소송승계에서 원고, 피고, 참가인간의소송형태와 심판방식

Abstract

This paper discusses a form of litigation & method of trial in succession in action. The first subject is that when there is dispute over succession between the parties and the third party(successor), how do their litigation-related rules? The theories are conflicting, but I draw a conclusion, which they rule Article 67 (Special Provisions for Indispensable Co-Litigation), because their litigation-related have some analogy to Intervention as Independent Party. The second subject is that when there is not dispute over succession between the parties and the third party(successor), how do their litigation-related rules? In here also the theories are conflicting, but the supreme court decision of 2019 (2012da46170) do different judgement to judicial precedent in this connection. Their litigation-related have to rules Article 67, not Article 66 (Status of Ordinary Co-Litigants). It based on ① Article 81(Successor's Intervention; the third party has intervened in a lawsuit under Article 79 and to the cases of Article 79 the provision of Articles 67 shall apply mutatis mutandis), ② coordinate of Article 70 (Special Provisions for Preliminary or Selective Co-Litigation) & Article 79 (Intervention as Independent Party) with succession in action, ③ the necessity of decision unificasion etc. But I think that the grounds of the supreme court decision of 2019 go wrong. Therefore I conclude that their litigation-related rules Article 66 in Article 81 (Successor's Intervention) & Article 82 (Successor's Takeover of Lawsuit). This conclusion is suitable to korean civil procedeure, which founded on the principal of disposition & the adversarial system.
