Attached Form

(1) Attached Form (2) shall apply with respect to the insured events described.

Reasons

1. The reasoning for this part of the judgment of the court of first instance is the same as the reasoning of the judgment of the court of first instance, and thus, it is cited by the main sentence of Article 420 of the Civil Procedure Act.

2. Summary of the parties’ assertion

A. The Defendant A and the Deceased did not notify the Plaintiff of this fact even though the Deceased’s assertion continued to use the two-wheeled automobile after the conclusion of the instant insurance contract.

In accordance with Article 652(1) of the Commercial Act or Article 26(1) of the Terms and Conditions of the Insurance Contract of this case, the insurance contract of this case is terminated by serving the application of this case on the ground that it violated the obligation to notify after the contract of this case under Article 25(1) or the obligation to notify after the contract of this case (hereinafter “Duty to notify”) and thus, the Plaintiff

B. Article 25(1) of the Terms and Conditions of the Insurance Contract of this case and Article 26(1) of the Terms and Conditions of the same case’s assertion by the Defendants constitute grounds for termination of the insurance contract and constitutes an important matter of the contract.

3. Determination

A. Article 652(1) of the Commercial Act provides that “The risk of the occurrence of an accident is significantly changed or increased” is “the fact that the defendant violated his duty to notify.”
