Judgment of the lower court

Seoul High Court Decision 2012Nu35773 Decided September 27, 2013

Imposition of Judgment

February 13, 2014

Text

All appeals are dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiffs.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

In citing the reasoning of the judgment of the first instance, the lower court determined that the disposition of this case is lawful, based on the following circumstances: (a) the Plaintiff sold shares Nos. 1 and 2 of this case from 2006 to 2009 and the Plaintiff B, the husband, for four times in total, from December 31, 2006 to December 31, 2009; and (b) the Plaintiff, the husband, for three times in total, paid OOB out of the remainder of the proceeds from the sale to April 23, 2009 (hereinafter referred to as “each payment of this case”), and in light of the circumstances stated in its reasoning, the Plaintiffs cannot be deemed to have received each payment of this case as proceeds from investment or joint property of the husband and wife, and the gift tax was imposed on the Plaintiffs.

Examining the records in light of the relevant legal principles, the above determination by the court below is acceptable. Contrary to the allegations in the grounds of appeal, there were no errors by recognizing facts in violation of logical and empirical rules or by misapprehending the legal principles on return of investment proceeds, title trust of shares under a joint investment agreement, or joint property of the couple.

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