Reasons
Judgment ex officio is made.
If an administrative disposition is revoked, such disposition becomes void and no longer exists, and a revocation lawsuit against a non-existent administrative disposition is unlawful as there is no benefit of lawsuit (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2011Du15343, Oct. 13, 201).
According to the records, the Defendant revoked ex officio the order to refund KRW 755,552,360,00 after filing the instant appeal on October 31, 2013.
Therefore, the Plaintiff’s claim seeking the revocation of the above return order is seeking the revocation of a non-existent disposition, and thus becomes unlawful as there is no interest in the lawsuit. Therefore, the part against the Defendant in the judgment of the first instance is revoked, and the Plaintiff’s claim corresponding to the revocation portion is dismissed. It is so decided
