Reasons
Judgment on the grounds of appeal by the Plaintiff’s Attorney
According to the court below's reasoning, since the non-party 2 did not suffer losses from the above non-party 1's deposit account at the time of set-off against the non-party 2,96,716, and the defendant's deposit account was issued to the non-party 1's non-party 2 and the non-party 2's bank's non-party 2's non-party 1's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 3's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's.
Judgment on the grounds of appeal by Defendant’s Attorney
As seen earlier, the court below held that in withdrawing the deposit amount of KRW 2,00,000, the bank's name was different from the bank's name in the written request for deposit which was submitted by the bearer, and there were doubtful circumstances as seen earlier, and thus, the employee in charge of the defendant bank could have known that the above employee in charge of the defendant bank could have been the person who did not have the right to withdrawal from the deposit if he did not have the right to withdrawal from the deposit. However, even though the employee in charge of the defendant bank neglected to do so and paid KRW 2,00,000 to the same person by mistake as the person in charge of the defendant bank's staff in charge of the defendant bank's negligence, the court below did not err in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the negligence of the bank in withdrawing the deposit payment, and the court below did not err in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the special agreement and it cannot be interpreted that the special agreement cannot be viewed as valid unless the defendant bank's seal was paid to the person who did not have the right to withdrawal from the deposit.
Therefore, all appeals by the plaintiff and the defendant are dismissed as it is without merit. The costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
