2. The plaintiff's ground for claim
A. Defendant ○○○○ was sentenced to imprisonment of two years and six months at the Daegu High Court due to the facts stated in paragraphs (1) through (5) of the above 1.B, and the above judgment became final and conclusive. Defendant Kim○○, upon the instruction of Defendant ○○○○○○○○, participated in the above embezzlement and breach of trust. Meanwhile, Defendant 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, 00, and ○○○○○ was committed an illegal act by Defendant ○○○○’s act, even though he was aware of the embezzlement and breach of trust by Defendant ○○○○○○○○’s ○○○○○○○, and Defendant ○○ was the other party to the embezzlement as stated in paragraphs (1) through (5) of the above 1.B., the Defendants are liable for compensation for damages inflicted on the Plaintiff as a joint tortfeasor.
B. Even if it is not so, the remaining defendants except the defendant ○○○, Kim○, and ○○ are all directors or employees of the plaintiff who violated the articles of incorporation by intention or negligence, and thus, they should be held liable under the Commercial Act. Meanwhile, the above defendants' violation of the duty of care as an officer or employee of the plaintiff, and thus, they should be held liable for non-performance.
3. Determination
A. Determination on the claim against Defendant Kim-○, ○○○, and ○○
(1) According to the facts acknowledged before the occurrence and scope of liability for damages caused by a tort, Defendant Lee Jong-young, as the president of the Plaintiff, committed embezzlement or breach of trust as referred to in paragraphs (1) through (5) of 1.B. Defendant Kim Jong-○, as the member of the audit team, under the direct control of the above president, mainly drafted documents such as a product inspection report and articles related to the above embezzlement or breach of trust, a written request for an expenditure resolution, and a waste transport vehicle sales bill, and obtained approval from Defendant ○○, ○○, ○, ○○, ○, ○○, ○○, and 00 votes. Defendant Kim Jong-○, as the representative of the above company, did not actually transport flexible coal to the Plaintiff, even if he did not request the submission of a written request for payment and a tax invoice as if he transported flexible coal, it is recognized that the above embezzlement or breach of trust was committed in collusion with the Plaintiff, and that Defendant Kim Jong-○ was liable to deposit the above amount in the name of each of the above Defendants 10 and 20.
Furthermore, the total amount of each embezzlement and breach of trust will be the amount of damages in the case of a tort in the health room, 1.B.(1) through (4).
On the other hand, the specific amount of damages incurred by the Plaintiff-owned cargo 1.B.(5)’s act of selling at low-price cargo 1.B. The final and conclusive criminal judgment also recognized the amount of damages as the “amount equivalent” in the final and conclusive criminal judgment. The evidence submitted by the Plaintiff alone lacks to acknowledge the adequate market price at the time of selling the Plaintiff-owned cargo 1. Furthermore, there is no other evidence to acknowledge it. Furthermore, the aforementioned adequate market price should be determined after examining the actual status and maximum working age of each cargo vehicle, and the transaction price in the case of the difference between the cargo 1.B., it is difficult to ascertain the actual condition and the current status of each cargo 1.B., and it is deemed difficult to prove the appropriate market price because it is difficult to ascertain the actual condition and the current status of each cargo 1.2. Ultimately, the specific amount of damages cannot be determined by the court in light of all the overall circumstances. In light of the various circumstances revealed in the pleadings in the instant case, the amount of damages should be determined at the court.
(2) Whether the statute of limitations expired
Defendant ○○○○, Kim○, and ○○○ filed a claim for damages within three years from the date on which the Plaintiff became aware of the tort. The Plaintiff had already become aware of the tort committed by the said Defendants and requested an investigation into the Defendants around 2005, and filed a complaint through civil solidarity around August 2009. Thus, the said Defendants’ tort was known at least in 2005. The instant claim for damages filed after the said three years had already expired, and even if not, the said claim for damages had already been filed after the said ten years had already expired since the statute of limitations had already expired in relation to the portion of the tort committed before the said period.
The starting point of the short-term extinctive prescription of a claim for damages due to an illegal act is from the "date on which the victim becomes aware of the damage and the perpetrator, and in the case of a corporation, the date on which the representative becomes aware of the damage and the perpetrator is ordinarily known. However, in case where the representative of a corporation commits a tort against a corporation, the profit of the corporation and the representative of the corporation is contradictory to the profit of the representative, so it is difficult to expect the representative to exercise the right to claim damages therefrom, and the representative of the corporation is generally denied the right of representation. Therefore, it is insufficient for the representative of the corporation to recognize the damage and the perpetrator. Therefore, in the above case, the short-term extinctive prescription has run only when the representative, executive, employee, or employee who has the authority to properly preserve the profit of the corporation at least when he knows it to the extent that the right to claim damages can be exercised, and if the executive, etc. jointly with the representative of the corporation, the starting point of
In light of the above legal principles, the short-term extinctive prescription of a tort shall not be deemed to have run until August 24, 2009, when Defendant ○○○○ was dismissed from office as president on August 24, 2009, and on the same day he was appointed to office as president. In light of the above legal principles, it is clear in the record that the lawsuit in this case was filed on May 2, 2012, before three years have passed from the above, since the Plaintiff’s short-term extinctive prescription of the above Defendants was dismissed from office as president on August 16, 2010, and Defendant ○○○○○ was dismissed from office as president on the same day, and Defendant ○○○○○ was not dismissed from office as president, and Defendant ○○○○○ was not dismissed from office until August 24, 2009. According to each of the above legal principles, the Plaintiff’s assertion that the above Defendants’ short-term extinctive prescription of the said Defendants’ short-term extinctive prescription of the Defendant 1010.
(3) Whether liability has been limited
Furthermore, even if the Defendants are recognized as liable for damages, the Defendants asserts that the Defendants’ liability should be limited to a portion that accords with the principle of equity, in light of the following: (a) the Defendants contributed significantly to the development of the Plaintiff and the regional economy; and (b) the Plaintiff’s management and supervision and the c
On the other hand, if a victim's negligence is recognized in a lawsuit claiming damages, the court shall take such factors into account in determining the liability and amount of the damages. Even if a person liable for damages does not assert the victim's negligence, the court shall ex officio examine it in the case where the victim's negligence is recognized by the litigation materials. However, it is not permissible for a person who intentionally committed a tort by using the victim's care to claim for the reduction of his/her liability on the ground of the victim's negligence (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 99Da50538, Jan. 21, 200). In particular, if such intentional tort constitutes an zero act, if the limitation on liability such as offsetting negligence is recognized, the perpetrator ultimately possesses profits from the tort, thereby bringing about a result contrary to the principle of fairness or good faith, and thus, it shall not be allowed to limit liability such as offsetting negligence (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2006Da16758, Oct. 25, 2007).
Therefore, even if the negligence was partially recognized due to the plaintiff's management and supervision and the response to cage, etc. in the course of the embezzlement and misappropriation of this case, the defendants who committed the act of embezzlement and misappropriation, which is an intentional tort, cannot limit their liability. Therefore, the defendants' assertion on a different premise is without merit.
(4) The theory of lawsuit
Therefore, Defendant ○○○○ and ○○○○○○ and ○○○○” have the duty of 4,521,936,678 won for each Plaintiff (i.e., embezzlement 1,58,617,265 won + KRW 344,758,902 + KRW 2,323,278,591 + 245,281,920 for embezzlement of tolls 245,281,920 + KRW 50,000 for sale by low freight vehicles) and the duty of 1,58,617,265 won for each of the above 20.4% from September 1, 2005 to 1, 344,750, 208, 201, 304, 405, 196, 201, 405, 267, 197, 2015.
B. Determination on the claim against Defendant ○○○○, ○○○, ○○○○, and ○○○○○
(1) The establishment of liability and its grounds
(A) The Plaintiff also sought liability for damages against the said Defendants based on tort and the Commercial Act.
However, as long as the Plaintiff is not a stock company, the Plaintiff’s assertion based on the Commercial Act is not acceptable, since there is no room for application of the Commercial Act.
In addition, according to the evidence above, the above defendants successively approved each of the documents of approval proposed by the defendant Kim ○○, and the above approval shall be confirmed by the above defendants with the deliberation of the decision of approval, and the defendant's decision shall be held responsible for all of the defendant's decision, and the defendant's decision shall be given more than the officer of the Damho Corporation, when the contents of the above approval documents are falsely or excessively appropriated, it is recognized that the defendant's decision was made by recognizing or doubtful the fact that the contents of the above approval documents are raising funds through this, and it is recognized that the above approval was made by the defendant's decision.
However, in full view of the following facts: (a) the above Defendants were the directors or employees employed by the Plaintiff, who had been holding the former authority at the time, and were subjected to approval by the Defendant’s justice order, which was inevitable; (b) the said Defendants raised an objection against the abnormal approving authority at the time to Defendant ○○○○; (c) sought confirmation; and (d) refused approval; and (c) the Plaintiff appears to have been unable to refuse to follow the direction of Defendant ○○○○, who had been holding the former authority at the time; and (d) the evidence submitted by the Plaintiff alone was insufficient to recognize that the Defendants participated in each of the instant embezzlement and breach of trust in collusion with Defendant ○○ and ○○○○○, or approved the said approval document in order to assist the Defendants. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s assertion based on the Plaintiff’s tort is not acceptable.
(B) However, according to the facts acknowledged above, since Defendant ○○○○, ○○○, ○○○, ○○○○, and ○○○○○○○, all of the Plaintiff’s executives have been negligent in performing their duties in good faith, and thereby obtaining approval on the approval column for each of the instant written approval documents, this is recognized as an executive or employee of the Plaintiff, and the Plaintiff’s failure to perform his/her duties properly, and each of the damages suffered by the Plaintiff is in proximate causal relation with the nonperformance by the said Defendants, the said Defendants are liable to compensate for each
(2) Scope of liability for damages
(A) Damages
The amount of damages caused by the Defendants’ breach of duty of care is the amount of damages (specifically, see the following table) of each of the above Defendants among the embezzlement and distribution of each of the above Defendants.
A person shall be appointed.
(B) According to the evidence prior to the limitation on the scope of liability, in the case of the above Defendants, the above Defendants were inevitably approved by the Defendants under the unilateral order of justice of the Defendant, who was employed by the Plaintiff as the president at the time of the above Defendants, and the above Defendants could not have been able to refuse approval against the above Defendant ○○○○○’s order. Nevertheless, the above Defendants resisted to the above Defendants, and they expressed to the purport that “the Defendant ○○○○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○ ○.
(3) Sub-decisions
Then, Defendant ○○○○○○○○○ and each of the above ○○○○○○○○○ and ○○○○○○○○○○ and KRW 4,521,936,678, as to KRW 223,596,83 (hereinafter the original unit; hereinafter the same shall apply) and KRW 7,930,863, as to KRW 17,97,237,945, as to KRW 128,428,026, from September 1, 2004; KRW 128,428,026, KRW 169, KRW 29, KRW 29, KRW 79, KRW 179, KRW 29, KRW 79, KRW 172,978, KRW 1729, KRW 678, KRW 979, KRW 197, KRW 1975, KRW 279, KRW 1975, KRW 279, KRW 1975.
