Reasons
On February 7, 1963, the judgment of the plaintiff for a retrial was rendered at the 13th day of the same month and served on the plaintiff himself/herself. However, the plaintiff was not able to prove any significant matter that might affect the judgment, i.e., the grounds for a retrial only on March 16 of the same year, and it is clear in the records that the plaintiff filed a lawsuit for a retrial on April 6 of the same year. However, barring any special circumstance, it is recognized that the plaintiff read the judgment at the time of receiving the service of the judgment requesting a retrial, and that there was an error in the omission of the judgment. Thus, in order to claim that the plaintiff was aware of the grounds for a retrial of March 16 of the same year, it is necessary to prove that there was a special circumstance that the plaintiff would not know the grounds for a retrial until the time when the above judgment was served, but the lawsuit for a retrial cannot be deemed to have been filed within the peremptory period stipulated in Article 426 (1) of the Civil Procedure Act, and thus, the lawsuit for a retrial is dismissed.
Therefore, according to Articles 425, 395, and 383 of the Civil Procedure Act, it is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
