Reasons
The defendant's attorney's grounds of appeal are examined.
With respect to No. 1:
According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below acknowledged the amount of damages equivalent to the number of chairs calculated on the basis of the above facts, based on the following facts, by comprehensively taking account of the following evidences, that the plaintiff needs to be 7,400,000 won in the number of previous and previous types of arms and legs, and that the number of persons required for 7,40,000 won in the number of previous and previous types of arms and legs, and that they are 3 years each, and not trust Eul evidence No. 8 (written confirmation), etc. contrary to the above recognition, and judged that the entry of No. 7 in the Evidence No. 7 (Medical Report, etc.) in the above fact does not interfere with the judgment of the court below, and recognized the amount of damages equivalent to the number of arms calculated on the basis of the above facts. Thus, if the court below compared the evidence preparation and judgment which were conducted in recognizing the above facts with the records, it is reasonable, and there is no
With respect to the second ground:
In a case where interim interest is deducted pursuant to the calculation method by year, when calculating the current value of a short-term interest deduction period after 36 years from the date when the current rate of a short-term interest is more than 20, the opinion of the party member that the victim should not be paid excessive compensation by preventing the interest accrued from exceeding the amount of the loss by applying 20 of the current rate of a short-term interest pension on the numerical table so that the current rate of a short-term interest payment should not be exceeded. According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, it is evident that the court below determined that the plaintiff incurred the loss of the current amount and calculated the current amount by applying 20 years of the current rate of a short-term interest payment on the numerical table so that the interest accrued from the present family does not exceed the amount of the loss (see Supreme Court Decision 85Meu819, Oct. 22, 1985).
Ultimately, in calculating the current price of damage caused by the disbursement of nursing expenses in the judgment of the court below, the application of the present price rate of short-term pension under the Hopmanman Calculation Act exceeding 20 is an error of law by misunderstanding the legal principles concerning the calculation of damages.
However, in calculating the price of the auxiliary equipment for the plaintiff, the court below calculated the present price by deducting the interim interest pursuant to the Hofman Accounting Act from the total value of the auxiliary equipment to be purchased 11 times every three years from the time when 3 years and 6 months elapsed from the time of the accident until the time when 33 years and 6 months elapsed from the time of the accident. Thus, the court below's determination of the present price of damage caused by the above auxiliary equipment cost is justifiable.
In the end, it is recognized that only the part concerning the calculation of the opening costs in the paper is well-grounded, and if this part is not reversed, it is considerably contrary to justice and equity.
Therefore, the part of the judgment of the court below against the defendant is reversed, and that part of the case is remanded to the court below. The remaining grounds of appeal are without merit. The costs of appeal as to this part are assessed against the defendant. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
