In order to revoke the beneficial administrative act such as a license of a private taxi transport business, the decision shall be made by comparing the needs of the public interest to be revoked and the disadvantage that the party may sustain due to the revocation thereof.

In order to cancel the beneficial administrative act such as a license of a private taxi transport business, the decision should be made by comparing and comparing the needs of the public interest to cancel the license and the disadvantage that the party may sustain due to the cancellation. However, if the administrative agency misleads the applicant as to the qualification of license by mistake and makes a disposition of license by mistake, the administrative agency may cancel the license on its own on its ground because the disposition is defective. In this case, the person who obtained a license by mistake is aware that his interest was illegally acquired, and the possibility of cancellation was anticipated, and even if the administrative agency did not consider it, it is reasonable in light of the principle of good faith and fairness (see Supreme Court Decision 84Nu327 delivered on May 28, 1985). Accordingly, it is reasonable in light of the records that the court below's decision that there is no possibility of discussing the abuse of discretionary power even if the administrative agency did not consider it, and it is justified in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the plaintiffs' application of the license of a private taxi transport business.

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.
