Main Issues
[1] In cases where a lessee has returned the leased property during the lease term due to a lessee's default, the object of liquidation and the method of calculating the amount of liquidation
[2] The case holding that the lessee shall reimburse all the expenses actually paid under the lease agreement in case where the lessee incurred expenses incurred by the lease company due to the agreement, etc. in the lawsuit filed by the landowner on the land owned by another person because a part of the leased object was installed on the land owned by another person when the lessee recovered the leased object due to the lessee’s default
Summary of Judgment
[1] In the so-called "financial lease", if a lessee redeems a leased object from a lessee during the term of lease, it is necessary to return profits acquired by such return or liquidate the leased object with appropriation for the payment of a lease bond, barring any special circumstance. In this case, the object of liquidation is the difference between the value of the object at the time of returning the leased object and the residual value of the leased object at the time of the expiration of the term of original lease. Furthermore, in calculating the liquidation amount, there are many cases where there are many cases where the leased object has no commerciality or marketity and it is difficult to determine the exchange value due to the lack of commerciality or market feasibility, so the exchange value is only zero if it is impossible to assess the exchange value based on the transaction value due to the lease company's actual disposal of the object.
[2] The case holding that the expenses incurred by the lessee due to the agreement of the lawsuit, such as delivery of the land, etc. filed by the lessee on the land owned by another person adjacent to the factory site of the lessee, when the lessee installs the leased object, constitute the expenses paid by the lessee with respect to the claim of the third party for the repayment of the claim under the lease agreement, the repayment of the debt, the return of the leased object, and other expenses incurred by the lessee, which are the remedy of the lessee under the lease agreement, and the subsequent remedy by the lessee, constitutes the expenses paid by the lessee, and the scope of the reimbursement is also the entire expenses, barring any special circumstances.

Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. As to the grounds of appeal Nos. 1 and 4
In light of the records, the court below acknowledged that the defendant applied for a provisional disposition on July 31, 1991 for the provisional disposition on the transfer of possession of corporeal movables in order to recover the leased object immediately before the termination of the lease contract of this case, but did not execute the provisional disposition due to the suspension of the employees belonging to the non-party gold-gu Industrial Corporation (hereinafter the non-party company), which is the lessee, the non-party company, the lessee, was placed in possession of the house office due to compulsory execution on the leased object of the non-party company, and the defendant filed a lawsuit against the above execution creditor on September 6, 1992 against the third party, and was sentenced in favor of the above judgment on October 20, 192, and recognized that the above judgment became final and conclusive on November 24, 199 of the same year, and that the defendant did not exercise the right to manage and dispose of the leased object until the date when the above judgment became final and conclusive, and that the defendant violated the legal principles on the transfer of leased object under the law.
2. As to the grounds of appeal Nos. 2 and 3
In the so-called financial lease, if a lessee redeems a leased object from a lessee during the maturity of a lease period, the cause of such refund requires return of profits acquired by the lessee, or appropriation for the payment of a lease bond, etc. barring any special circumstance. In this case, the object of liquidation is the difference between the value of the leased object and the remaining value of the leased object at the expiration of the lease period of its original lease at the time of returning the leased object. Furthermore, in calculating the liquidation amount, there are many cases where there are many cases where the leased object has no commerciality or marketability and it is difficult to determine the exchange value due to the lack of commerciality or market feasibility, and it is inevitable to liquidate the exchange value with the value of the leased object as the disposal value if the lessee disposes of the object in fact (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 94Da60219, Sept. 29, 195).

3. As to the fifth ground for appeal
In light of the records, the court below is just in holding that the non-party company's construction of the lease article in this case and part of it was constructed on the non-party's land adjacent to the non-party company's factory site, and the expenses of the decision that was paid by the non-party company as agreed to pay for the non-party company's non-performance of obligations under the lease contract in this case, and the claim of the third party as to the repayment of claims under the lease contract and the claim for return of the lease article, which is the defendant's remedy, constitutes the expenses paid by the non-party company, and the scope of its repayment is also the whole expenses actually paid unless there are special circumstances. In so doing, the court below did not err by misapprehending the legal principles as argued in the Grounds for Appeal (see Supreme Court Decision 86Meu70, Aug. 19, 1986).
4. Regarding ground of appeal No. 6
In light of the records, the court below is justified in finding a fact that the plaintiff was paid a sum of KRW 81,020,775 out of KRW 100,00,000, which was distributed to the defendant in the auction procedure as a provisional execution (debt collection order) based on the judgment of the court of the first instance on February 4, 1997, which declared provisional execution on February 4, 1997, and there is no violation of the rules of evidence as alleged in the grounds of appeal.
