As such, Defendants shall jointly and severally compensate for the damages suffered by the Plaintiff, as follows.

(5) The amount of loss in farming for two years calculated by applying mutatis mutandis Article 77 of the Act on Acquisition of and Compensation for Land, etc. for Public Works Projects and Article 48 of the Enforcement Rule of the same Act, which shall apply to the loss in farming for two years, calculated by losing the opportunity for farming by unilateral termination of the contract of the defendant Republic of Korea.

B. The Defendants

Of the damages alleged by the plaintiff, ① the period of one year from the effective date of the loan agreement of this case until April 15, 2009, when the termination notice takes effect, the plaintiff could sufficiently cultivate the land of this case and profit from the land of this case. ② through (4) losses are merely incurred by the plaintiff for his own business, and they are not in the nature of returning all. ⑤ The compensation of damages and its scope shall be calculated by considering that the defendant was due to lawful exercise of the right of termination based on the loan agreement concluded with the plaintiff as a private economic activity, and the provisions concerning expropriation under the public law, which are conducted regardless of the intention of the parties, shall not apply to this case by analogy. In addition, the defendant Korea Land and Housing Corporation is merely an agent of the defendant Republic of Korea, and the plaintiff's claim against the defendant Korea Land and Housing Corporation is not a party to

3. Determination

A. Claim against Defendant Republic of Korea

(1) As the instant land was determined as a site for creating environment-friendly leisure green belt promoted by Defendant Republic of Korea, Defendant Republic of Korea terminated the instant loan agreement around April 8, 2009, Defendant Republic of Korea is obligated to compensate the Plaintiff for damages incurred by the termination of the loan agreement pursuant to Article 7(2) and (1) of the instant loan agreement.

(2) Furthermore, the scope of damages can be seen as pertaining to the scope of damages.

(A) If a party to a contract knew or could know the other party of the expenses that the party has promised to perform, and if it belongs to the scope of ordinary expenses, he/she may also claim compensation within the scope of the benefit of performance. However, in cases where damages equivalent to such expenses are claimed as damages equivalent to the benefit of lost profit, it shall be deemed that the benefit of lost profit is limited to net profit after deducting all the expenses (see Supreme Court Decision 91Da29972 delivered on April 28, 1992).

(b) Expenditure costs

1) The fact that the Plaintiff paid rent of KRW 30,300,000 to the land of this case for one year does not conflict between the parties, but the above rent should be restored to its original state in return for the Plaintiff’s default, in accordance with the principle of termination of the contract, and the contract cannot be deemed as the expenses incurred by either party in beliefing the other party’s performance, and thus does not fall

2) According to Gap evidence 2, Gap evidence 3- 11, Eul evidence 4- 5, Gap evidence 6- 1, Gap evidence 8- 2, Gap evidence 1- 9- 10, Gap evidence 15-1 to 6, Eul evidence 20, Eul evidence 20- 18, Eul evidence 20- 20, Eul evidence 20- 24, Eul evidence 20-1 and Eul evidence 20-1 to 5-17, the plaintiff's total expenses were paid to non-party 1 and non-party 1's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 1's non-party 5's non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 1' and non-party 2's non-party 2's non-party 1's non-party 2's non-party 1's non-party 2's non-party 1'.

3) The Plaintiff sought payment of 15,325,200 won (63,855 won per South Korean portion per day x 20 days x 12 months x 12 months) of labor value, which the Plaintiff comprehensively manages the clearing of the instant land for one year, and puts illegally dumped garbage and gravel into the work, etc., but it is difficult to find that the Plaintiff suffered such loss even if it is based on the Plaintiff’s previous proof, it is difficult to find that the Plaintiff suffered such loss. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s claim for this part is without

(C) Future expectations;

According to Article 7 (1) and (2) of the loan agreement of this case, the defendant Republic of Korea does not compensate the plaintiff for any damage incurred to the plaintiff when the contract is terminated due to the plaintiff's circumstances, such as the plaintiff's violation of the contract clause. On the other hand, if the contract is terminated due to the necessity for public works, etc., it is decided that the land of this case is the site subject to environment-friendly leisure green belt creation project. Since the land of this case is terminated as the land of this case, it is necessary to conduct the work to improve the gradation and soil quality of the land in order to develop the gradity in good faith because it has not been cultivated for a considerable period of time. On the other hand, since the term of the loan agreement of this case was five years long-term, it is anticipated that the plaintiff can recover sufficient input costs and completed farming preparation by cultivating the land of this case for six months, it is reasonable to view that future profits suffered by the plaintiff due to the plaintiff's loss of farming opportunities due to the cancellation of the contract of this case

On the other hand, in the verification of future profits, the degree of certification is reduced compared to the degree of certification in the past facts, and it shall be deemed sufficient to prove profits with considerable probability within the extent of not losing the rationality and objectivity, rather than to prove specific and reliable profits that can be gained by creditors (see the above Supreme Court Decision 91Da2972, supra). In this case, as the land in this case was determined as the site subject to environment-friendly leisure green belt development projects, the damage was inflicted on the loss of farming rights due to the plaintiff's loss of farming rights, so Article 7 (2) of the Act on Acquisition of and Compensation for Land, etc. for Public Works Projects, Article 48 (1) of the Enforcement Rule of the Act on Acquisition of and Compensation for Land, etc. for Public Works Projects [referring to the farmland incorporated into a public-service project zone (referring to the land falling under subparagraph 1 (a) of Article 2 of the Farmland Act; hereafter the same shall apply in this Article and Article 65]; Article 38 (1) of the Enforcement Rule of the Act on Acquisition of and Compensation for Agricultural Villages City shall apply to the total of Gyeonggi-do.

However, in the case of this case, it is reasonable to view the amount calculated by multiplying the annual average of farm household per unit cultivated area of 56,198 square meters developed by the Plaintiff as damages in light of the overall circumstances revealed in the pleadings, such as the fact that the instant land under Article 7 of the instant loan agreement was agreed to allow the Plaintiff to terminate the contract where it is necessary for the public works, and the possibility of termination of the contract was predicted even as the Plaintiff could have been included in the total area of 68,199 square meters.

In calculating the amount of damages as seen above, 9,259,725 won [56,198 square meters of the reclaimed area among the land in this case 】 (2,2310,000 won of crops import ± 12,631.28 square meters of the current status of sample farmers in Gyeongbuk-do among the total income from agriculture in Gyeongbuk-do] is deemed as 9,259,725 won (the purpose of the entire arguments and arguments) (the evidence No. 222-2, 3 of this case and the purport of the whole pleadings).

B. Claim against the Korea Land and Housing Corporation

The Defendant Korea Land and Housing Corporation is not only a person who, under the instant loan agreement, entered into the said loan agreement on behalf of the Defendant Republic of Korea on behalf of the Plaintiff, but also as seen earlier, notified the Plaintiff of the fact that the instant land was one of the expected sites for creating leisure green areas. From April 1, 2009 to April 1, 2009, the date on which the instant land was finally selected as the site for the creation of leisure green areas. Thus, it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff was likely to terminate the instant loan agreement around March 2009. Thus, it is reasonable to deem that the Plaintiff was aware of the possibility that the instant loan agreement will be terminated. Since the notice of termination was made one week after the date on which the instant land was finally selected as the site for the creation of leisure green areas, it is difficult to deem that the said Defendant caused damages to the Plaintiff due to the termination of the said loan agreement. Thus, the Plaintiff’s claim against the Defendant Korea Land and Housing Corporation is without merit.

C. Sub-committee

Therefore, Defendant Republic of Korea is obligated to pay to the Plaintiff damages arising from the termination of the instant loan agreement (29,550,000 won +9,259,725 won) and damages for delay at each rate of 20% per annum under the Civil Act from June 2, 2009, which is the day following the date on which the Plaintiff demanded compensation for damages, until January 19, 201, the date on which the said Defendant rendered a reasonable judgment of the court of first instance, for the existence and scope of the obligation, until January 19, 201, and for the period from the next day to the date on which the full payment is made.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim against the defendant Korean Land and Housing Corporation shall be accepted within the extent of the above recognition, and the remaining claims shall be dismissed as without merit. The part against the defendant Korean Land and Housing Corporation in the judgment of the court of first instance shall be dismissed as it is without merit. Since the part against the defendant Korean Land and Housing Corporation in the judgment of the court of first instance is partially unfair, it shall be accepted as part of the plaintiff's appeal and incidental appeal against the defendant Korean Land and Housing Corporation, and the part against the defendant Korean Land and Housing Corporation shall be modified as above, and it is reasonable to conclude as to this.
