1. The Plaintiff’s appeal against the Defendants and the claims added by this court against Defendants B, C, and D.
Reasons
1. The reasoning for this part of the reasoning is as stated in Paragraph 1 of the reasoning of the judgment of the court of first instance. Therefore, this part of the reasoning is cited by the main sentence of Article 420 of the Civil Procedure Act.
2. The plaintiff's assertion
가. 피고 B, C, D에 대한 청구 1) 불법행위에 따른 손해배상청구(위자료 및 일실부의금 청구) 위 피고들은 원고 등에게 망인의 사망 사실을 통지하여야 했음에도 이를 알리지 않았다. 이러한 위 피고들의 불법행위로 인하여 원고는 망인의 장례절차에 참여할 기회를 잃어 정신적인 손해와 지인들로부터 받을 수 있었던 부의금 17,690,000원을 받지 못하는 손해를 입었다. 따라서 피고들은 원고에게 각 정신적 손해에 대한 위자료 83,077,330원과 위 일실부의금 상당 손해의 안분액 5,896,670원(≒ 17,690,000원 ÷ 3) 및 이에 대한 지연손해금을 지급할 의무가 있다. 2) 부의금 분배 청구 위 피고들이 망인의 장례를 통하여 수령한 부의금은 53,070,000원이고, 그중 19,992,000원이 장례비용으로 지출되었다.
Therefore, the above defendants are obligated to pay 1,026,00 won [=(53,070,000 won - 19,92,000 won] ± 3] and delay damages for the remaining portion after deducting the funeral expenses from the shares of the gift to the plaintiff, who is the inheritor of the deceased.
B. Defendant E, in collusion with Defendant B, C, and D, made an illegal “report of death without fault” regarding the deceased’s death.
The plaintiff suffered emotional distress by losing the opportunity to participate in the funeral procedures of the deceased due to the tort by Defendant E, and thus, Defendant E is obliged to pay the plaintiff the consolation money for emotional distressing damages of KRW 100,000,000 and delay damages.
3. Determination
A. The reasons for this Court’s determination regarding the claim for consolation money 1 regarding the claim for damages caused by the tort against Defendant B, C, and D are as follows.
