The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.

The grounds of appeal are examined.

According to Article 3 of the Trial of Small Claims Act, with respect to small claims, an appeal may be filed only when the judgment on whether or not the violation of the law, rules of order or disposition, or the law of order or disposition is unfair, or when the judgment contrary to the Supreme Court's precedents

Here, “when the Supreme Court rendered a decision contrary to the Supreme Court’s precedents” refers to a case where the Supreme Court’s decision is made on the application of the statutory provisions applicable to a specific case to the relevant case, which are subject to the definition interpretation through a trial of the Supreme Court, or on the premise of the opposite interpretation contents, to the relevant case.

(2) In light of the legal principles as seen earlier, the court below’s decision cannot be deemed to have made a decision contrary to the Supreme Court’s precedents, on the ground that there is no possibility for the legal opinion expressed by the defendant to be applied to this case, or that the definition of the whole or part of the provisions applicable to specific cases cannot be deemed to have been applied to this case. Thus, the court below’s decision cannot be deemed to have made a decision contrary to the Supreme Court’s decision.

In addition, the remaining grounds of appeal are not legitimate grounds of appeal as provided by the Trial of Small Claims Act.

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 on the bench.
