Judgment of the lower court

Seoul High Court Decision 79Gu52 delivered on October 28, 1980

Text

The judgment below is reversed and the case is remanded to Seoul High Court.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. In its reasoning, the court below rejected the plaintiff's request for re-assessment on August 19, 1978. The plaintiff filed a request for re-assessment on September 29 of the same year, and the plaintiff who received the request for re-determination on October 6 of the same year was 10.31 of the same year via the Seoul Special Metropolitan City Mayor, and the Minister of Home Affairs rendered a decision to dismiss the request as 12.28 of the same year. The Minister of Home Affairs can recognize that he sent the notice of postponement of decision period to the plaintiff as 1.30th of the same year before the decision was made, and the Minister of Home Affairs, pursuant to Article 58 (5) of the Local Tax Act, should have made a decision on the request for re-determination from October 31, 1978 to 30 days after the date on which the request for re-determination was received, and therefore, the plaintiff did not file a lawsuit within the period of 30 days after the dismissal of the request.

2. According to Article 59 of the Local Tax Act, calculation of the period prescribed by this Act or Municipal Ordinance based on this Act shall be governed by the Civil Act, and the calculation of the period shall not be based on the first day (see Article 157 of the Civil Act). As seen above, if the date of receiving a written request for examination (see Article 46-2 (2) of the Enforcement Decree of the Local Tax Act) by the Minister of Home Affairs is October 31, 1978, 30 days, which are the review period of the Minister of Home Affairs pursuant to Article 38 and Article 5 of the Local Tax Act, are expired as of November 30, 1978. Thus, the court below's decision that the review period of the Minister of Home Affairs had been extended until November 29, 1978, which is within the review period of the Ministry of Home Affairs, shall not be deemed unlawful. In addition, it shall be deemed that the court below's decision that the review period had been extended within 197 days after the date of review, which is 197 days.

Therefore, the judgment of the court below is reversed by the assent of all participating Justices.
