Where a disposition of designating a land as a land substitution under a land substitution plan has been taken, if a person who cultivated a land substitution to use and benefit from the land as a land substitution by putting the previous land owner into the right to use and benefit from the land as a land substitution plan has completed the repayment of the land substitution plan after having been distributed the land as a result of the implementation of the Farmland Reform Act, the person who owns the land substitution shall acquire the ownership of the land substitution plan itself, and even if the land substitution is finalized after the completion of the land substitution plan, there is no change in the ownership acquired by the person who owns the land, and the previous land owner shall not acquire the ownership
Examining the reasoning of the judgment below in light of the records, the court below's findings and determination of the court below ordering the defendant to make an additional registration of ownership transfer as to the shortage of shares arising therefrom are just and acceptable, and there is no error of law such as misconception of facts or misunderstanding of the legal principles as to a replotting disposition against the rules of evidence. The grounds for appeal pointing this out are not acceptable. It is not acceptable to accept.
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 on the bench.
