The plaintiff's lawsuit against the defendant C is dismissed.
Defendant B-.
Reasons
1. The court's decision on the facts of recognition and the defense of this part of this Court's decision is consistent with the corresponding part of the judgment of the court of first instance, thereby citing it as it is in accordance with Article 420 of the Civil Procedure Act.
2. Whether the lawsuit against the defendant C is lawful
A. The main sentence of Article 566 of the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act (hereinafter “ Debtor Rehabilitation Act”) provides that the obligor who has obtained immunity is exempted from all liability for the whole amount of obligations owed to the bankruptcy creditors, except distribution under the bankruptcy procedures.
The exemption here means that the obligation itself continues to exist, but it is not possible to enforce the performance to the bankrupt debtor.
Therefore, when a decision to grant immunity to a debtor in bankruptcy becomes final and conclusive, a claim that has been granted immunity shall lose the ability to file a lawsuit (see Supreme Court Decision 2015Da28173, Sept. 10, 2015). (b)
