Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 87Gu1018 decided May 19, 198
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, the court below legitimately confirmed the fact that the plaintiff did not transfer the apartment of this case to the non-party on November 16, 1981, but only entrusted ownership on the grounds of its stated reasoning. In light of the records, the court below's fact-finding is just and acceptable, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence as pointed out.
In addition, in an appeal litigation, the plaintiff can assert the method of attack and defense not asserted in the previous trial procedure, and the court may examine it to determine the legitimacy of administrative disposition (see Supreme Court Decision 84Nu211 delivered on June 12, 1984). The judgment below to the same purport is just and there is no error of law by misunderstanding the legal principles as pointed out. All of the arguments are groundless.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, 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.
