Text
The reappeal is dismissed.
Reasons
The grounds of reappeal are examined.
Article 633 subparagraph 6 of the current Civil Procedure Act lists one of the grounds for an objection to a successful bid, where there is a serious defect in the determination of the minimum auction price. In order to establish a serious defect in the determination of the minimum auction price, there must be circumstances such as the decision in violation of the procedure prescribed by law or the decision based on the qualification or evaluation method of an appraiser, and the reason that the appraisal price and the minimum auction price determined by the appraisal are very low shall not be a ground for objection. However, if the appraised price calculated by appraisal are remarkably contrary to the general standards of appraisal or it is deemed that there is a significant defect in the determination of the minimum auction price, such reason alone shall be deemed that there is a serious defect in the determination of the minimum auction price.
According to the records, an appraiser who assessed the price of the land of this case was not only 5 percent of the secured debt or the sale price of the land of this case, but also 53,461,200 won per 7,800 square meters as of November 20, 1992 without any reasonable ground. The auction court determined the above appraised price of this case at the minimum auction price of 72,00,000 won as of June 4, 1987, and the sale price of this case was 19,000 won under the name of 10,000 won as of October 14, 1987, and the appraisal price of this case was 19,50,000 won under the name of 10,000 won as of October 5, 1989, and the appraisal price of this case was 10,000 won under the name of 10,000 won as of August 10, 1989.
All arguments are without merit.
Therefore, the reappeal is dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
