The meaning of "the sale and purchase designated by quantity" under Article 574 of the Civil Code and the sale and purchase of land shall not be deemed to be the sale and purchase designated by quantity.

The term “sale to which quantity has been designated” as stipulated in Article 574 of the Civil Act refers to the case where the parties set the price based on the volume at the time when a specific object, which is the object of the sale, has a certain quantity, has been set in order for the parties to hold a certain quantity.

Thus, even if the sale and purchase of land is specified in accordance with the ordinary number on the registry, if it is deemed that there was a means for the parties to specify the land and determine its price since the sale and purchase of the land was merely a single standard, it cannot be said that it was a sale and purchase designated by the parties (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 89Meu7266, May 8, 1990; 7Da811, Jul. 26, 197). According to the reasoning of the judgment below, the court below did not err in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the sale and purchase of the building and its site, and there was no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the sale and purchase of the land from the Defendant and its site, and there was no error in the subsequent determination by the court below.

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.
