Judgment of the lower court

Seoul High Court Decision 96Na13875 delivered on November 12, 1996

Text

The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below acknowledged the fact that the contract of this case was based on evidence, and found that it was a "land transaction contract" under Article 21-3 (1) of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory, and its effect takes effect only after obtaining permission from the competent authority under the same Act, and it does not take effect before obtaining permission. However, if the contract of this case prior to obtaining permission is a contract which excludes or excludes permission from the beginning and is not effective, it shall be deemed that the contract is a contract which is based on the premise that permission should be granted (not a contract which excludes or excludes permission, but a contract which is not a contract which is not a contract of this case's contents.). Thus, if the transfer or establishment of rights such as ownership does not take effect at all until obtaining permission, the contract of this case becomes effective retroactively, and the above contract becomes null and void, and thus, the above contract shall be returned to the plaintiff as an unjust enrichment within the scope of KRW 150,000,00,00.

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.
