Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 57Du135 delivered on February 4, 1958, Seoul High Court Decision 57Da135 delivered on February 4, 1958
Reasons
According to the reasoning of the judgment, the court below reduced the provisional disposition on this case at the end of recognizing that the farmland in this case was owned by the applicant, but at the same time, the owner of farmland in the 3.8 North Korea, as well as the public notice of the Farmland Reform Act, loses ownership due to the transfer of ownership to the State, and even if the farmland in this case was originally owned by the applicant, the applicant lost ownership of the farmland in this case on June 21, 1949, which was promulgated by the Farmland Reform Act, and since there was no evidence that the applicant acquired the right to possess or cultivate the farmland in this case after the enforcement of the Farmland Reform Act on Japan, the applicant did not have the right to claim compensation
