[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, entry of Gap evidence 1 to 7, purport of the whole pleadings

2. According to Article 566 of the former Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act, a debtor who receives a decision of bankruptcy and a decision of immunity is exempted from all of his/her obligations to a bankruptcy creditor except dividends pursuant to bankruptcy procedures. Thus, any bankruptcy claim not entered in the list of creditors in the application for immunity is also subject to immunity.

However, Article 7 of the same Act provides that “a claim that is not entered in the list of creditors in bad faith is a non-exempt claim.” This means a case where an obligor knows the existence of an obligation against a bankruptcy creditor before immunity is granted and fails to enter it in the list of creditors. Thus, when the obligor was unaware of the existence of an obligation, even if he was negligent in not knowing the existence of the obligation, it does not constitute a non-exempt claim under the same provision.
