Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 88Gu15675 delivered on May 4, 1990
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the defendant.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
As determined by the court below, if the defendant decided on May 29, 1986 to calculate 233,515,620 won defense tax amounting to 46,703,120 won, defense tax amounting to 233,515,620 won, and notified this, if the plaintiffs' tax amount to be borne by them and the taxpayer were not stated in the calculation statement, and only the taxpayer was served with the above did not specify the calculation statement, the defendant's disposition of inheritance tax, etc. against the plaintiffs by the above tax payment notice is illegal. The judgment below to the same purport is just and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles, such as the theory of lawsuit.
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, 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.
