Reasons
1. Basic facts
A. Agreement on facility leasing between the Plaintiff and RedA and creation of a collateral security
(1) On August 20, 2013, the Plaintiff entered into a facility lease contract with the HongA with respect to the 28 U.S. 3** Bealym-cracked vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the “instant vehicle”). The main contents are as stated in the attached Form 2.
As to the instant motor vehicle, the new registration was completed in the name of HongA on August 19, 2013, and the Plaintiff completed the registration of establishment of the instant motor vehicle at KRW 45,00,000 on the same day.
(b) Progress of the auction procedure;
(1) On March 16, 2016, the Plaintiff filed an application for the auction of automobile on the instant automobile as a mortgagee with the district court ** District Court 2016 other 50***.

2. Determination on this safety defense
A. The defendants' assertion
A person who has standing to sue in a lawsuit of demurrer against distribution shall be limited to a creditor or debtor who has appeared on the date of distribution and raised an objection under a substantive law as to the distribution schedule, and even in cases where the goods owned by a third party are sold as an object of compulsory execution due to mistake as owned by the debtor, such third party does not constitute an interested party in the auction procedure, and thus there is no standing to sue to file a lawsuit of demurrer against distribution. The plaintiff raised an objection against
B. Determination
As seen earlier, the execution creditor who applied for voluntary auction as a mortgagee for the instant automobile constitutes an interested party in the voluntary auction case concerning the instant automobile, and the said main safety defense by the Defendants is without merit on a different premise.
3. Judgment on the merits
A. The parties' assertion
(1) The Plaintiff asserts that the instant automobile is owned by the Plaintiff, regardless of its ownership, and the Defendants’ respective seizure and delivery claims against the Plaintiff are null and void. Thus, the instant dividend table should be revised as stated in the purport of the claim.
The Defendants asserted that the Plaintiff’s claim, the mortgagee of the instant vehicle, is without merit, since the Defendants’ claims for arrears, such as tax claims and health insurance, against RedA, priority over the Plaintiff’s right to collateral security in the distribution order.
B. Determination
(1) The key issue in the merits is whether each of the defendants' claims for seizure and delivery are invalid, and it depends on whether the pertinent automobile can be seen as owned by the plaintiff, regardless of the name of the instant automobile in the HongA.
[Attachment] The content of the instant facility leasing agreement (Article 2 subparag. 10 of the Specialized Credit Finance Business Act, Articles 2 subparag. 1 and 3(2) of the Terms and Conditions of this case) and the HongA agreement between the Plaintiff and the HongA to vest the ownership of the instant vehicle. However, the ownership of the instant vehicle has become HongA, as seen earlier, the fact that the ownership of the instant vehicle became HongA. Furthermore, in principle, the change of ownership of the instant vehicle has its effect of registration (Articles 6 and 8(1) of the Motor Vehicle Management Act). Accordingly, the instant motor vehicle is considered to be externally owned by the
Article 33(1) of the Specialized Credit Financial Business Act provides that the content of the instant facility leasing agreement and the provisions of the Automobile Management Act shall be interpreted as a provision to externally recognize the Plaintiff’s ownership of the instant automobile regardless of the title of ownership in the case of facility leasing by recognizing an exception to the Automobile Management Act (see Supreme Court Decision 2000Da40025 delivered on October 1, 200, which is the same purport with respect to similar provisions under the former Equipment Rental Business Act).
x) Accordingly, the Plaintiff is the person holding the right to collateral security of the instant motor vehicle as well as the owner of the instant motor vehicle, and as long as it is recognized as having the external ownership of the instant motor vehicle under the interpretation of the relevant law, it shall not be deemed as a legal violation
(v) As a result, each seizure by the Defendants is an attachment of the instant motor vehicle, which is owned by the Plaintiff, a third party, based on the claim against HongA, and is null and void as it is against those subject to no eligibility to seize. Accordingly, the instant distribution schedule must be amended as stated in the purport of the claim.
3. Conclusion
If so, the plaintiff's claim shall be accepted for the reasons of the judgment as per Disposition.
