1. Revocation of the first instance judgment.
2. The plaintiff's claim is dismissed.
3. All costs of the lawsuit shall be borne by the Plaintiff.
Reasons
Unless there exist special circumstances, if a copy of a written complaint of determination as to the legitimacy of an appeal for subsequent completion, and the original copy of the judgment, etc. were served by public notice, the defendant was unaware of the service of the judgment without negligence, barring any special circumstance. In such a case, the defendant is unable to observe the peremptory period due to a cause not attributable to him/her, and thus, he/she is entitled to file an appeal for subsequent completion within two weeks (30 days where the cause ceases to exist in a foreign country at the time the cause ceases to exist) after the cause ceases to exist. Here, the term “after the cause ceases to exist” refers to the time when the party or legal representative becomes aware of the fact that the judgment was served by public notice, rather than the time when the party or legal representative becomes aware of the fact that the judgment was served by public notice, barring any other special circumstances.
(1) According to the records, the court of first instance rendered a judgment in favor of the Plaintiff on May 29, 2018 after serving a copy of the complaint, notification of the date for pleading, etc. to the Defendant by means of service by public notice. The original of the judgment was also served on the Defendant by means of service by public notice, and the Defendant was issued an original copy of the judgment on July 27, 2018, and submitted an appeal for subsequent completion on August 10, 2018.
Thus, the defendant was unable to observe the peremptory appeal period because he was unaware of the progress and result of the lawsuit of this case due to a cause not attributable to himself.
Therefore, the appeal of this case filed within two weeks from the date the defendant obtained an original copy of the judgment and became aware of the fact that the judgment of the first instance was served by means of service by public notice is lawful.
