Main Issues
Since two cases are related cases in the appellate court, each judgment of the first instance is reversed by conducting a consolidated trial.
Summary of Judgment
If two rulings were rendered in the court of first instance as a result of a separate hearing of two cases, and the two cases were consolidated in the appellate court as related cases, this constitutes a case where it is impossible to maintain the judgment of first instance as it is a ground for ex officio trial, and thus, each judgment of first instance should be reversed.
