Judgment of the lower court
Daegu District Court Decision 99Na23923 delivered on July 12, 2000
Text
All appeals are dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
On the first ground for appeal
A person responsible for managing firearms, ammunition, explosives, etc. can sufficiently anticipate that if firearms, etc. are leaked to the outside of the military due to their storage and management negligence, it may be used in criminal acts and may result in infringing on the lives and bodies of each citizen (see Supreme Court Decision 97Da49534, Feb. 10, 1998).
In comparison with the evidence indicated in the record, the court below accepted the judgment of the court of first instance and recognized the facts as to the circumstances leading to the accident of this case. The non-party 1 neglected to have the shot fever for 2 days or more under the defendant's control, and the non-party 1 neglected to have it held for the non-party 2 days or for the non-party 1, and the shotleg management should always be checked at the same time so that the shot scrap might not be lost. However, the non-party 1 did not properly confirm the shot powder settlement prepared by the non-party 1. The key to the shot belt storage was also kept in the state of non-party 1's failure to correct it, and the non-party 1 did not err in the misapprehension of the legal principle as to the act of theft and management of the gun in proximate causal relation with the result and the damage caused by the non-party 1's negligence in the management of the gun of this case. The non-party 1 did not err in the misapprehension of evidence and the legal principle.
The Supreme Court precedents cited in the grounds of appeal are inappropriate to be invoked in this case as they differ from this case.
We cannot accept the allegation of this point in the grounds of appeal.
On the second ground for appeal
Contributory negligence in tort is set in consideration of the victim's fault in determining the amount of compensation in accordance with the principle of equity or good faith. The scope of compensation is set in consideration of all the circumstances such as the tortfeasor's intent and negligence, degree of the victim's intentional act, occurrence of the illegal act, and expansion of damages. However, fact-finding or its ratio on the ground of comparative negligence is within the exclusive authority of a fact-finding court unless it is recognized that it is considerably unreasonable in light of the principle of equity (see Supreme Court Decision 98Da54397, Jun. 9, 200).
In comparison with the evidence indicated in the record, the court below's finding of facts about the grounds for offsetting negligence by admitting the judgment of the court of first instance is justified, and even considering the circumstances asserted by the appellant, the court below's citing the judgment of the court of first instance seems to be appropriate to assess the degree of negligence by citing the judgment of the court of first instance, and there is no error of law by misapprehending
We cannot accept the allegation of this point in the grounds of appeal.
On the third ground for appeal
The purpose of this Act is to contribute to the realization of social justice by providing necessary national honorable treatment for the injured and his family members and the bereaved family members of the deceased and wounded (Article 1). The State only provides for medical protection, education protection, employment protection, and funeral protection (Articles 7, 9 through 12), and does not provide for exemption from the duty to pay benefits. In light of the purpose and purpose of the Act on the Honorable Treatment of Persons of Distinguished Service for the wounded and wounded, the system to pay and pay compensation to the bereaved family members of the deceased and wounded is not only the social security character of promoting the stability of life and the improvement of welfare of their bereaved family members, but also the system to compensate for losses or losses, including the purpose or purpose of compensating for losses and losses.
Therefore, the benefits such as compensation, medical care, and educational care which are paid or payable by the deceased and wounded noble person law can not be deducted from the amount of damages that should be compensated by the State Compensation Act.
The judgment of the court below to the same purport is just, and there is no error of law as to the deduction of profit and loss.
Among the grounds of appeal, the argument of this point is not accepted.
Concerning No. 4
In a case where the victim agreed that he would not be punished against the perpetrator in the course of investigation or criminal trial against the perpetrator of the tort, unless there are circumstances such as clearly stating that the amount received at the time of the agreement is paid as consolation money, it shall be reasonable to deem that the amount was paid as part of the compensation (property damage) for damages (see Supreme Court Decision 95Da53942 delivered on September 20, 1996).
However, the court below accepted the judgment of the court of first instance and recognized the fact that the agreement that the plaintiffs received 15 million won from the non-party 1's family members as criminal agreement, stated that the plaintiffs' compensation for damages of this case against the State is separate, and that the above amount should be paid to the non-party 1's parents and relatives as the crime of de facto crime. The above amount was paid to relieve the criminal liability against the non-party 1, but it was not paid as part of the civil damage compensation (property damage) under the civil law. Thus, it is acceptable to consider the above amount in calculating the amount of consolation money without deducting the above amount from the property damage compensation, and there is no error of law as to the legal nature of the criminal agreement.
We cannot accept the allegation of this point in the grounds of appeal.
Concerning the fifth point
The amount of consolation money for emotional distress suffered by a tort may be determined by the fact-finding court at its discretion, taking into account all the circumstances (see Supreme Court Decision 98Da41377, Apr. 23, 199).
By citing the judgment of the court of first instance, the court below shall determine the amount of consolation money in consideration of all the circumstances indicated in the instant case, such as the circumstance and result of the instant accident, the amount of consolation money, and the receipt of the amount of consolation money. Under such circumstances, the amount of consolation money calculated by the court below is reasonable, and there is no error
Of the grounds of appeal, the argument of this point cannot be accepted.
Therefore, all appeals are dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all Justices who reviewed the appeal.
