Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 92Na64073 delivered on March 24, 1994
Text
The judgment of the court below is reversed. The plaintiff's appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal and appeal shall be borne by the plaintiff.
Reasons
Ex officio, the appeal filed by the plaintiff is examined.
An appeal may be filed only against a judgment unfavorable to an appellant, and whether a judgment is disadvantageous to appellant shall be determined based on the standard of the text of the judgment at the time of the appeal (see Supreme Court Decision 83Da515 delivered on October 25, 1983).
According to the records, the plaintiff was paid an amount of 586,412,830 won to the defendant from December 4, 1987 to the date of full payment, and requested to implement the procedure for registration of cancellation of the establishment of a neighboring mortgage as to the real estate of this case. The court of first instance did not order the plaintiff to dismiss the above amount of 586,412,830 won and the above amount of 6% per annum from December 4, 1987 to October 2, 1992 (the above amount of 756,360,087 won = 586,412,830 won + 586,412,830 won and the above amount of 586,412,830 won as to the real estate of this case, and the court below did not order the plaintiff to dismiss the registration of establishment of a mortgage of this case more clearly than the above amount of 70 million won. Thus, the court below did not order the plaintiff to dismiss the above part of the plaintiff's appeal.
Nevertheless, the judgment of the court below which did not require further determination as to the grounds of appeal should not be reversed, since the court below's decision was unlawful as it entered this part and sentenced the dismissal of appeal.
Therefore, a party member shall dismiss the plaintiff's appeal by the unanimous opinion of all participating Justices, and it shall be decided directly pursuant to Article 407 subparagraph 1 of the Civil Procedure Act, and the costs of appeal and appeal shall be borne by the losing plaintiff. It is so decided as per Disposition.
