Purport of claim and appeal

The first instance court.

Reasons

1. The fact that the Defendant awarded to B (representative C) around July 2012 a contract for the manufacture and installation works of D D D D D D D D Dct for KRW 32.7 million does not conflict between the parties.

2. From July 3, 2012 to August 24, 2012, the Plaintiff’s assertion E provided the Defendant with the board operation equivalent to KRW 4,950,000 with the Scar equipment at the site of the D D Corporation located in Ansan-gu, Seoul-si. The Plaintiff, a bond purchaser business entity under the Commercial Act, purchased the construction price claim amounting to KRW 4,950,000 from E.

However, solely on the ground that C said person is an employee of the Defendant, it cannot be deemed that the Defendant permitted C to use his/her name or trade name. A subcontractor who is entitled to seek a direct payment of the subcontract price against the ordering person pursuant to Article 14(1) of the Subcontract Act refers to a small and medium business proprietor entrusted with the manufacture, etc. by the prime contractor (Article 2(3) of the Subcontract Act, and “small and medium business proprietor” refers to a person whose sales or total assets,
