Basic Facts
The reasoning for this part of this Court is as stated in Paragraph 1 of Article 420 of the Civil Procedure Act, except where “Defendant D” is deemed to be “Defendant” and “Defendant C” to be “Codefendant C of the first instance trial,” and thus, it is identical to that of the first instance judgment.
The summary of the plaintiffs' assertion was introduced to the plaintiffs by introducing Co-Defendant C of the first instance trial (hereinafter "C"), and actively recommended investments. Accordingly, most of the plaintiffs' investments made to C were paid to the defendant via C. Thus, the defendant is a substantial transaction party and has a duty under the good faith principle to notify the plaintiffs of the fraud crime.
However, around May 26, 2015, the Defendant: (a) informed the Plaintiffs of the crime of fraud, thereby aiding and abetting C’s tort by failing to notify the Plaintiffs.
Therefore, as a joint tortfeasor, the defendant has a duty to compensate the plaintiffs for damages equivalent to the amount remitted to C after May 27, 2015.
(Plaintiffs asserted in the first instance trial that the Defendant conspiredd to commit a crime with C or aided by commission, but this Court changed the above argument. Article 760(3) of the Civil Act provides that an aided person or aided person shall be deemed a collaborative act, thereby holding the aided person liable to commit a joint act. The aided and abetting refers to all direct and indirect acts that facilitate a tort. It includes not only cases by commission, but also cases where the act of commission is facilitated due to omission by a person liable to act, who does not take various measures to prevent it.
Here, the duty to act is a legal obligation, so it does not include a simple moral or religious obligation, but it is a legal obligation, so long as the duty to act is a legal obligation.
