2. Occurrence and scope of liability for damages;
A. “Defect in the construction or maintenance of a structure” under Article 758(1) of the Civil Act refers to a state in which a structure fails to meet normal safety requirements according to its use. In determining whether such safety requirements are met, the determination shall be based on whether the installer or custodian of the structure has fulfilled his/her duty to take protective measures to the extent generally required by social norms in proportion to the risk of the structure.
(1) In light of the aforementioned legal principles, the lower part of the Plaintiff’s vehicle’s rear wheels prior to the stop of the Plaintiff’s vehicle due to contact with the columns of the instant parking lot and the instant accident occurred, the said parking lot was in a state of failing to meet the safety required by social norms. However, there is no evidence to support the Defendant’s prior notification of such circumstance or the Defendant’s attachment of a guide sign, etc., and thus, the Defendant cannot be deemed to have fulfilled its duty to take protective measures regarding the management of the said parking lot.
Therefore, it is true.
