1. The instant lawsuit was concluded on September 3, 2015 as the withdrawal of the lawsuit.

Therefore, the instant lawsuit was concluded on September 3, 2015 (the date following the second week from the date of service when the consent is deemed to have been given).

Nevertheless, on October 2, 2015, after the lapse of the aforementioned two weeks, the Defendant submitted a written opinion that he/she consented to the withdrawal of the Plaintiff’s lawsuit to the effect that the lawsuit in this case continues to exist. Therefore, it is reasonable to make a declaration of termination of the lawsuit in this case.

Thus, since the lawsuit in this case was terminated as the withdrawal of the lawsuit by the plaintiff on September 3, 2015, it is decided as per Disposition by the declaration of termination of the lawsuit.
