If it is impossible to divide it in kind or if it is possible to divide it in kind, the price can be reduced significantly, the auction of the goods can be ordered. Thus, barring such circumstances, the court shall decide to recognize the sole ownership of each co-owner for the divided property by dividing the jointly-owned property into several goods in kind at the share ratio of each co-owner, and the method of division shall be a reasonable partition according to the share ratio of the co-owner at the discretion of the court, rather than by the method requested by the parties, according to the co-owner's share ratio (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 97Da18219, Sept. 9, 1997). In light of the above legal principles, in this case, health class No. 3-1, evidence No. 1, and the following purport of the entire list of land:
