Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 94Na17620 delivered on December 21, 1994
Text
The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
1. We examine the Defendant’s attorney’s grounds of appeal.
A. As to the grounds of appeal Nos. 1 and 2
According to the records, each forged bill of this case, the size of which the non-party requested discount to the defendant, is larger than 3mm in width and length, and thus, it is apparent that the non-party did not use the regular bill of this case, and in detail, in terms of its color, it is sufficient to make it possible to recognize it as the land. Furthermore, even before the period of discount of each forged bill of this case, the defendant is a financial institution which ordinarily has discounted bank bills, and the defendant requested discount of the above non-party on two occasions from the above non-party, but the above non-party had refused discount on the ground that there is any error in the bill presented by the non-party. Thus, the defendant was forged each forged bill of this case at the time of discount of each forged bill of this case, and the plaintiff could be deemed to have been aware that each of the promissory note of this case was issued and delivered to the defendant with joint and several debt obligations of the business debtor, which is the above non-party, and therefore, the issuance of each of the promissory note of this case by the plaintiff was lawfully delivered to the defendant.
Although the reasoning of the lower judgment’s reasoning is inappropriate, the lower court’s conclusion that each of the promissory notes of this case does not exist is justifiable, and there is no reason to discuss all the issues.
B. Ground of appeal No. 3
According to the records, since the defendant can be known that he was issued and delivered each of the promissory notes of this case from the plaintiff who was deceptioned by the above non-party, the defendant does not constitute a third party under Article 110 (3) of the Civil Code. There is no reason to interpret this.
2. Therefore, the appeal shall be dismissed and all costs of appeal shall be assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
