Reasons
The grounds for the judgment to be a member of the instant case are as follows, and this is identical to the grounds for the judgment in addition to the parts in which the original judgment is reversed or supplemented, thereby citing it.
(1) From the 6th line above the ground of appeal 1, the part regarding “in employment by Defendant 1 as a daily allowance,” which reads as “the so-called labor contract with Defendant 1’s construction cost of KRW 130,000”.

(3) As to the part of the original judgment that judged Defendant 1 liable for damages as an employer, the following determination is standard.
In general, since there is no relationship between the contractor and the contractor, the contractor does not apply the provisions of Article 756 of the Civil Act, but in the case of a so-called labor contract, such as ordering a specific act or awarding a contract for a specific project, the contractor shall be liable for damages under Article 756 of the Civil Act even if the contractor is the contractor. In this case, in full view of each of the above evidence and the whole purport of oral argument at the time of the original judgment, the non-party 4, who was awarded the contract from the same defendant 1, determined the outline of the construction, and performed the construction, and specifically consulted with the non-party 1, the owner of the building, who was the owner of the building, on the basis that the materials necessary for the construction, etc. were to purchase the materials at the construction site to the non-party 4 at that time, and caused damages to the non-party 1, who was ordered to do so through the non-party 4, which was the owner of the construction work, even if the plaintiffs had been ordered to do so at that time.
On the other hand, the original judgment that forms the same conclusion is just, and the appeal by the Defendants is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition.
