On the same day, the Plaintiff paid the Defendant the down payment of KRW 30 million to the Defendant.

B. Meanwhile, with respect to the apartment of this case, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation completed the registration of creation of a mortgage over each of the maximum debt amount of KRW 96 million (hereinafter “the first collateral mortgage”) on November 6, 2006 and the maximum debt amount of KRW 22,5420,000 (hereinafter “the second collateral mortgage”) on March 27, 2009.

On April 15, 2016, the Defendant: (a) stated that “The floor of a ward has existed at the time when the Defendant moved in; (b) there was no problem in the drainage by removing foreign matter from the beracian sewage plant; and (c) if the intermediate payment is not paid by May 10, 2016, the instant sales contract is revoked; and (d) the down payment is reverted to the Defendant in compensation for damages.”
