Text
The judgment below is reversed and the case is remanded to Seoul High Court.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. The fact that Article 4 of the Act on the Ownership of Housing Sites (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") does not apply to housing sites owned by the State, local governments, the Korea Land Development Corporation, the Korea National Housing Corporation, or other government-invested institutions or public organizations as prescribed by the Presidential Decree, takes into account the special status and functions of the State, agencies, organizations, etc., and thus, even if other individuals or organizations acquire housing sites from the State, government-invested institutions, or public organizations listed above, they are used in the same manner as they were used before the transfer, the housing site shall be governed by the Act. The judgment of the court below to the same purport
2. Meanwhile, according to the reasoning of the lower judgment, the lower court rejected the Plaintiff’s assertion that the part of the site of the instant apartment among the instant land used as a parking lot in apartment residents and the management office is not subject to the imposition of an attached parking lot excluded from the housing site, on the ground that there is no legal basis to regard a part of the site of the instant apartment as an attached parking lot under the Parking Lot Act, on the grounds that the instant apartment was first stipulated in the Parking Lot Act promulgated on April 17, 1979, and there is no transitional provision regarding the standards for the annexed parking lot applicable to the building constructed prior to its enforcement.
However, according to Article 2 subparag. 1(b) and Article 19 subparag. 2 of the Act, Article 3 subparag. 5 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act (amended by Presidential Decree No. 13882, May 10, 1993), Article 19 of the Parking Lot Act, and Article 6 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, etc., an excess share of ownership charges shall be imposed on land which is not constructed among land owned by a corporation, the land category of which is a site. Of them, land within the minimum standard area under Article 6 of the Enforcement Decree of the Parking Lot Act, which is an attached parking lot under the same Act, shall be excluded from its subject of imposition. In order to achieve the purpose of the Act (Article 1 of the Act), the imposition of excess share charges shall be imposed on land which is not constructed on a permanent building among land owned by a corporation, the land category of which is a site, and the imposition of charges on the parking lot shall be excluded from the imposition of the charges on the parking lot under Article 19 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act.
Therefore, the judgment of the court below is erroneous in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the scope of annexed parking lots excluded from the land stipulated in the Act, which affected the conclusion of the judgment.
3. Therefore, the lower judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the lower court. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
