According to the provisions of Article 415 of the Civil Procedure Act, an appeal is to be filed to the court of original judgment. Thus, as to a reappeal, whether the period of filing a reappeal is observed shall be determined based on the time when the reappeal is received to the court of original judgment.

According to the records, the re-appellant submitted by mail an original copy of the order of the court below issued on March 30, 1984 and received it at the general reception office of the Seoul Civil Procedure District Court as of April 6, 1984. The court sent it to the Incheon District Court, which was the court of original judgment, and received it as the 13th of that month. Thus, the re-appeal of this case was received to the court of original judgment after the expiration of the re-appeal period and it cannot be corrected due to its illegality.

Therefore, the re-appeal is dismissed, and it is ordered as per Disposition.
