Summary of Judgment

A. Article 422(1)7 of the Civil Procedure Act provides that a witness’s false statement, which is a ground for retrial, becomes a evidence of the judgment, constitutes a case where there is a possibility that if there was no false statement without any direct or indirect evidence, the text of the judgment would vary. Thus, if only the remaining evidence except the false statement, does not affect the text of the judgment, it does not constitute a ground for retrial even if the false statement was received a final judgment of conviction due to perjury.

B. The real estate in the Republic of Korea, which had been registered in the name of the Japanese government, prior to the piracy, is reverted to the property, and the so-called state-owned administrative property devolved to the Government of the Republic of Korea under Article 1 of the first Agreement on the Finance and Property between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America, which came into force on September 20, 1948, refers only to the property owned in Japan under the jurisdiction of the Department of

However, only with respect to a nationalization plan, the above procedure may be taken and individual implementation may be entrusted to the relevant administration, and the above procedure may be taken with respect to the nationalization of reverted property, and if the procedure is followed in any way, it satisfies the requirements of Article 4(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the Act on the Disposal of Property Belonging

Seoul High Court Decision 80Na9 delivered on November 4, 1981

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal shall be borne by the plaintiff (defendant).

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. As to No. 1:

Article 422(1)7 of the Civil Procedure Act provides a witness’s false statement, which is a ground for retrial, as evidence for fact-finding that affects the text of the judgment, refers to a case where the witness’s false statement, which is a ground for retrial under Article 422(1)7 of the Civil Procedure Act, is provided as material for fact-finding. It includes not only direct evidence which serves as material for fact-finding, but also indirect evidence. If there is a probable possibility that the text of the judgment would change if there was no false statement. Thus, if only the remaining evidence, except the false statement, does not affect the text of the judgment, it does not constitute a ground for retrial even if the witness received a final judgment of conviction due to perjury. However, even if it is found by the remaining evidence other than the false statement, it does not constitute a ground for retrial even if it still arrived at the same conclusion as the judgment of the retrial court (see Supreme Court Decision 72Da63, Jun. 27, 1972; 74Da164381, Jul. 21, 1972).

2. As to subparagraph 2 (including the supplementary statement in the grounds of appeal):

The real estate in the Republic of Korea, which had been registered in the name of the Japanese government since before the 1st century, is a property devolving upon the government of the Republic of Korea under Article 33 of the Military Affairs Act and Article 2 of the Act on the Disposal of Property Belonging to the State of the Government of the Republic of Korea under Article 5 of the first Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Korea and the Government of the United States. The so-called state-owned administrative property devolved to the Government of the Republic of Korea under Article 1 of the first Agreement shall refer only to the property belonging to Japan under the jurisdiction of the Government of the Republic of Korea before the 19th National Assembly (see Supreme Court Decision 66Da2323, Jan. 27, 197). The decision of the court below that the forest land in the Republic of Korea, which had been registered in the name of the Japanese government in the name of the head of the 19th National Assembly, shall belong to the State-owned property belonging to the Government of the Republic of Korea under Article 1 of the first Agreement, and thus, shall belong to the State-owned property.

3. As to No. 3:

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of the appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
