Cases of misapprehension of legal principles as to abuse of rights
Summary of Judgment
While the Defendant and the former owners continuously occupy and use the land, the Plaintiffs did not raise an objection, and the ownership of the Plaintiffs is nothing more than using the central part as a tombstone, and the removal of the part of the building in question owned by the Defendant would cause damage more than 10 times the land price if the Defendant removed the part of the building in question, and it is recognized that the Plaintiffs did not follow the settlement recommendation by the lower court, and the Defendant had the right to claim ownership transfer registration on the land in question due to the completion of the statute of limitations. Therefore, it is difficult to deem that the Plaintiffs’ claim for removal of the building is an act to compel the Defendant only to compensate for losses.
