In the case of dissolution of a juristic person falling under the provisions of Article 2 (3) of the Commercial Act due to the proviso of Article 8 (1) 4 of the Act on the Disposal of Property for Reversion, the application of the provisions of dissolution of the Commercial Act shall not be naturally excluded: Provided, That the provisions of liquidation of the Commercial Act shall apply to the extent that it does not violate the provisions on liquidation under Article 16 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act. Thus, the juristic person dissolved shall be deemed to exist within the scope of the purpose of liquidation under Article 245 and Article 542 of the Commercial Act. Thus, the property belonging to the juristic person shall continue to belong to the juristic person after dissolution, and it shall be deemed that the property belonging to the juristic person may be sold after dissolution under the proviso of Article 8 (1) 4 of the Act on the Disposal of Property for Reversion, and it shall be decided that the property belonging to the domestic juristic person shall be reverted to the State under the premise that the property belonging to the juristic person shall belong to the State under Article 8 (3) 4 of the same Act on the premise that the original judgment shall not be dismissed.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed without merit. The costs of the lawsuit are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
