토지권수용 요건의 토지법적 고찰

The expropriation of land rights is the action of the state power, which compulsorily makes land rights be acquired or lapsed. It is also called the expropriation of property rights or the expropriation of the land. The land right, generally called the land property right, is not the term established in positive laws or academia, but is the fundamental right for the land separate from the property rights, also stands for land ownership and other all rights related to the land in the publicㆍprivate laws. Though the land law is not enacted yet with a special law, it can be said the fundamental law on land that supplements and practices constitutional idea, by putting the laws related to the land - the constitution, the civil law, the administrative law, etc. together. And in the light of land laws, requirements for expropriation of land rights include public need, legitimate procedures, fair rewards, etc. The current laws confine the scope of public need in the public services, which land rights can be expropriated. But the legal system is not the structure that stipulates the kinds of public services and then expropriates land rights for that business, but is the structure that in case there are regulations that can expropriate land rights, the related businesses become public services. This is putting the cart before the horse. Besides, by regarding authorization of the enforcement plan of the certain business, i.e. administrative procedure as approval of the business, i.e. quasi-judicial procedure, the principle of lawful procedure under the constitution is violated and the right to trial is infringed. Though the Constitutional Court has ruled that these regulations are constitutional, reexamination of the legislation system about expropriation of land rights on the basis of the principle of legal public services, lawful procedure, etc. is required. To justify expropriation of land rights, reasonable compensation must be paid. Resonable compensation theoretically means complete compensation for the objective value of the land, but on the positive law, means to compensate with 'fair prices appraised on the basis of the official land value'. This is being realized by the appraisal system for compensation by means of steady appraisal criteria, methods, procedures, etc. and this structure is being operated, depending on the appraisal system that aims at formation of fair land prices. In case appraised prices based on the official land value are not reasonable compared with normal sale price level of neighborhood at the time of compensation, the appraisal is done by revising them along the sale price level. Because not only do normal sale prices become barometer of economic value, but also the constitution guarantees the right of land value use, i.e. the right to use the fair value of his or her land. The Supreme Court rules that the appraisal can be done in consideration of neighboring normal sale prices, in case the prices appraised on the basis of the official land value are not proper. And the Constitutional Court rules these regulations do not violate the constitution. But even though regulations of the law that have unconstitutional elements are supplemented by the appraisal system and prejudication, and then those are settled, the legislation can't be justified. Consequently, compensation regulations by 'fair prices appraised on the basis of the official land prices' will have to be reformed.
