[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1, 2, 5, 7, 10, Eul evidence No. 1, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Determination on the cause of the claim

A. According to the fact that the defendant's obligation to pay the agreed amount was acknowledged, the defendant agreed to pay US$ 55,691.40 to the plaintiff as the price for goods, as stated in the loan certificate of this case, unless there are special circumstances.

B. The defendant's argument 1) The defendant asserts that since the party who supplied other days is not the plaintiff but C, the plaintiff cannot claim the price, and the party who received the other date is not the defendant but D and E, so the defendant is not obligated to pay the price. However, as acknowledged earlier, the plaintiff claims the defendant for the payment of the agreed amount pursuant to the loan certificate of this case. Thus, this part of the defendant's argument is without merit. 2) The defendant also made the loan certificate of this case to guarantee the payment of USD 5,579.40, which is about 10% of the price of the goods borne by D and E, to the plaintiff.
