Purport of claim and appeal
1.
1. If an original copy of a complaint and an original copy of judgment were served by public notice, barring any special circumstance, the defendant was unaware of the service of the judgment without negligence. In such a case, the defendant falls under a case where the peremptory term is unable to be observed due to a cause not attributable to him/her, and thus, he/she is entitled to file an appeal for subsequent completion within two weeks from the date such cause ceases to exist. Here, "the date on which such cause ceases to exist" refers to the time when the party or his/her legal representative becomes aware of the fact that the judgment was served by public notice, rather than the time when the party or his/her legal representative becomes aware of the fact that the judgment was served by public notice (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Da39734, Sept. 6, 2007). Meanwhile, "reasons not attributable to the party" under Article 173(1) of the Civil Procedure Act refers to the case where the party was unable to comply with the time limit for pleading, regardless of whether it was served by public notice or not.
(see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Da44730, Oct. 11, 2012). Written evidence Nos. 1, 2, and 5 (including branch numbers, if any) are written.
