(hereinafter referred to as “instant contract”). (b)

In accordance with the instant contract, the Defendant opened and operated the C Original Point around November 2013, and the Plaintiff continued management consulting, education, and service support to the Defendant before and after the opening of the C Original Point.

(D) The remainder of KRW 10,000,000 out of the total sum of consulting and security deposits for participation shall not be paid (20,000,000).

However, from July 2014 to July 2014, disputes arose regarding whether the instant contract was performed between the Plaintiff and the Defendant, and whether the instant contract was a franchise store contract. From July 2014 to July 21, 2014, the Defendant notified the Plaintiff of the termination of the instant contract by asserting the fraud contract against the Plaintiff and verifying the content of the contract.

E. A case that the Defendant reported to the Fair Trade Commission on the charge of violating the Fair Transactions in Franchise Business Act (hereinafter “Franchising Act”) was terminated on July 2015 on the ground that the instant contract was not subject to the Franchise Business Act, and the case that she filed a criminal complaint by fraud was around August 2016.
