1. If a copy of the complaint, an original copy, etc. of the judgment regarding the legitimacy of the appeal of this case were served by public notice, barring any special circumstance, the defendant was unaware of the service of the judgment without negligence, barring any special circumstance. In such a case, the defendant was unable to observe the peremptory period due to a cause not attributable to himself/herself, and thus, he/she may file an appeal of subsequent completion within two weeks (30 days if the cause was in a foreign country at the time of extinguishment of the cause)
