2. Determination

A. The Plaintiff asserts that the construction cost claim portion exceeds KRW 27,200,000 in excess of KRW 35,200,000 in the construction cost amounting to 62,400,000, which the Defendant received from the Plaintiff, since the construction cost claim ratio was less than 40% at the time when the Defendant ceased construction work.

However, as the remaining construction work has already been conducted by another company, it is difficult to understand at the time of discontinuance of the construction work.

However, in light of the fact that 70% of the total construction cost (the sum of 10% of the contract amount, 30% of the advance payment, and 30% of the intermediate payment) is to be paid at the arrival of 60% under the instant construction contract, and that the Plaintiff pays to the Defendant the amount equivalent to 70.9% of the total construction cost, the fair rate at the time of the payment of the intermediate payment shall be deemed to have exceeded at least 60%.
