Reasons
First of all, we examine the application for the designation of the date of pleading of the defendant. The records show that the defendant's attorney, who is an appellant after remanding the case, was absent and present at the date of pleading of November 28, 1980 after the remand, and that the plaintiff was absent on the next date of pleading of December 19, 1980, and the defendant's attorney, who was present at the date of pleading, was treated as being withdrawn by the plaintiff's appeal because the plaintiff's attorney still failed to present at the date of pleading. Thus, the defendant applied for the designation of the date of pleading of December 19, 1980 on the above date of pleading of December 19, 1980, because the infection of the party, who is a soldier, aggravated, or was unable to appear on the date of pleading due to a cause not attributable to the plaintiff, and thus, the plaintiff did not appear on the date of pleading of the above date of pleading of December 19, 199.
Therefore, on December 19, 1980, a party member declares that this case has been terminated by the plaintiff's withdrawal of appeal, and the litigation expenses after the application for designation is made shall be borne by the plaintiff as the losing party, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
