‘Project won’t resume despite law revision’
Berjaya Jeju Resort vows to sue JDC for compensation

Berjaya Jeju Resort says it will not resume its construction project in Yerae despite the National Assembly’s passage of a related legal revision, and it has vowed to press forward with a suit against the JDC.

The assembly’s amendment to the Jeju Special Law could overturn last year’s court ruling that the project was invalid, thereby allowing work to resume.

However, the project operator says it will not change its position. It will continue to seek five trillion won in compensation from the Jeju Free International City Development Center. That total covers construction already completed, loss of projected future profits, and losses from falling share prices.

Berjaya Jeju Resort says there must be a resolution to land ownership issues at the site for work to continue. Company officials argue the new legal revision does not do that.

버자야 "유원지 특례, 사업 재개와는 별개"

예래 유원지 특례를 둔 제주특별법 개정안이 국회를 통과했지만, 사업자측은 법안 통과와 사업 재개 여부는 별개라며 선을 그었습니다.

버자야제주리조트측은 오늘 제주특별법이 개정됐다고 해서 예래휴양형주거단지 사업이 정상화 되는 것은 아니라며 소송 진행 등 기존 입장에는 변함이 없다고 밝혔습니다.

아울러 사업 정상화는 토지 소유권 문제가 선결 조건이지 법 개정은 사업과는 별개 사안이라고 강조했습니다.
