The three employees of G countries were not working at the exclusive team, and three employees of G countries were under significant stress on the deceased’s duty due to excessive increase in the number of duties and the sense of responsibility as a manager. Accordingly, the causal causal relation between the deceased and the death of the deceased should have been caused, and thus, the suicide and the death of the deceased should have been cancelled.

The physical examination, which can be readily determined by depression, was not conducted, but is believed to have been in an unexplosion while giving an unexplosion. The deceased said that the face was extracted from the unexplosion, that the breast was in the brupt, that the brupt, that the brut, that the brut, and that the brut was in the brupt, that the brut, that the brushe was in the brush, that the brut, and that the brut was in the brut, that the brut was unlocked before one week.”
C) Results of this court's response to the medical record appraisal by the chief of the hospital in the Gangseo-dong.
(1) 망인에 관한 기록을 보면 우울병을 추정할 수 있다. 짱인은 DSM-IV 의주요우울장애 판단기준 중 '흥미나 쾌감의 저하', '식욕의 감소', '불면', '피로 또는 에너지 상실', '집중력 저하', '증상이 사회적, 직업적 또는 다른 중요한 기능영역에서 임상적으로 충분한 고통을 일으킴' 등의 항목에 해당한다.
(2) The external stress or environment is not the sole original body, but rather the vulnerability to one’s own depression, i.e., the vulnerability to one’s own depression, i.e., the quality or nature of the depression. Any person, who is healthy, who is faced with depression, may be faced with unstable disorder. Generally, one’s vulnerability (e.g., quality and character) may be deemed as an excessive work.
(3) An excessive business alone is unable to commit suicide. This is involved in the ability to engage in the same-sexing, hostileism, treatment method, or response, and has an impact on current character issues, the characteristics of the quality, the development of the sex from the youth to the youth, the existence of the treatment of the depression, etc.
D) The result of the court's fact-finding on the director of the same-sex hospital
(1) Even if a person who is likely to suffer from a suicide expresses the reason for suicide, the reason is not a requisite element for inducing or promoting suicide. Generally, a person who expresses the reason for suicide is merely expressed by the parties that he/she thought as such, and thus, cannot be deemed as a cause of depression and suicide, but is naturally related. Therefore, it should not be overlooked.
(2) In the case of a job stress, the burden may vary depending on one’s own business, ② the workload and environment, and ③ the personal capacity. In this case, the volume of work shall be presumed to have been borne by the Deceased, and the contributions of approximately 1/3 to 1/2 may be presumed. However, an individual’s capacity, general living stress, personal conflict or problems, quality, character, characteristics, disease, etc. may be connected, and it may be determined accurately by all of them.
(3) 우울병은 개인의 병에 대한 취약성이 높은 경우 스트레스가 작동하여 발병하게 되며, 일단 발병하게 되면 병가를 내고 직장을 쉰다 해도 해결되지 않으므로(약 간의 증상이 호전될 수 있을 뿐이다), 약물치료, 정신치료, 인지치료 등 우울병 치료를 해야 한다.
(4) If the Deceased’s treatment of a euthanasia could vary, but the Deceased’s treatment was conducted due to his or her failure to provide treatment, and thus, the Deceased committed suicide with suicide accidents (marction), fluence, and impulses together. The suicide accident, maternity is independent of occupational stress, and the maternity may affect the character of stress or stress.
(5) The U.S. patients commit suicide throughout their life at approximately 10 to 15%, and if they do not receive medical treatment, they are highly likely to have a high probability, and thus, they are entitled to active medical treatment.
【In the absence of dispute, Gap 5, 6 evidence, Eul 7-1 through 7, Eul 8-1 through 21, Eul 8-3, Eul 4-1, 2, Eul 5-5 through 8, Eul 9-1 through 3, Eul 10, Eul 12-1 through 4, Eul 14, 15, and 15, each fact-finding result of this court's fact-finding with respect to the plaintiff, the result of this court's entrustment of medical record appraisal to the director of Gangwon-dong Hospital, the result of fact-finding, the witness, Eul's testimony, and the whole oral argument.
1) The term "occupational accident" refers to an injury, disease, physical disability, or death of an employee who was caused by his/her duties while performing his/her duties. As such, there should be a causal relationship between his/her duties and disaster. The existence of such causal relationship must be determined not by the medical and scientific proof but by the existence of proximate causal relationship from a normative point of view. As such, the worker's without his/her entry into a suicide caused a disease, occupational or stress on the main cause of the disease, and it can be presumed that the disease was caused by his/her mental disorder or mental distress, or that there was a significant decline in his/her normal perception or behavior, and that there was a proximate causal relationship between his/her duties and the death (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 93Nu13797, Dec. 14, 1993; 200Nu139393, Jun. 39, 199).
2) In full view of the evidence and the overall purport of the arguments as seen earlier, the deceased appears to have suffered mental burden and stress due to the duties aggravated by reorganization as the team leader of the exclusive team. However, in light of the following circumstances, solely on the ground that the deceased’s work volume rapidly increased around the time of his death, the depression was caused by an excessive occupational stress to the degree that it is difficult to accept and overcome as an average worker, and further, it is difficult to see that the depression was caused by the mental disorder or mental distress, or by the mental disorder whose normal perception or ability to choose action, or the mental suppression capacity is significantly deteriorated. Ultimately, it is difficult to recognize a substantial relationship between the deceased’s work and the suicide, and the death of the deceased cannot be deemed as an occupational accident.
A) For three months after the formation of the exclusive team, the deceased’s overtime work hours are about 70:0 p.m. monthly average, and during that period, the deceased worked at around 07:30 p.m. without a large change in working hours and retired at around 20:00 p.m., and five times at the end of the week. In light of the deceased’s working hours only, it does not seem that the deceased’s overtime work is too excessive to the extent that it is difficult for ordinary workers to commit suicide.
B) According to the medical opinion, although the outbreak of depression is presumed to have been presumed to have been caused to the deceased, it is difficult to see that, even if the task performed by the Plaintiff is in excess of the task performed by the Plaintiff, it is a direct cause for the deceased, because the external stress case or the environment is not a sole cause, but the vulnerability to be inflicted on one’s depression, namely, the vulnerability to be inflicted on one’s own depression, so even if it is an external stress environment, anyone who is healthy and is able to be suffering from depression, and anyone may be suffering from anxiety.
C) Although the deceased prepared a written statement that he/she committed suicide due to work stress, it is only the cause of suicide that the deceased thought, and it seems medically that such a written statement does not constitute a requisite element to induce or promote suicide due to depression.
D) Since the Deceased was of a in-depth and in-depth nature, and there was a tendency to pursue complete barriers to his duties while being aware of others, it seems that the Deceased was vulnerable to stress and passive treatment of appraisal in order to solve it.
E) As the Deceased was ordered as a team in the F sector, he/she has maintained the existing duties together with the existing researchers, and additionally bears the analysis of the distribution channel, which is one of the same kind of duties. As such, there was no change that the Deceased would suffer from sudden stress in the contents of duties or the work environment, except for the increase in the workload.
F) Even though the Deceased was aware of the symptoms that appear to be the index of the depression disorder, such as the fall of the desire, the bathing, the reduction of the influence, and the decrease in the concentration of force after becoming the team leader of the task force team, it seems that the disease of depression has deteriorated due to the failure to take measures to resolve the disorder, such as taking medicines upon diagnosis of the depression and taking medical treatment.
G) The Deceased’s death day is Sundays, and the Deceased took a break at the house even on the Saturday preceding the said day. In particular, on November 2009, the Deceased worked once on Sundays and did not work for a day other than a day-time work, and most of the working days were retired from work between 18:00 to 19:00, and there is no circumstance such as that the Deceased was sent to a high-level work difficult at the time of death.
H) In light of the fact that the deceased had already been prepared on the day before the deceased’s suicide, the deceased appears to have been preparing for suicide. Therefore, it cannot be deemed that the deceased’s normal perception or behavior selection capacity has resulted in a contingent suicide in the state of a mental disorder with a significant decline.
3. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
