Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
In full view of the provisions of Article 29(1), Article 29(2), 2, 3, and 5 of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory and Article 48(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, in case of expropriation of land in an area where the standard land price is publicly announced, compensation for losses should be calculated on the basis of the standard land price for the standard land by category of land in which land is previously, paddy field, site, forest land, and miscellaneous land. It is not appropriate that the compensation amount should be calculated on the basis of the standard land price for the standard land by category of land in which land is not the standard land price, but the standard land price for the standard land in neighboring
Therefore, in the same purport, even though the land category of the land to be expropriated in this case is forest and field, the court below's determination of the compensation amount based on the standard land price of neighboring land is correct and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as otherwise alleged.
Article 18 (2) of the former Enforcement Rule of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory (amended by Act No. 419 of May 21, 1987) provides that the land category of the land to be expropriated shall be excluded from the application of the former Enforcement Rule of the Act on the Utilization and Management of the National Territory in the case of land subject to expropriation, paddy field
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
