[손해배상청구사건][고집1971민,407]

Main Issues

A person who can claim consolation money due to life infringement.

Summary of Judgment

The plaintiffs are not related to the deceased (the lineal ascendant, lineal descendant, and spouse) under Article 752 of the Civil Act, so it is possible to claim consolation money for this case. In order to claim consolation money, the plaintiffs must prove that they suffered mental pain due to the death of the above deceased. The plaintiff 1 is the death of the above deceased, and there is no other evidence to support this in addition to the facts that the plaintiff 3 and the plaintiff 2 were the women of birth. Thus, the plaintiffs' claim for consolation money is groundless.

Thus, in order to claim consolation money for this case, the non-party's death should prove that the non-party was suffering from mental suffering. Thus, the plaintiff 1 is the death of the non-party, and there is no other evidence to recognize this differently except the facts that the plaintiff 3 and the plaintiff 2 were the birth of the non-party. Thus, the plaintiffs' claim for consolation money is groundless.

(3) Therefore, the defendant is obligated to pay to the plaintiff 1 the amount of KRW 210,00, KRW 140,000 and KRW 140,00, and KRW 140 per annum from July 18, 1968, the next day of the above accident related to the above accident to the full payment, so the plaintiffs' claim of this case shall be accepted within the extent of the above recognition, and the remainder shall be dismissed. Thus, the judgment which cited the above recognition limit in excess of the above recognition limit is reasonable within the above limit, and the defendant's appeal is reasonable within the extent of the above excessive limit. Thus, the defendant's appeal against the above excessive part of the original judgment shall be revoked, and the plaintiffs' claim against the defendant shall be dismissed, and the costs of lawsuit shall be borne as per Disposition by applying Articles 96, 93, and 92 of the Civil Procedure Act.
