The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiffs.

1. The plaintiffs' attorney's grounds of appeal Nos. 1 and 3 are examined together.

In light of the reasoning of the judgment below, the reclamation agreement of approximately 205 nuclear waters, which was entered into with the defendant on November 29, 1978 as the representative of the 111 ambi-gun Saemaul Cooperative Center, is a local government under Article 29 (1) of the Public Waters Reclamation Act, which is the main body of the above ambi-gun reclamation project, and is merely a private legal act conducted by the ambi-gun as a private economic entity, and it should be regulated as the effects of the general law, and it cannot be viewed as an administrative disposition that has the effects of the public law. Accordingly, the court below's decision that the above ambi-Mai-Mai-Mai-ri's reclamation agreement was a private legal act conducted by the ambi-gun as the main body of the public authority, and as the residents of the ambi-si branch as the main body of the above ambi-Mai-si, which was concluded with the defendant on the ground that it did not constitute an administrative cancellation of the above agreement.

2. We examine the second ground for appeal.

We cannot accept the conclusion of the judgment of the court below on the premise of a new argument that was not asserted by the court below.

3. Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of the appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
