Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 69Gu36 delivered on December 9, 1969
Text
The judgment of the court below is reversed.
The case is remanded to Seoul High Court.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the defendant litigant are examined.
If the application area overlaps with the mining area of the same kind of mineral at the time of the application, the application area for the mining of the same mineral shall not be permitted. Article 22 of the Mining Industry Act provides that while the above application area overlaps with the mining area of the same kind of mineral, even if the above application area overlaps with the mining area of the same kind of mineral, the non-permission disposition shall be made at the beginning of the above time (see Supreme Court Decision 64Nu11 delivered on September 8, 1964). It seems that the non-permission of the above application area overlaps with the non-party 9 on the ground that the non-party 6 application area overlaps with the above non-party 9 on the ground that the non-party 9 application area would have no effect on the non-party 1, the non-party 6 application area would have no effect on the non-party 9 on the non-party 1, the court below's decision that the non-party 9 application area would have no effect on the non-party 1, the non-party 9, therefore, should be interpreted in light of the purport of the foregoing Act.
Therefore, the original judgment shall be reversed and the original judgment shall be re-examined. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating judges.
