A. As to the first ground for appeal

Whether the deposit of the compensation for expropriation pursuant to the Land Expropriation Act is valid is determined by whether the requirements prescribed in Article 61(2) of the same Act and the Deposit Act are met, and the deposit cannot be deemed as valid as a matter of course on the ground that the adjudication of expropriation, which is the premise of deposit, is valid. The Supreme Court precedents cited in the theory of lawsuit, are not appropriate for this case where the issue is different. There is no reason to discuss.

B. Regarding ground of appeal No. 2

If a public project operator deposits compensation in accordance with the expropriation ruling, if the deposit becomes null and void, the expropriation ruling becomes null and void because the public project operator under Article 65 of the Land Expropriation Act did not pay or deposit compensation by the time of expropriation (see Supreme Court Decision 85Nu280 delivered on August 19, 1986, Supreme Court Decision 89Nu879 delivered on August 8, 1989), and therefore, the public project operator cannot acquire the ownership of the land concerned.

The judgment of the court below to the same purport is just, and there is no reason to interpret the legal principles as in the judgment of the court below.

C. Regarding ground of appeal No. 3

According to the facts duly established by the court below, the defendant changed the defendant's registered address on December 24, 1990 on the defendant's registry on December 24, 1990 before the decision to expropriate the land of this case was made, from "Seoul Dongdaemun-gu ( Address 1 omitted)" to "Seoul Dongdaemun-gu (Road 2 omitted) where the defendant actually resides," and the Mayor of Seoul Metropolitan Government deposited the compensation for expropriation under the decision to expropriate on December 24, 1991 as the defendant's address is unknown, and if the facts are the same, the deposit is invalid because the above requirements are insufficient, and the procedure for expropriation has been conducted as "Seoul Dongdaemun-gu (Road 1 omitted) prior to the registration of change of the defendant's address." The judgment of the court below is just, and there is no violation of law such as the theory of lawsuit in the judgment of the court below.

The Supreme Court precedents cited by the theory of lawsuit are not appropriate for the instant case, which differs from the case. There is no reason for both the discussion.

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