Central Land Tribunal and one other

Seoul High Court Decision 96Gu10463 delivered on May 7, 1997

The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.

We examine the grounds of appeal.

1. Regarding ground of appeal No. 1

According to the provisions of Articles 73 through 75-2 of the Land Expropriation Act, if there is an objection against the adjudication by the Central Land Expropriation Committee or the local Land Expropriation Committee, the objection shall be filed within one month from the date of receiving the original copy of the adjudication, and if there is an objection against the said adjudication by the Central Land Expropriation Committee, the said adjudication shall be filed within one month from the date of receiving the written adjudication.

According to the reasoning of the judgment below, when the plaintiff filed the lawsuit of this case on April 1, 1996, the court below acknowledged that the Central Land Expropriation Committee's decision on October 10, 1995 on the expropriation of this case applied for the payment of increased compensation under the premise of cancellation of the part concerning the goods subject to expropriation of this case and cancellation thereof, on the ground that the part concerning the expropriation of this case, which was owned by the plaintiff, was illegal, and the Central Land Expropriation Committee and the defendant Republic of Korea, made an objection against the defendant Central Land Expropriation Committee's decision on May 7, 1996, which partly accepted the plaintiff's objection, and its ruling was delivered to the plaintiff on October 16, 1996, the court below rejected the plaintiff's claim for cancellation of the adjudication of this case and its legal reasoning on the ground that the plaintiff's claim for cancellation of the adjudication as to the above part of this case's claim for cancellation of the adjudication and its legal reasoning cannot be viewed as unlawful.

The Supreme Court Decision 95Nu7949 Decided December 10, 1996 pointing out in the grounds of appeal is not appropriate to invoke the case as it differs from this case. Thus, the argument on this point is not acceptable.

2. Regarding ground of appeal No. 2

Whether the period of filing a lawsuit is complied with or not as a matter of ex officio investigation, and the court must investigate and determine ex officio (see Supreme Court Decision 82Nu7 delivered on December 28, 1982). Thus, it cannot be said that the defendant asserted that the period of filing a lawsuit of this case was too too late, or that the court below rejected the lawsuit of this case due to the lapse of the period of filing a lawsuit of this case, and that it did not violate the good faith principle.

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.
