1. All appeals filed by Defendant B and Defendant (Counterclaim Plaintiff) C are dismissed.
2. The appeal cost is the defendant corporation.
Reasons
1. In the first instance court within the scope of the judgment of this court, the Plaintiff, as the principal lawsuit, filed a claim against the Defendants for the payment of KRW 108,507,934, such as the description of the purport of the claim in the principal lawsuit against the Defendants (i.e., wage of KRW 50,619,050 retirement pay of KRW 55,888,884), and damages for delay, and Defendant C filed a claim for the payment of share acquisition amount of KRW 28,120,000, such as the description of the purport of the claim in the counterclaim against the Plaintiff as a counterclaim. The first instance court accepted the wage and retirement pay of the Plaintiff’s claim and the portion of the loan were dismissed, and accepted the set-off claim against Defendant C, and accepted the remainder of the share acquisition amount excluding the portion of the aforementioned set-off claim.
Therefore, the Defendants filed an appeal only against the retirement allowance of KRW 5,88,84 and damages for delay in relation thereto in the principal lawsuit of the judgment of the court of first instance. Accordingly, this Court's judgment is limited to the retirement allowance related to the main lawsuit of the judgment of the court of first instance.
