1. Determination on the legitimacy of a subsequent appeal

(a) The following facts are apparent in the records of recognition:

1) The Plaintiffs filed the instant lawsuit against the Defendant on February 26, 2015. On March 12, 2015, the Defendant served a copy of the instant lawsuit on the Defendant’s domicile on April 7, 2015, and submitted a summary summary statement on May 15 and June 30, 2015 to the court of first instance. 2) The court of first instance submitted the instant case to the Seoul Central District Court for conciliation under the Seoul Central District Court 201534914, but did not reach conciliation due to the Defendant’s absence of conciliation, the Defendant served the first date notice on March 21, 2016 on the Defendant as the Defendant’s domicile, but was not served as a closed door. The Defendant was absent on the date of first instance on March 21, 2016 (the date of first pleading).

3) Since then, the notice of the second date of pleading, the plaintiffs' request for modification of the purport of the claim, and the notice of the sentencing date, which was served to the defendant's domicile, were not served respectively due to the plaintiff's unknown whereabouts or the addressee's unknown whereabouts, the court of first instance rendered a judgment accepting the plaintiffs' claim on July 22, 2016, and the same day was served to the defendant's domicile, but the original copy of the judgment was not served as the defendant's domicile, but also by public notice on August 2, 2016, and the service became effective on August 17, 2016.

5. On November 30, 2017, the Defendant submitted a written appeal for the subsequent completion of the judgment of the first instance court.

B. Subsequent supplementation of procedural acts, such as filing an appeal after the lapse of the appeal period, can only be made where the parties could not comply with the peremptory term due to a cause not attributable to them, and “reasons not attributable to the parties” under Article 173(1) of the Civil Procedure Act refers to “reasons not attributable to the parties”. The parties are intended to conduct the procedural acts.
