Reasons
The acts of preparing a forestry map or cancelling and deleting the forestry map are all intended to use it as data to prove the convenience and fact of administrative affairs, and it does not cause any change in the substantive legal relationship with regard to the forest land. Therefore, each act above is not an administrative disposition subject to administrative litigation. Therefore, since the administrative litigation of the plaintiff of this case is not an administrative disposition subject to administrative litigation, the administrative litigation of the plaintiff of this case is not legitimate even if it contests the defendant's disposition that was cancelled in the forestry map.
The original judgment is reasonable to the same purport as above, and there is no illegality in matters of law by misapprehending the meaning of the ownership of the forest land as stated in the forestry map, or by understanding the legal principles on ownership.
In the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, the expression "which erroneously recorded the forest land owned by the plaintiffs as owned by the non-party in installments" refers to the argument that the plaintiff's purport of the plaintiff's claim is not affected by the disposition of judgment, and it is not reasonable.
Therefore, all appeals are without merit, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
