2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Defendant asserted that the Plaintiff’s adoption was not genuine, but C adopted the Plaintiff as a genuine will for 10 years, referring to himself.

Around May 2018, at the time when the Defendant’s employee met C for an investigation upon the instant application, the Defendant respondeded to the effect that C denies the adoption. However, this led to an erroneous statement made by C due to psychological stress, where C was suffering from cerebral blood and sporadic dementia symptoms due to psychological stress.

Since the plaintiff satisfies the requirements for special naturalization under Article 7 of the Nationality Act, the disposition of this case in this case must be revoked due to the misunderstanding of facts.
