The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. As to the Plaintiff’s ground of appeal Nos. 1 and 2, and Plaintiff’s ground of appeal No. 2
Unless there is any counter-proof such as the change in the content of the land by the adjudication, the person who was registered as the owner in the Land Survey Division or the Forest Survey Division shall be presumed to have become the owner of the land and the circumstance thereof shall be presumed to have become final and conclusive. Since the person who received the land’s circumstance shall acquire the land in a timely manner (see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 83Meu1152, Jan. 24, 1984; Supreme Court Decision 84Meu173, Jun. 10, 1986; Supreme Court Decision 96Da17127, Jul. 30, 196; 96Da17127, 17134, etc.) and there is no need to prove the developments leading up to the acquisition of the land prior to the fact of title trust in addition to the fact of the circumstance. On the other hand, even if the person asserts that he was under a trust circumstance in the name of another person, this cannot be deemed to constitute a new title trust acquisition.
Since the land in this case was the land under the name of Defendant 1, the deceased non-party 1, the heir of the above non-party 1, the defendant 1 does not need to prove the reason for its acquisition. Rather, the plaintiff, who is the ownership of the plaintiff's clan, was trusted to the above non-party 1, bears the burden of proving the facts of title trust. According to the records, even though the land in this case was the property of the non-party 2 and the non-party 3, the deceased non-party 1, the deceased non-party 1, who was the deceased non-party 1's supporting father, purchased the land again in his own name, it cannot be viewed as the denial of the plaintiff's claim for title trust because it was about the facts prior to the land situation, and it cannot be viewed as the ground for rejection of the plaintiff's claim for the above facts that the court below rejected the plaintiff's claim under the name of the non-party 1 as the ownership of the land in this case.
2. As to the Plaintiff’s ground of appeal Nos. 3 and 4, Plaintiff’s ground of appeal Nos. 1, 3, 4, and 5
In order to recognize that a piece of land is owned by a clan and was trusted to another person under the name of the clan at the time of the circumstance, it can be recognized only when there are many indirect materials that can only be recognized as belonging to a clan prior to the situation where a certain degree of organic organization exists at the time of the circumstance, or where there are many kinds of indirect materials that can be recognized as belonging to the clan prior to the circumstance that the process or content of the land was proved or delayed as belonging to the clan, or that such materials are not sufficiently proved and there are more materials about facts opposed to the clans, it shall not be recognized if there are not sufficient proof of such materials, (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 94Da29782, Oct. 25, 1994; 96Da9560, Feb. 25, 1997). Also, the indirect materials are likely to be used, and if several persons are related to the clans or their names, the relation of the clans or the amount of the land to be registered in their name, the payment of the grave or the status of the land, the deceased.
In light of the records, although the above circumstances are insufficient in the court below's comprehensive examination, it is legitimate to reject the plaintiff's assertion that the plaintiff's clan existed as a clan with an organic organization to a certain extent at the time of the situation of the land of this case and that the land of this case was trusted in the name of the deceased non-party 1, who is the father of the defendant 1, as the ownership of the plaintiff's clan, due to lack of evidence to presume that the plaintiff's assertion was justifiable, and there is no error of law such as misconception of facts or omission of judgment by erroneously interpreting the reasoning, contradiction or lack of reason in finding facts as to the formation of the clan's property and the establishment of title trust, such as the theory of lawsuit, or by interpreting the precedents without sufficient deliberation. There is no reason
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.
