Reasons
As to ground of appeal No. 2
It is the opinion of the party members that the calculation of the present price of the lost profit in the future by deducting the intermediate interest from the calculation method of the off-line interest.
In addition, when calculating the present value of the interim interest deduction period after 414 months (in calculating the current value of a short-term interest, more than 20 years) in which the present rate of the short-term interest deduction period exceeds 240, the majority opinion of the party members (see Supreme Court Decision 85Meu819, Oct. 22, 1985) that it is clear that, in calculating the present rate of a short-term interest deduction period, the present rate of a short-term interest deduction period after 414 (in calculating the short-term interest deduction period, more than 20 years) the current rate of a short-term interest deduction period should not exceed 240, so that the victim does not receive excessive compensation, regardless of the long-term rate of the present rate of a short-term interest on the numerical list, it is clear that the court below calculated the current amount of damage by calculating the present value of the loss pursuant to 467 months.
As above, the court below erred by misapprehending the legal principles as to the calculation of the amount of damages by applying the simple pension rate exceeding 240 persons in calculating the current value of the deceased's damage. This is a ground for reversal under Article 12 (2) of the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings. Therefore, the argument on this point is reasonable and without examining the remaining grounds for appeal, the part concerning property damage among the original judgment shall not be reversed.
This part of the original judgment is reversed, and remanded to the Daegu High Court which is the original judgment. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
