maturity date of April 6, 1983, with the interest rate of KRW 11,050,000 per month between the three months from January 6, 1983 and April 6, 1983, and the above interest rate of KRW 11,050,000 as the interest rate of KRW 10,000 as the interest rate of KRW 10,000 and the interest rate of KRW 35% per month, barring any special circumstance, the principal amount of the above debt shall be deemed to have been agreed upon as the interest rate of KRW 10,00,00 as the interest rate of KRW 10,00 and the above interest rate of KRW 35% per month.

Therefore, if the plaintiff and the defendants jointly and severally liable to repay to the above non-party 2, the principal amount of KRW 10,000,000 and the interest and delay damages under the Interest Limitation Act within the scope of the agreed rate from January 6, 1983 to the full payment date, but if the plaintiff had the plaintiff discharged all of the above debt, the scope of the plaintiff's joint debtor and joint debtor's indemnity shall be equivalent to 1/2 of the above debt amount unless there is an agreement on internal burden.

Nevertheless, the court below's decision that the principal of the debt of this case did not have an interest agreement of KRW 11,050,000, which affected the conclusion of the judgment by misunderstanding the facts contrary to the rule of experience or the rules of evidence, and therefore, it is reasonable to point this out.

2. On the second ground for appeal

In a case where there are several persons jointly and severally liable, the joint and severally liable person for all of them has the right to demand reimbursement against all of the contributions made to the performance of the guaranteed obligation (see Article 447 of the Civil Act). Thus, even in a case where one of the persons jointly and severally liable against it exercises the obligee's right to claim against the other persons jointly and severally liable by repaying his obligation in excess of his own internal share, he may not subrogate the other persons jointly and severally liable for the joint and severally liable person.

Therefore, the court below's rejection of the plaintiff's claim against the defendant 2 by the principal obligor against the guarantor is without merit.

Therefore, the part of the judgment of the court below against Defendant 1 is reversed, and that part of the case is remanded to the court below, and the appeal against Defendant 2 is dismissed, and the costs of appeal against the dismissed judgment are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
