Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the Plaintiff.
Reasons
Examining the record in light of the relevant legal principles, the court below’s determination that the transfer of real estate in this case does not apply to the transfer of real estate in this case since the non-party company obtained authorization to implement the urban environment rearrangement project on May 25, 2007, which was after the transfer of the real estate in this case, based on its reasoning is justifiable in accordance with the purport of the Supreme Court precedents. Contrary to what is alleged in the grounds of appeal, the court below did not err by misapprehending the legal principles on Article 85 subparag. 5 of the former Act on Special Cases Concerning Tax Restriction (amended by Act No. 8146 of Dec. 30, 2006).
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
