Judgment of the lower court
Jeonju District Court Decision 96Na2494 delivered on November 21, 1997
Text
All appeals are dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiffs.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined.
1. On the first ground for appeal
According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below concluded the following facts based on the evidence of the court below. The non-party 1 concluded that the non-party 1 occupied the above part of the land and the above part of the land, which was delivered to the non-party 3 omitted, with the knowledge that the above part of the land was owned by the non-party 1 and the above part of the land was owned by the non-party 3 omitted due to the following facts: the non-party 1 occupied the above part of the land and the above part of the land, which was delivered to the non-party 3 omitted; the non-party 1 occupied the above part of the land, including the above part of the cement gate and the pent roof 1 omitted; the non-party 1 and the part of the land of this case, which was located in the non-party 3 omitted; and the non-party 4 and the non-party 5 were sold to the non-party 3 without the permission of the above part of the above land, and the defendant did not err in the misapprehensioning the above part of the ground for appeal.
2. On the second ground for appeal
In cases where the occupancy, which forms the basis of the acquisition by prescription, continues to remain above the statutory period, the acquisition by prescription shall begin at the time when the possession, which serves as the basis for the commencement thereof, is the starting point of the acquisition by prescription, and the person who asserts the acquisition by prescription shall not choose the starting point at his own discretion. However, in cases where the possession is succeeded in succession, the person who asserts the completion of the acquisition by prescription has the right to assert only his own possession, or at the same time he/she may assert both his/her own possession and the possession. In addition, in cases where he/she claims the possession of the former possessor, the person who asserts it at any stage has the right to choose the starting point of the possession at any discretion during the period of possession (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 80Da2614, Apr. 14, 1981; 81Da826, Jan. 26, 1982; 201Da267584, Oct. 22, 1991).
According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below determined that the time of commencement of possession of the land of this case against Plaintiff 1, the starting date of possession by Plaintiff 1, and the acquisition by prescription against Plaintiff 2 was completed at the expiration of 20 years from the starting date of possession by Nonparty 4, respectively. In light of the above legal principles and records, it is reasonable in light of the above legal principles and records, and it is not erroneous in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the starting date of possession and acquisition by prescription, or in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the starting date of possession by autonomy and acquisition by prescription as otherwise alleged in
3. Therefore, all appeals are dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiffs who have lost them. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
