The Supreme Court upheld the lower court's decision to reject the defendant's appeal due to insufficient court fees. The plaintiff sued multiple defendants as formal co-plaintiffs, while the defendants acted as material co-defendants under joint liability. The court ruled that fees for the plaintiff are calculated separately per person, whereas fees for the defendants are based on the total claim value regardless of their number.
