2. Determination as to the claim against Defendant 6
As seen earlier (1) Defendant 2 was granted a loan of KRW 45,00,00 from the Plaintiff bank, and the Plaintiff agreed to guarantee foreign currency payment for the Defendant’s non-party 2’s obligation to indicate the U.S. dollars against the said Defendant. Defendant 6 is jointly and severally guaranteed by Defendant 2 to the Plaintiff bank either directly or through Nonparty 3, which is his agent, at the time of the above loan and payment guarantee, or at the time of the payment guarantee. Accordingly, Defendant 6 is jointly and severally liable with Defendant 2 to pay damages for delay at the rate of KRW 56,939,750,028 and the principal of the loan amount of KRW 38,750,028 from the day following the completion of the service.
First of all, regarding the part of the evidence that Defendant 6 guaranteed the above debt against Defendant 2 in the name of Defendant 6 among the evidence Nos. 3-2, 3 (Each Agreement), and 4 (Performance Guarantee Agreement) of the same evidence submitted, which was submitted as to the joint and several debt of Defendant 6.
In full view of the purport of the Plaintiff’s testimony by Nonparty 3 and 4, Defendant 6, who had no dispute over the establishment of the Plaintiff’s joint and several sureties, had the above issuance of the Plaintiff’s certificate of seal impression Nos. 1 and 6 to the Defendant’s 3 non-party 1 and 6’s non-party 3’s non-party 6’s non-party 3’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 3’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 3’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 3’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 3’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 9’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 6’s non-party 9’s non-party 6’s counter.
(2) Even though Defendant 6 did not grant to Nonparty 3 the joint and several liability under the bank transaction agreement and foreign currency payment guarantee agreement with Defendant 2’s vice branch of the Plaintiff bank, Defendant 3 issued Defendant 6’s seal and certificate of seal so that it can offer the said real estate as collateral and obtain a loan from the Plaintiff bank’s vice branch. This is the case where the said Nonparty granted the right of representation for the establishment of security for the said real estate. The Plaintiff bank is a relation where the said Nonparty had Defendant 6’s seal and certificate of seal impression, and there is a justifiable reason to believe that the said Nonparty was granted the right of representation for the said joint and several liability agreement by Defendant 6. Accordingly, Defendant 6 asserts that Defendant 2 is liable for the debt to the Plaintiff bank in accordance with the legal principles of expression agency.
In full view of the above evidence, the facts that Defendant 6 granted the right of representation for the establishment of a collateral to the above real estate to Nonparty 3 and that Nonparty 3 guaranteed each obligation to the Plaintiff bank as the representative of the Plaintiff bank and Defendant 6 beyond the scope of the right of representation. Meanwhile, Nonparty 3, as the deputy head of the Plaintiff bank, may recognize the fact that the Plaintiff bank concluded a joint and several surety contract with Defendant 6 for the obligation of Defendant 2 who belongs to the business activities within its branch, as the representative, as the deputy head of the Plaintiff bank, in the legal status of his deputy head, and there is no proof otherwise, the above act of Nonparty 3 is deemed both acts as an agent, and even if both agents do a legal act beyond the scope of the right of representation granted by one party, it cannot be deemed as an agent if it is not reasonable to recognize that the above act of joint and several surety was an act of representation with the Nonparty 6's agent, and therefore, it cannot be said that there is no legitimate ground to recognize that the agent's right of representation was in the relationship with the Plaintiff 3 as the above agent.
(3) In addition, the plaintiff bank asserted that it was not only the above real estate owned by the defendant 6, but also the non-party 7 corporation located in Nam-gu Incheon sublime (hereinafter the non-party 7 corporation) on August 11, 1980. The defendant 2 and the defendant 3 conspired with the non-party 3 about August 7, 1980 that the non-party 7 representative director of the non-party 7 did not intend to purchase the real estate owned by the non-party 7's 380,000,000 won and paid 66,00,000 won to the non-party 60,000 won to the non-party 6, the non-party 2, the non-party 1, and the non-party 4 and the non-party 6 corporation's non-party 6 corporation's joint venture 86,00,000 won to the above non-party 6 corporation's claim for damages 97,000 won.
As seen earlier, Defendant 6 cannot be recognized as a joint and several surety for Defendant 2’s obligation arising from a transaction with the Plaintiff bank. Therefore, this part of the Plaintiff’s assertion is without merit.
(4) If so, the claim of this case against Defendant 6 of the Plaintiff bank is no longer acceptable.
3. Conclusion
Ultimately, the Plaintiff’s instant claims against Defendant 1, Defendant 2, Defendant 3, Defendant 4, and Defendant 5 are all reasonable, and all claims against Defendant 6 are dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition by applying Articles 89 and 93 of the Civil Procedure Act to the burden of litigation costs, and Article 199 of the Provisional Execution Act to the declaration of provisional execution.
