1. Of the judgment of the court of first instance, KRW 212,056 against the Plaintiff and its related thereto, from June 9, 2016 to May 18, 2017.

1. Determination on the legitimacy of a subsequent appeal

A. On July 13, 2016, the Defendant filed an application for a comprehensive consent in the process of civil litigation, etc. using an electronic data processing system and filed the application for a prior consent.

8.2. Although the withdrawal was made, the court of first instance asserts that since August 11, 2016, the Defendant’s failure to observe the peremptory period for filing an appeal was due to a cause not attributable to the Defendant, since both a duplicate of the complaint of this case, a notice of date for pleading, and an authentic copy of the judgment were sent to the Defendant by electronic means.

B. Before determining the legitimacy of the instant appeal, we examine whether the court of first instance was legitimate to serve the Plaintiff with an authentic copy of the judgment by electronic means.
