Reasons
(1) On the other hand, the 6th 1st 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 7th 6th 6th 6th 7th 6th 6th 6th 6th 8th 8th 8th 6th 6th 6th 6th 8th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 6th 1987.
The plaintiff entered into a lease agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant, while the plaintiff and the defendant agreed to assume all civil and criminal responsibilities for all accidents caused by negligence or failure to drive while working, so even if the plaintiff is liable as a joint illegal offender, it is argued that the plaintiff is fully responsible to the defendant according to the above agreement. Thus, according to the above Gap evidence No. 1, the plaintiff's agreement was made between the plaintiff and the defendant, although it is recognized that the purport of the agreement was not to exclude the plaintiff's liability as a joint illegal offender, it is reasonable in light of the statement or logic that the plaintiff's purport of the agreement is not to exclude the plaintiff's liability as a joint illegal offender. Thus, the plaintiff's above assertion is groundless.
Therefore, the above accident is a concurrent act between the plaintiff's above red paths and the above-mentioned yellow-line's employees, and the plaintiff and the defendant are jointly and severally liable to compensate for the above damage caused by the above Kim Jong-chul's accident. In light of the above circumstances of the accident, it is reasonable to view that the plaintiff's side is 40/100 and the defendant's side is 60/100. Meanwhile, in consideration of the above negligence of the above Kim Young-chul's above, the amount of damages that the above Kim Jong-chul's course can claim against the plaintiff and the defendant should be set at KRW 1,50,000,000, which corresponds to the above ratio of negligence among the above medical expenses paid by the plaintiff to the above Kim Young-chul's employees, and therefore, the defendant is obligated to pay to the plaintiff the above amount of KRW 900,000 (1,50,000,000 won) equivalent to the above ratio of negligence among the above medical expenses paid by the plaintiff to the plaintiff.
Therefore, the defendant is obligated to pay to the plaintiff the damages for delay at the rate of five percent per annum from March 8, 1988, the day following the day on which the plaintiff seeks reimbursement for the amount of 900,000 won and the damages for delay from March 8, 1988 to the day of full payment. Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case shall be accepted within the scope of the above recognition and the remainder shall be dismissed without merit. Since the original judgment is unfair with partial conclusion, it is accepted in part of the defendant's appeal, and the part against the defendant ordering payment exceeding the above recognition scope is revoked, and the plaintiff's claim corresponding thereto is dismissed. The defendant's remaining appeal is dismissed without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition by the application of Articles 96, 89, and 92 of the Civil Procedure Act
