KCC 275/2002
Background
A company filed a case against a defendant requesting that the court order the defendant to pay an amount of money plus legal interest.
Another company filed a case against the defendant requesting that the court validate a legal reservation on the assets of the defendant.
The court rejected the two cases and dismissed the legal reservation.
The companies appealed and the appeal court suspended consideration of the appeals until the court settled another case.
The companies appealed by cassation.
Decision
Before the cassation court, the companies argued that the ruling had insufficient evidence of causation as the court suspended consideration of the case based on the current case and a penal case having common ground, but the court failed to explain the components of the penal case or reveal the common ground between them.
The court held that this argument was valid as the court had suspended consideration of the appeal without explaining the components of the penal case or revealing the connection between the cases.
The court therefore repealed the ruling.
