Reasons

There is no dispute between the parties on the facts that the registration of ownership transfer was passed by Defendant 2 against Seodaemun-gu, Seoul (hereinafter referred to as "the land in this case") 352 156 o-dong, Seodaemun-gu.

The plaintiff's assertion was originally owned by the non-party 1 of the court below. The non-party 1 of the court below asserted that the non-party 2 of the court below and the non-party 1 of the court below claiming the sale of the land in collusion with the defendant 2 of Sep. 23, 1963, when the non-party 1 did not follow the procedure for the registration of ownership transfer to the plaintiff on December 1, 1943, since the private teaching institute purchased the land in front of the same defendant's school site and playground as the land in front of the same defendant's school site and playground operated by the same defendant on December 1, 1943, and used it. The plaintiff's claim against the non-party 1 of the court below as a result of the plaintiff's non-party 1's non-party 2 of the court below's non-party 1's claim for the registration of ownership transfer, such as the cancellation of the above false registration and the statement of the purport of the claim, were the most void of the registration.

Then, the plaintiff asserted that the plaintiff continued to occupy the land of this case on December 1, 1943 and acquired it on March 12, 1957 and sold it to the plaintiff on March 12, 1957. The plaintiff transferred it to the plaintiff on March 12, 1963. Thus, considering the testimony of non-party 2 and non-party 3 of the court below and the trial witness non-party 3, the land of this case was originally owned by the non-party 1 of the court below, and used it as a practical training place on December 1, 1943. Since it sold it to the plaintiff on March 12, 1957, the plaintiff cultivated it as a dry field with the plaintiff's acquisition on March 12, 1967, and the plaintiff continued to occupy it for 20 years by adding up the former possession to the right of public performance by December 1, 1963.

Therefore, the plaintiff should have the right to file a claim for the registration of ownership transfer with defendant 2 upon completion of the acquisition by prescription (the acquisition by prescription shall be deemed to have been completed on the theoretical basis of the acquisition by prescription). However, as to this point, defendant 2 purchased the land from defendant 1 on September 23, 1963 before the completion of the above acquisition by prescription, and passed the registration of ownership transfer. Although the plaintiff asserted that it cannot be asserted against the defendant without registration, the sale and purchase of real estate or transit through the registration of ownership transfer cannot be asserted against the defendant, and the title holder at the time of the completion of the acquisition by prescription is at a disadvantage (see Supreme Court Decision 60Da440, Dec. 15, 1960). According to the above reasoning, the plaintiff's assertion that the plaintiff's claim for the acquisition by prescription cannot be acquired as long as it did not pass through the registration even if the plaintiff completed the acquisition by prescription, it cannot be asserted that the plaintiff's claim for the change of ownership transfer of farmland under the former Farmland Act is without merit.

(1) According to the testimony of the non-party 2, the plaintiff used this case as school practice after the purchase of the private teaching institute instead of the foundation foundation, and used it as farmland after the defendant acquired for 2,3 years ago. Thus, the issue is whether to require certification of farmland sale pursuant to Article 9 (2) of the Farmland Reform Act, but the above certification pursuant to the Farmland Reform Act is necessary for all cases where the ownership of farmland is changed by the party's intent (see Supreme Court Decision 9Da11, 8, 1962, Supreme Court Decision 62Da602, Nov. 8, 1962, Supreme Court Decision 62Da602, Nov. 8, 1962, Supreme Court Decision 62Da602, etc.). Thus, the plaintiff's conjunctive claim on this point is justified. However, if the plaintiff's conjunctive foundation did not pass through the registration of ownership transfer due to the purchase and sale of the land, the plaintiff's conjunctive claim on the land which was the object of the transfer of ownership transfer.

Therefore, the judgment of the court that shares the same conclusion is just and the appeal by the plaintiff and the defendant 2 are without merit, and they are dismissed by Article 384 of the Civil Procedure Act, and the costs of the lawsuit are borne by them are assessed as per Disposition by applying Articles 95 and 89 of the same Act.
