The judgment below

The part concerning the conjunctive claim is reversed, and this part of the case is remanded to the Seoul Southern District Court.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined.

1. Even if a transferee of a building unregistered as to the grounds of appeal on the primary claim, is unable to acquire the ownership of the building unless the registration of ownership transfer is completed, and it is difficult to recognize any comprehensive right or legal status, such as the de facto ownership or the right to use and benefit equivalent to the ownership.

(See Supreme Court Decision 94Da53006 Decided June 14, 1996, Supreme Court Decision 2006Da490000 Decided October 27, 2006, Supreme Court Decision 2005Da41153 Decided July 10, 2008, etc.).

2. As to the grounds of appeal on the conjunctive claim, the lower court held that (1) a person who purchased a unregistered building shall register the ownership transfer after completing the registration of ownership transfer in the name of its original owner, and thus, in order to execute the execution upon winning a favorable judgment in relation to the instant conjunctive claim seeking the implementation of the procedure for registration of ownership transfer, the Plaintiff’s registration of ownership preservation on the instant building
