A. Article 173(1) of the Civil Procedure Act provides, “Any reason for which a party cannot be held liable” refers to a reason why the party could not observe the period even though he/she has exercised a general duty to do the procedural acts. In cases where the service of documents related to a lawsuit was impossible as a result of the failure to serve the documents related to the lawsuit in the process of the lawsuit by public notice, and the service by public notice is inevitable, the party is obligated to investigate the progress of the lawsuit by public notice from the beginning. Thus, if the parties did not know the progress of the lawsuit before the court, it shall not be deemed that there is no negligence. Further, such obligation is a matter of whether the party was present at the date for pleading and present at the date for pleading, whether the party was notified of the date for pleading after the date for pleading present at the date

Moreover, the circumstance that there was no negligence in failing to observe the period of appeal due to the failure to know the pronouncement and service of the judgment, shall be asserted and proved by the party who intends to subsequently supplement the appeal.
