[1] The "sale and purchase" as stipulated in Article 574 of the Civil Code refers to the case where the parties set the price on the basis of the volume of the specific goods which are the object of the sale and purchase based on the proposal that the parties have a certain quantity. Thus, even if the parties have determined the purchase price by the method of specifying the object in accordance with the ordinary number on the public registry and multiplying the unit area value by the area on the public registry, such circumstance alone does not immediately mean that the sale and purchase of the land is "the sale and purchase by designating the quantity". If the parties have evaluated the designated division as a whole and the calculation by the ordinary number is only one standard, it is not "the sale and purchase by designating the quantity". On the other hand, if the purchaser believed that there is a certain area, it is the most important factor in the determination of the price, and if the parties have determined the price based on the objective value, the sale and purchase should be "the sale and purchase by designating the quantity".

Seoul High Court Decision 97Na32897 delivered on February 3, 1998
The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.
We examine the Plaintiff’s ground of appeal.
1. On the first ground for appeal
The "sale and purchase" under Article 574 of the Civil Code refers to a case where the parties have set the price on the basis of the volume of the specific goods which are the object of the sale and purchase at a certain quantity. Thus, even if the parties have determined the price of the land by the method of multiplying the unit area by the size on the registry book, the sale and purchase of the land can not be regarded as "the sale and purchase of the land by the method of multiplying the unit area by the size on the registry book." If the parties have determined the price of the land by the method of multiplying the unit area by the size on the registry book, the sale and purchase of the land can not be regarded as "the sale and purchase by the parties" merely because the designated division was evaluated as a whole and the calculation by the usual number was only one standard, so it is not "the sale and purchase by the parties" designated as "the sale and purchase by the parties" (see Supreme Court Decision 92Da5674 delivered on June 25, 1993). On the other hand, if the purchaser believed that there was a certain area, it should be the sale and sale price.
According to the reasoning of the judgment below, at the time when the plaintiff and the defendant entered into the sales contract for the land of this case, the court below stated the size of the object to be sold as '834 square meters (252 square meters)' according to the entry on the register of real estate injury, and decided 370 million won in the above area multiplied by the amount of 1.5 million won per square meter and the purchase price of this case was reduced by 1.5 million won, and found as a result of the survey that the actual area of the land of this case was 746 square meters, but the land of this case is divided into roads, miscellaneous trees, housing, etc., and the actual area of the land of this case was confirmed as 746 square meters. However, since the plaintiff confirmed that the land of this case was located in two times prior to the conclusion of the sales contract of this case, the sale and purchase of the land of this case cannot be deemed as 'the designated volume', and there is no error of law such as misunderstanding of facts or misunderstanding of legal principles as alleged in the grounds for appeal.
2. On the second ground for appeal
In comparison with the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below's rejection of the plaintiff's assertion on the premise that there is no evidence to prove that there was an agreement between the plaintiff and the defendant to settle the amount equivalent to the difference between the land area on the public register and the real area in the purchase price is just and there is no error of law such as misunderstanding of facts against the rules of evidence. There
3. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and all 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.
