Text
All appeals are dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiffs.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
The approval of the Defendant administrative agency under Article 41 of the Urban Redevelopment Act is a supplement to complete the legal effect of the management and disposal plan of the Housing Redevelopment Cooperatives, and where there exists a defect in the basic management and disposal plan, even if there exists a defect in the basic act, the management and disposal plan, which is a basic act, shall not be deemed valid. However, if there exists a defect in the basic act itself, which is a lawful and effective and complementary act, it can be asserted the invalidation or cancellation of the approval disposition. However, if there is no defect in the basic act, even if there is no defect in the basic act, it shall not be deemed that there is a legal interest in filing a lawsuit to revoke or nullify the approval disposition of the Defendant administrative agency, on the ground that the basic act is null and void (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 92Nu15482, Apr. 23, 1993; 7Nu38, Aug. 23, 1977). The reasoning of the court below is without merit in its conclusion that there is no legitimate interest in the grounds of appeal.
Therefore, all appeals of this case are dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the appellant. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
