Judgment of the lower court
Busan High Court Decision 90Na2239 delivered on July 19, 1990
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
1. We examine the first ground for appeal by the defendant's attorney.
Examining the evidence admitted by the court below based on the records, the rules of employment and collective agreement of the non-party shipbuilding company, which was employed by the non-party trust assistance, are required to determine wage figures each year through collective bargaining, and accordingly, the above deceased has been paid wages each year. Since it is acknowledged that the above deceased was an on-site technician by collective agreement without a rise in salary as an on-site technician, it is highly probable that the above deceased's wage would be increased for a long time, and thus, it is acceptable to the court below's decision that calculated the lost profit of the above deceased according to the wage raised by the collective agreement in 190 and the wage agreement in 190 concluded after the accident, and there is no error of law such as misunderstanding of legal principles or violation of judicial precedents.
2. We examine the second ground for appeal.
In light of the records, the court below is justified in finding that the amount received by the plaintiffs who are the bereaved family members of the victim's non-party aid from the defendant was received as consolation money and did not deduct the amount from the property damage compensation amount, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence or misapprehension of the legal principles,
3. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and all costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
