Reasons

We examine the grounds of appeal.

According to the records, the cause of the Plaintiff’s claim for the interest in the instant case as the amount of reimbursement is, in case where the Plaintiff and the Nonparty, the principal debtor, paid the amount equivalent to the amount of the interest in arrears to the non-party company as a result of delayed payment of the amount of the interest in installments for the non-party company, the above non-party, in accordance with the Plaintiff’s claim for reimbursement, agreed to pay the above insurance money and the interest in arrears at the interest rate under the Korean Finance Corporation agreement from the date of payment to the date of full payment of the insurance money. Thus, in light of the purport of the purport, the Plaintiff did not actually pay the interest in arrears to the non-party company, so the Defendant did not have a duty to claim the amount equivalent to the interest in arrears to the Plaintiff, or the agreement on the interest in the said interest

In addition, the reasoning of the judgment of the court below is examined in light of records. The interest for delay that the above non-party shall pay to the plaintiff pursuant to the guarantee insurance contract for the payment of the amount of the delayed payment of the plaintiff's insurance money, is not an interest on the damages incurred by the non-party due to delay in performing his claim for reimbursement of the amount of the plaintiff's insurance money, and it does not constitute a claim for the payment of money or goods for a period not exceeding one year under Article 163 subparagraph 1 of the Civil Code, and thus, the claim for payment cannot be deemed as the subject of short-term extinctive prescription. Further, the judgment of the court below that the judgment of the court below that the non-party cannot be concluded to have waived his claim for the interest for delay because the amount the plaintiff received from the above non-party was appropriated for the repayment of

In addition, the argument cited by the theory of lawsuit is nothing more than that of the court below's failure to judge at all, and therefore, it is not reasonable to punish it without any further necessity.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
