Reasons
As to the Grounds of Appeal
In light of the purpose and nature of the system for compulsory auction of real estate under the Civil Procedure Act and the contents of various regulations on the procedure, in the procedure for compulsory auction of real estate, an agreement may not be permitted even if there is an agreement between the obligee and the obligor on the satisfaction of obligation by agreement between the obligee and the receiver in the case of the repayment of obligation, or the designation of appropriation of obligation under Article 476 of the Civil Act may not be permitted (see Supreme Court Decision 90Da18678 delivered on July 23, 191), and in the case of an auction for the enforcement of the security right under the Civil Procedure Act where all the provisions on the procedure for compulsory auction of real estate are applied mutatis mutandis, there is no reasonable ground to see that there is a difference in the case of an auction for the enforcement of the security right under the current Civil Procedure Act where all the provisions on the procedure for compulsory auction of real estate are applied mutatis mutandis. In this case, even if there is an agreement on the satisfaction of obligation between the obligee and the obligor, it shall be appropriated in accordance with the method of statutory appropriation of obligation under Article 477.

Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing plaintiff. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
