2. The assertion and judgment
A. 1) A co-owner of land may use and benefit from the entire land according to the share ratio of each co-owner. However, inasmuch as a majority of the share share of each co-owner with respect to the specific method of use and benefit, it cannot be exclusively occupied and used. Thus, if a part of the co-owner exclusively occupies and uses the entire land, it shall be deemed that unjust enrichment corresponding to his/her share is made to a person who has the share of other co-owners but does not use and benefit from the entire land (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2000Da17803, Oct. 11, 2002). In light of the above legal principles, in light of the above facts acknowledged as seen above, the defendant occupies and uses the entire land of this case exclusively in excess of his/her share, and thus, the plaintiff who did not use and benefit from the entire land, and the defendant is obligated to return unjust enrichment equivalent to the Plaintiff's share of co-owner's share to a nearby spouse at the end of December 2012.
