Main Issues
The validity of a father-child who is a burden attached to an administrative disposition of a binding act or a binding discretionary act (negative), and in such a case whether the declaration of intent of a gift made according to an invalid father-child becomes null and void as a matter of course (negative)
Summary of Judgment
In general, in cases where additional clauses are attached to an administrative disposition, which is to be borne by a binding act or a binding discretionary act, the additional clauses are null and void, and the effect of the administrative disposition itself may also be affected by the nullification of the additional clauses. However, such a reason is only the motive or chain with which the person who received the disposition made the declaration of intent of the gift as a performance of the obligation. Thus, the declaration of intent itself does not become null and void as a matter of course, aside from the fact that it may be a cause for revocation.
