Judgment of the lower court
Seoul Civil District Court Decision 76Na1021 delivered on February 8, 1978
Text
The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
We examine the grounds for appeal by the defendant's attorney.
However, examining the reasoning of the judgment of the court below and the record, it is difficult to conclude that the above-mentioned claim was originally owned by the defendant, and that the non-party 1, who was known to the plaintiff's inspection, sold it to the non-party 2 around May 194, and that the plaintiff continued to cultivate it until May 17, 1976, as stated in its reasoning, it cannot be viewed that there was no evidence that the court below acknowledged the fact that the non-party 2 purchased it before the sale and purchase without evidence, and that there was no specific circumstance that the non-party 1 had no specific authority to purchase and sell the real estate after the lapse of 20 years from December 10, 1954, or that there was no specific circumstance that the non-party 2 had no authority to purchase and sell the real estate after the lapse of the prescription period or the expiration of the prescription period, as stated in the judgment of the court below, it cannot be concluded that there was no specific circumstance that the non-party 1 had no authority to purchase and sell it under the law.
Therefore, all arguments are without merit, and the appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the losing defendant. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
