The same shall apply to the order.

A. On April 12, 2005, the plaintiffs listed in the list of [Attachment 1] reported to the defendant on the last hand pursuant to Article 44(1) of the Fisheries Act in order to make the first hand hand hand-on fishery business at the sea level of the Mayang-si. However, on April 14, 2005, the defendant refused to accept the first hand-on fishery business report on the ground that all waters subject to the first hand-on fishery business were designated as designated ports (trade ports) or regional industrial complexes under the provisions of Article 44 of the Harbor Act and Article 12 of the Industrial Sites and Development Act. The first hand-on fishery business report on April 14, 2005 was limited under the provisions of Article 44 of the Harbor Act and Article 12 of the Industrial Sites and Development Act. The first hand-on fishery business report on the ground that there was no reported fish business area under Article 44 of the Fisheries Act.

B. Around May 17, 2005, the plaintiffs listed in the annexed list (2) as stated in the annexed list (3) corrected the area of operation around June 8, 2005 to the tide area in the Do-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-si-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-ri-si (hereinafter referred to as the "fishing-ri-ri-si) to the next list of the plaintiffs, who filed a report on fisheries on June 17, 2005, respectively, on June 10, 2005.

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1 and 3 evidence 1, 2, 3, Gap 4-2, 3, Gap 9-1 to 153, and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Determination on this safety defense

The defendant asserts that the revocation claim against the above disposition filed on August 8, 2005 is unlawful, because the notice was sent on April 14, 2005 as to the disposition rejecting the first hand fishery report on April 14, 2005, and reached the relevant plaintiffs around that time, the 90 days thereafter was far more than 90 days later than the filing date.

Therefore, the defendant is a person who has sent the above notice by ordinary mail, not by registered mail. The fact that the notice was sent by ordinary mail is insufficient to recognize that it has reached it within a considerable period of time (Supreme Court Decision 92Da2530 delivered on May 11, 1993), and there is no evidence to support that the above notice was sent from August 8, 2005 to the relevant plaintiffs before 90 days. Thus, the defendant's above assertion is rejected.

3. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiffs' assertion

① Article 44 of the Harbor Act and Article 12 of the Industrial Sites and Development Act do not impose any restrictions on the first hand fishing business. Despite the Defendant’s absence of compensation for the first hand fishing right by the Plaintiffs, the Defendant asserts that the Defendant’s act of fishing has been restricted pursuant to the provisions of Article 44 of the Harbor Act and Article 12 of the Industrial Sites and Development Act, and that the Defendant’s disposition on April 14, 2005, on the ground that the first hand fishing compensation due to the development of the second hand fishing and the first hand fishing and the first hand fishing have been completed with respect to the waters subject to the first hand fishing, was unlawful. ② The instant disposition on the first hand on the ground that the Defendant’s disposal on April 14, 2005 was unlawful, and ② the instant fishing area constitutes the sea area to which the Fisheries Act applies, which constitutes the sea area to which the Defendant applied, the first hand fishing and the first hand fishing of the Plaintiff’s 20,000 first hand, which had been designated by the Governor.

D. Determination

(1) As to the disposition dated April 14, 2005

Article 44 subparag. 3 of the Harbor Act and Article 31 subparag. 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act prohibit the act of gathering and transplanting fishery products in a harbor. Since the plaintiffs listed in the annexed Table No. 1 are seen above that the surface of the sea level in the lightyang city that applied for the formation of a fishing zone on April 8, 2005 was designated as a designated port (trade port), the defendant's disposition on April 14, 2005 should be lawful.

(2) As to each disposition dated June 3, 2005 and June 10, 2005

Article 3 of the Fisheries Act provides that "this Act shall apply to the sea, the seaside and the sea surface of land artificially created for the purpose of the fishery", and Article 2 subparagraph 9 of the same Act provides that "the seaside means the space between the land registered in the cadastral record from the high-water line", and Articles 2 and 5 of the Cadastral Act classify the river into the types of land to be registered in the cadastral record, and Article 7 of the River Act prescribes that the head of the related agency shall designate and announce the river area.

In addition, Article 2 of the Inland Water Fisheries Act provides that "inland waters refer to rivers, dams, lakes, marshes, reservoirs, and other artificially created fresh water or raid water, and Article 22 of the same Act provides that, except as provided in the Inland Water Fisheries Act, the relevant provisions of the Fisheries Act shall apply mutatis mutandis. Article 2 of the Act on the Management of Water-Sharing Waters separates public waters into sea beaches and private waters, and Article 2 of the Water Leisure Safety Act separates sea water and inland water.

In light of the contents and the system of these related regulations, the Inland Water Fisheries Act is related to the Fisheries Act, so that the area designated as a river area under the River Act is a land on the public land register under the Cadastral Act and the Inland Water Fisheries Act is applied first and the Fisheries Act is excluded.

If the Fisheries Act can only be applied to the business of gathering shellfish under the Inland Water Fisheries Act without permission if it is possible to do so for the business of gathering shellfish in a general river area which is not the balance station where fresh water and seawater crosss, compared with those where it is possible to do so without permission under the Inland Water Fisheries Act. In addition, in the case of a license, permit, and report for inland fishery in accordance with the provisions of Article 12 of the Inland Water Fisheries Act, it is necessary to consult with the water surface manager in advance at the time of permission or report, but in the case of the application of the Fisheries Act to the waterside area designated as a river, it is difficult to promote the improvement plan or water control plan of the river, etc. established by the water surface management agency without consultation with the water surface manager at the time of permission or report, and in fact, if the Fisheries Act is applied to the area where seawater reaches the water surface of the river, it is difficult to prevent the application of the Inland Water Fisheries Act and the Fisheries Act from being applied to the area where the water surface of the river reaches the water surface.

Therefore, the defendant's refusal to accept a fishery report under Article 44 of the Fisheries Act on June 3, 2005 and June 10, 2005 on the instant fishing zone designated as a local second-class river area shall be deemed lawful, and even if the defendant had accepted a fishery report on the opposite part of the instant fishing zone or on the inland waters under the downstream of the said area, the plaintiffs cannot demand equal treatment against the defendant. Thus, it is difficult to view that the above disposition by the defendant is contrary to the principle of trust protection or the principle of equality.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claim of this case shall be dismissed due to the lack of reason, and since the decision of the court of first instance is unfair with different conclusions, it shall be revoked and all of the plaintiffs' claims shall be dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
