The order of the court below
Seoul High Court Order 91Ra181 dated January 20, 1992
Text
The reappeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of reappeal are examined.
According to Article 367 of the Civil Procedure Act, "the filing of an appeal shall be filed by submitting a petition of appeal to the first instance court." Thus, the compliance with the period for filing an appeal shall be determined on the basis of the time when the petition of appeal is received to the court of first instance. Although the petition of appeal was filed to a court other than the court of first instance within the period for filing an appeal, it does not have the effect of filing an appeal (see, e.g., Supreme Court Order 81Nu230, Oct. 13, 1981; Supreme Court Order 85Ma178, May 24, 1985; Supreme Court Order 87Ma1028, Dec. 30, 1987; etc.) and even if a site manager of the Seoul District Court has supported the Seoul District Court of Appeals, it cannot be viewed as part of the above court under the Gai Civil Procedure Act, which has independent territorial jurisdiction in accordance with the Act on the Establishment and Jurisdiction of Various levels of Court.
The order of the court below to the same purport is just and there is no error as pointed out.
Therefore, the reappeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
