Text
The appeal is dismissed. The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.
Reasons
1. We examine the grounds of appeal against the defendant U.S. Tax Office.
In cases where a tax authority seizes real estate owned by a person liable to pay taxes for the purpose of collecting taxes, a purchaser of the said real estate or a person holding the provisional seizure shall not be eligible to seek the revocation of the seizure disposition, since he/she has a de facto and indirect interest in the above seizure disposition and does not have any direct and specific interest in law (see Supreme Court Decisions 91Nu6023, Mar. 31, 1992; 89Nu2080, Oct. 10, 1989, etc.). Thus, as alleged in the grounds of appeal, the Plaintiff purchased the instant real estate owned by a non-party company that is the person liable to pay taxes while making the provisional seizure, and even if a lawsuit was filed against the non-party company to demand the revocation of the seizure disposition of this case, such circumstance alone shall be deemed to have no standing
In the same purport, the decision of the court below that dismissed the plaintiff's claim for the revocation of attachment disposition of this case, and it is not erroneous in the incomplete hearing or in the misapprehension of legal principles as alleged in the grounds of appeal. The Supreme Court's precedents cited in the grounds of appeal are not purporting that the provisional attachment takes precedence over the effect of the disposition on default.
2. As to the appeal against Defendant Korea Assets Management Corporation, no grounds of appeal are stated in the petition of appeal and the appellate brief.
3. Therefore, the appeal shall be dismissed and all costs of appeal shall be assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
