Main Issues
The case holding that since the apartment sale contract for the purpose of a specific object is not a sale and purchase designated by quantity, it does not constitute unjust enrichment even though the actual area is larger than that indicated in the contract.
Summary of Judgment
The apartment sale contract concluded between the Plaintiff and the Defendants was concluded by specifying one unit of apartment with specific apartment units specified in 607 and 102 of apartment units. Thus, it is not a sale designated by quantity, but a sale for specific water, and even if the actual area of apartment units sold by the Defendants is somewhat larger than that indicated in the sales contract form due to the mistake of the snow company's sales guide car, it cannot be said that the Defendants obtained benefits without any legal cause.

Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
