2. The plaintiff's assertion

A. The Defendant entered the chairperson of the promotion committee of this case as "D" and received the decision of the payment order of this case. Since it is reasonable to view the chairperson of the promotion committee of this case as "E" at the time of issuing the payment order of this case according to the result of administrative litigation filed by the promotion committee of this case, it cannot be deemed that the payment order of this case, the promotion committee chairperson of which was D, was lawfully served on the promotion committee of this case, and all procedural acts conducted on behalf of D, are null and void

B. Furthermore, as a criminal judgment of KRW 2 million became final and conclusive due to a violation of the Act on the Maintenance and Improvement of Urban Areas and Dwelling Conditions for Residents, D has retired from the office of the chairman of the Promotion Committee of this case as of December 7, 2017. In this regard, the instant payment order was made against an unlawful representative and thus null and void.
