Reasons
The fact that Nonparty 1 was the manager of the Defendant Bank as the manager of the Defendant Bank is without dispute between the parties. In full view of Nonparty 2 and 3’s testimony, Nonparty 1 borrowed KRW 500,000 from the Plaintiff and the above two testimonys, taking account of each of the above two testimonys, Nonparty 1, who was the manager of the Defendant Bank, issued and delivered promissory notes in the name of Nonparty 1 under the name of the head of the branch office of the Defendant Bank in the U.S., U.S., Bank, and the fact that the Plaintiff presented the said promissory notes to the Defendant Bank on April 28, 1965, but the payment was refused due to false issuance.
The plaintiff asserts that the non-party 1's manager of the defendant bank should pay the above promissory note to the defendant bank, and that the non-party 1 cannot borrow money from the individual manager of the defendant bank. Thus, even if the issuance of the debt and this promissory note is null and void, the non-party 1's employee's act of borrowing money against the plaintiff's bank's own name as the non-party 1's employee's act of borrowing money, and thus, the defendant bank's above non-party 1's duty to compensate the plaintiff's loss. Thus, the defendant bank's act of borrowing money against the non-party 1's policy of the above non-party 1's old financing under Article 18 (1) of the National Banking Act can not be viewed as an act of borrowing money from the non-party 1's ordinary financial institution's non-party 1's non-party 6's act of borrowing money. Thus, the defendant bank's non-party 1's act of borrowing money can not be viewed as an act of borrowing money from the defendant bank's general financial institution.
