In the same purport, the court below determined that the management body meeting of the building of this case, which is an aggregate building, designated the plaintiff to file the lawsuit of this case against the defendants in the position of the sectional owner, and confirmed the resolution, and rejected the defendants' defense to the effect that the plaintiff is not a party to the lawsuit of this case is just and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the party standing, such as the theory of lawsuit, and unlike the above opinion, the legal entity under Article 43 of the above Act is only the management body and the sectional owner is not an individual, so even if the sectional owner is designated by the resolution of the management body meeting, he shall have the right to perform the lawsuit as the representative of

Of the above 60 percent completion of the sale in lots or rent, the above 10th floor area is used as the office with the exception of the 10th floor area sold to the above defendants. The above 10th floor area is constructed as 718.27 square meters above so that the total area of the 10th floor area of the above 10th floor and the 120th floor area of the above 1st floor installed as the office, and the 1nd floor area of the above 1 to 3rd unit installed as well as the 1 to 4th unit of the above building.

In light of the records, the above fact-finding and judgment of the court below are just, and there are no errors in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to Article 43(1) and Article 5(1) of the above Act or the misapprehension of the legal principles as to Article 43(1) of the above Act.
