Summary of Judgment

A. In determining whether a traffic accident falls under a "serious traffic accident" as stipulated in Article 31 of the Automobile Transport Business Act, a traffic accident which causes two or more casualties only on the basis of the persons who have suffered the casualties, as a matter of course, shall not be deemed to fall under such a traffic accident.

The provision provides that "when a large number of casualties are caused" as one of the grounds for cancellation of a business license, the cause of "large casualties" is considered to be caused by a serious traffic accident," and it cannot be deemed that a traffic accident caused by more than 2 casualties is a "large traffic accident" as a matter of course, and it does not constitute a "large traffic accident" as a matter of course, and the issue of whether a traffic accident constitutes "large traffic accident" is a legitimate traffic accident, and it is not a violation of the provisions of Article 97 (1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act or the regulations of the Ministry of Construction and Transportation concerning administrative agency's authority's authority and authority.

3. In light of the records, the court below is justified in holding that the traffic accident in this case constitutes a serious accident under Article 31 subparagraph 5 of the Automobile Transport Business Act, and that the defendant's decision that the traffic accident in this case did not constitute an unlawful act beyond the limits of discretion since the defendant selected an administrative disposition for the cancellation of the license of the violating vehicle (the cancellation of the business license) among the dispositions under Article 31 subparagraph 5 of the same Act with respect to the traffic accident in this case, and it cannot be found that there were any errors such as the theory
