Text
The case shall be remanded to the Jeonju District Court Panel Division by destroying the original judgment.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the defendant litigant are examined.
According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, even if the plaintiff purchased the above real estate from Japan on July 15, 1945, it was registered as Japanese owner as of August 9, 1945, and the plaintiff purchased it from Japan on July 15, 1945, but completed the registration of ownership transfer, as of September 11, 1945, the defendant recognized that he completed the registration of ownership transfer under the name of the defendant on the ground of reversion of the right on the above real estate as of September 11, 1948, as stated in its decision, and even if the plaintiff purchased the above real estate from Japan on July 15, 1945, the plaintiff filed an application for adjudication on the cancellation of ownership transfer under subparagraph 103 of the military law, or received the decision on the cancellation of the Central Council, or did not obtain the final judgment on the cancellation under the Presidential Decree and the Presidential Decree No. 216, but the defendant's assertion that the above property was not yet reverted to the defendant's property.
However, as of August 9, 1945, the property in the name of Japanese owner shall be reverted to the Government of September 25, 1945 under the Military Administration Act No. 33, 1945. However, a person who asserts that he purchased the ownership from Japan with respect to the property before that date shall purchase the property, and that he acquired the ownership, shall either obtain a ruling on the cancellation of the ownership or a ruling on the cancellation of the ownership under the Military Administration Act No. 103 and the Decree No. 120 of April 17, 1948, or a ruling on the cancellation of the ownership transfer under the Civil Administration Act No. 120, or a ruling on the cancellation of the ownership transfer under the final judgment of the court, or obtain a confirmation on the cancellation of the ownership transfer from the court. Accordingly, the person who did not receive the above cancellation of ownership can not assert the ownership on the ground of such purchase, and that the ownership transfer shall belong to the State before that ruling (see Supreme Court Decision 66Da268, Feb. 28, 1967, 1967). 1965.
Therefore, the original judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Jeonju District Court which is the original judgment. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
