1. The part of the judgment below on the claim for nullification of the refusal of the renewal of employment contract shall be reversed.

2. A change in the original judgment.

1. The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of each written statement not timely filed).

With respect to the existence or absence of the right to renew a contract and the reasonableness of the refusal thereof, the status relationship as an employee shall be terminated naturally upon the expiration of the contract period, and in principle, the employer shall retire automatically even if the contract is not renewed, even if the contract is not renewed. However, even if the contract is terminated in a labor contract, employment rules, collective agreement, etc., there is a provision that the contract shall be renewed upon the fulfillment of certain requirements, or, in full view of the circumstances surrounding the labor relationship in question, including the motive and circumstance for which the contract is concluded, the standards for renewal, etc. of the contract, the establishment and circumstances of the contract, and the contents of the work performed by the worker, if there is a fiduciary relationship that the contract is renewed upon the fulfillment of certain requirements between the parties to the contract, and the right to expect unfairly refusal of the contract in violation of such provision has no effect as it is unfair, and the labor relationship after the expiration of the contract shall be the same as the previous one for which the contract was renewed (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Du141727, Apr. 27, 2014).
