2. Determination

A. According to the above facts, the Plaintiff, a co-owner of each real estate of this case, may file a claim for partition against the Defendants, who are other co-owners, pursuant to Article 269(1) of the Civil Act.

B. Legal principles relating to the partition of co-owned property 1) In the event of dividing the co-owned property through a trial because co-owners fail to reach an agreement, in principle, it is possible to divide the co-owned property in kind. If it is impossible to divide the co-owned property in kind or the value thereof is likely to be significantly reduced due to the division in kind, the court may sell the co-owned property by auction and divide it (Article 269 of the Civil Act). In light of the legal principles as seen earlier, it is reasonable to acquire the pertinent co-owned property to a specific person, comprehensively taking into account the causes of the co-ownership relationship, the ratio of co-owned shares, the economic value of the co-ownership in the case of division, and the wishes of co-owners as to the method of division. In special circumstances where acquiring the price of the co-owned property to another co-owner is deemed not detrimental to the substantial fairness of the co-owner, it is permitted to acquire it from one co-owner or several co-owners, but the co-owners who own the property in kind are entitled to compensation for the other co-owners in kind.
