Judgment of the lower court

Seoul High Court Decision 99Na15469 delivered on March 17, 2000

Text

All appeals are dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate brief filed after the deadline).

1. On the second ground for appeal

Unless there are special circumstances, it is reasonable to view that a postal item proving the contents of a letter of intent to withdraw from a reconstruction association was served at that time unless it is sent and otherwise returned (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 79Da1498, Jan. 15, 1980; 96Da38322, Feb. 25, 1997). In light of the above legal principles and records, the court below is justified in holding that the court below submitted a letter of withdrawal to the plaintiff association at that time and that it reached each time, and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the misconception of facts or the arrival of declaration of intent due to the violation of the rules of evidence as otherwise alleged in the ground of appeal.

2. On the first ground for appeal

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below held that when a reconstruction association did not obtain authorization for establishment or when a person who consented to reconstruction did not yet include the association members and obtained authorization for modification, union members may freely withdraw from association, barring special circumstances such as the provision prohibiting union members from withdrawing from association under the rules of the association, etc.

3. Therefore, all appeals are dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff-Appellant. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all Justices who reviewed the appeal.
