Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 90Na27964 delivered on January 24, 1991
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed) are examined as follows.
1. According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below found on June 1, 1984 that the non-party Pungyang Credit Union (hereinafter referred to as the "non-party union") borrowed 14,758,000 won from the plaintiff with the bitr purchase fund and agreed to repay the above principal and interest after June 1, 1985 because the plaintiff failed to pay the interest after June 1, 1985, and the defendant urged the plaintiff to pay the above loan to the plaintiff, and the loan from the non-party union was made without a resolution of the board of directors and thus null and void, but the above repayment agreement of the defendant decided that the non-party union decided to pay the above loan solely without relation to the non-party union, and rejected the defendant's claim that the non-party union was liable to pay the above loan with the plaintiff. In light of the records, the court below's fact-finding and decision is justified and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles or misapprehension of legal principles as to the above process.
2. The legal capacity of a juristic person is limited by the law that is the basis of the establishment of a juristic person and the purpose of its articles of incorporation, but acts within the scope of its purpose is not limited to the purpose itself specified in the law or articles of incorporation, but also includes all necessary acts directly and indirectly in the performance of its purpose. Thus, even if the plaintiff's business scope is not included in the plaintiff's business scope under Article 70 of the former Credit Union Act (amended by Act No. 4070 of Dec. 31, 198), it can be deemed that the plaintiff is able to make a loan to a union pursuant to the above Article 70 of the former Credit Union Act, so the plaintiff is able to expect a transaction with a union members through the union, so it is necessary for the achievement of the plaintiff's purpose, and thus, the act of securing a loan claim, such as this case, belongs to the scope of the plaintiff's purpose, and thus,
3. In addition, since the Track price claimed by the Plaintiff is higher than the case of purchasing via a city or agricultural cooperative, the Defendant’s assertion that the Plaintiff’s claim for the full payment of the purchase price is unreasonable is merely to criticize the lower court’s finding of facts as to the existence of an agreement for full payment of the purchase price, and even if the Plaintiff reduced or exempted part of the purchase price to the purchaser of other agricultural machinery than the Defendant, the mere fact cited by the lawsuit cannot be deemed to be against the principle of equity. All arguments are without merit.
Therefore, the appeal is without merit, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
