Here is the translation:
1. Subject of Dispute: Recovery of legal expenses for legal assistance from the plaintiff in favor of the defendant in a case of leaving the claim without consideration.
2. Main Arguments of the Court:
The Supreme Court indicated that to recover legal expenses, the defendant must prove the groundlessness of the plaintiff’s actions. The courts of previous instances did not establish specific groundless actions of the plaintiff, but merely stated the fact of leaving the claim without consideration. The courts need to thoroughly clarify the specific nature of the plaintiff’s groundless actions and whether he had malicious intent.
3. Court Decision: Revoke the decisions of previous instances and refer the case for a new hearing to thoroughly establish the circumstances of the groundlessness of the plaintiff’s actions.
