The Client Who Sought Assistance from the Suncheon Real Estate Attorney

Suncheon Real Estate Attorney

This is the story of the client who entrusted the case to the Suncheon real estate attorney.

The client learned that land he had inherited from his mother was being occupied by the defendant without authorization.

Although the client requested that the defendant restore it to its original state, the defendant continued the occupation, claiming that he had used the land in question for many years.

The client therefore sought to have the land delivered and to claim unjust enrichment arising from the defendant's use of the land, and so requested assistance from the Suncheon real estate attorney.

Case-Related Statutes Explained by the Suncheon Real Estate Attorney

▶ What is land delivery litigation?

Land delivery litigation is litigation conducted in order to recover and have returned land that is being unlawfully occupied and used.
Depending on the case, building demolition litigation or boundary determination litigation may be conducted, and if the unlawful occupation of the land has continued for a long time, an action for the return of unjust enrichment may also be filed.

▶ Cases in which land delivery litigation is pursued

1. Where one has won a successful bid in a real estate auction and paid the full price, but the existing occupant refuses to vacate
2. Where another person is occupying land owned by oneself without authority by means of a fence, building, or the like
3. Where a lessee has concluded a sublease agreement with a third party without the knowledge of the landowner
4. Where one continues to occupy land even though one must vacate due to the termination of the lease agreement

▶ Related statutes

Through a cadastral survey, the boundary of the client's land was clarified, thereby proving the area and boundary of the land that the defendant was encroaching upon.

The Suncheon real estate attorney emphasized that the defendant has an obligation to return the unjust enrichment in respect of this.
