Text

Reasons
The defendant's grounds of appeal are examined.
According to the original judgment, the court below recognized that the non-party, who was the victim of the instant case, sustained property damage caused by the accident of this case, was the loss amount expected to have been incurred as the Army Workers at the time of their survival and the loss amount of expected profits after the completion of military service, and recognized that the defendant paid 102,960 won as the death allowance to the plaintiff 1 pursuant to the above evidence No. 1, and that the amount of 2,400 won per month as the survivor's benefits and 1,00 won per month as the bereaved family's benefits were paid to the plaintiff 1. The court below rejected the defendant's defense that the amount should be deducted from the amount of damages of this case, and recognized that there were no errors in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to the amount of damages of the plaintiff 1 and the bereaved family's benefits paid to the plaintiff 2 at the time of their death and thus, it was not possible to find the defendant's defense as the whole compensation benefits of the plaintiff 1 and the bereaved family's benefits paid to the plaintiff 1.
