Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
Defendant 1’s ground of appeal No. 1
The facts acknowledged by the court below are as follows. In other words, as of August 9, 1945, the title of this site is registered in the name of "non-party 1" which is a Japanese citizen on the register. The food service corporation for non-party 1 completed the registration of ownership transfer on September 8, 1945 on the ground that the non-party 2, a co-defendant 2 in the first instance court, purchased it from the above construction work, and the defendant purchased it from the above non-party 2.
Therefore, the court below determined that since the above facts are stated in the name of Japanese people as of August 9, 1945 in the above registry, since the ownership was attributed to the Ministry of Government Administration and Home Affairs under Article 2 Item 3 of the military law, and that the ownership was devolved to the Government of the Republic of Korea under the first agreement on finance and property concluded thereafter, it cannot be viewed as just as the purport of the previous precedents, and even if it was stipulated that the real estate was acquired as of September 25, 1945 under Article 2 of the US military law, it cannot be said that there was an error of law in the above determination, and that the court below did not have any error of finding that the real estate was in violation of the above 1943-11 Japan's law, and that the above decision of the court below did not belong to the Minister's property rights since it was a sale of the real estate to the above Japanese people as of August 9, 1945, the court below did not have any factual ownership in the name of the owner.
Therefore, it is so decided as per Disposition with the assent of all participating judges.
