Re-appellant

Daegu District Court Order 89BE12 dated February 20, 1989

The reappeal is dismissed.

The grounds of reappeal are examined.

The correction of the family register under the provision of Article 120 of the Family Register Act is limited to a minor case where the correction is to be made, and where the correction has a serious impact on the family law or inheritance law, such as birth, death, marriage and removal from the family register due to marriage, father-child relationship, and the permanent domicile of the mother, it shall not be corrected unless it is determined by the final judgment. Thus, the court below's rejection of the application for correction of the family register in this purport is just and there is no violation of the rules of evidence

Therefore, the reappeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
