Text

Reasons

We examine the Plaintiff’s ground of appeal.

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below found that the deceased non-party 1, his wife, and non-party 2, and the non-party 3 did not have resident registration in Japan and had registered their residence in Japan, and that they continued to reside in Japan and went to school. The above non-party 4 and the plaintiff were frequently living in Japan to look at his domicile, and the above non-party 1 did not own a house for the purpose of residing in Japan until the time of the commencement of the inheritance tax even though they had sufficiently re-existent, and the above non-party 3 did not own a property in Japan at the time of the commencement of the inheritance tax, but the above non-party 4 and the non-party 1 did not have a legitimate legal reasoning as to inheritance tax and the non-party 1's accommodation in Korea as it did not constitute the above non-party 1's house at the time of the commencement of inheritance tax of this case. In full view of these facts, the court below found that the above non-party 1 and the above non-party 1's house were legitimate within Korea.

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.
