Title

Whether it constitutes a fraudulent act

Summary

It is reasonable to see that the act of paying the money is a loan and repayment.

2) On February 24, 2017, CCC completed the registration of ownership transfer based on the instant sales contract, each of 1/2 shares of the instant real estate to ○○○, etc.

C. From November 30, 2016 to April 27, 2017, CCC paid KRW 225,000,000 each to Defendant AA as shown in the attached Table 1, and Defendant BB as listed in the attached Table 2 (hereinafter “instant monetary payment act”).

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, entry of Gap evidence 1 through 5 (including each number; hereinafter the same shall apply) and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. The parties' assertion

A. The plaintiff's assertion

1) At the time of the act of paying the instant monetary amount, the CCC (CCC) donated the sum of KRW 256,000,000 to Defendant AA and Defendant BB, his father, who is his spouse, while predicting that the said amount would have been determined and notified as at the time of the act of paying the instant monetary amount. As such, the said donation agreement constitutes a fraudulent act detrimental to the general creditors of CCC by reducing joint collateral, and thus, the said agreement should be revoked. Accordingly, Defendant AA shall be obligated to recover the said amount to the Plaintiff to pay the Plaintiff KRW 225,00,000,00 and delay damages.

2) Preliminaryly, even if the instant monetary act constitutes an act of reimbursing the Defendants’ existing loans, the Defendants, in collusion with CCC, received the said monetary act with the intent to prejudice other creditors, and thus, the said act should be revoked as it constitutes a fraudulent act.

B. The defendants' assertion

The Defendants did not receive the money from the CCC, but received the repayment of the borrowed money accrued prior to the instant monetary act. Since the Defendants did not know of the excess of the CCC’s debt at the time and did not receive the repayment with the intent to prejudice other creditors of CCC, there is no fraudulent act between CCC and the Defendants.

3. Determination

A. The plaintiff's preserved claim

1) In principle, a claim that can be protected by the obligee’s right of revocation needs to be, in principle, arisen prior to the commission of an act that can be deemed a fraudulent act. However, at the time of a fraudulent act, there is a high probability that there exists a legal relationship which is the basis of the establishment of a claim, and that the claim is established in the near future in the near future, and where a claim has been created by realizing the probability in the near future, such claim may also become a preserved claim (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2011Da76426, Feb. 23, 2012).

2) As to the instant case, the fact that the instant real estate transfer income tax claim against CCC, the Plaintiff’s preserved claim, occurred after the payment of the instant monetary amount. However, at the time of the conclusion of the instant sales contract, there was a high probability that the said transfer income tax claim would be established in the near future since the abstract tax liability for the transfer income tax was already established at the time of the conclusion of the instant sales contract, or the taxable period was commenced, and thereafter, the Plaintiff actually incurred capital gains tax claim by determining and notifying CCC of the transfer income tax following the transfer of the instant real estate. Thus, the said transfer income tax claim constitutes the preserved claim of

B. Whether the instant monetary payment constitutes a fraudulent act

1) Legal nature of the instant monetary payment act

If a debtor donated his/her own property to another person in excess of his/her obligation, such act would constitute a fraudulent act, barring special circumstances. However, in cases where the debtor's joint security of other creditors is reduced by repaying his/her obligation to a specific creditor under excess of obligation, the repayment does not constitute, in principle, a fraudulent act unless the debtor, in collusion with some creditors, made performance with the intent to impair other creditors, in principle. However, in cases where the creditor seeking revocation of fraudulent act claims that the debtor's monetary payment to the beneficiary was a donation of the debtor's existing obligation, the beneficiary is not a denial of the creditor's assertion, and as seen in the above legal principle, there is a significant difference between the debtor's monetary payment and the creditor's assertion and proof depending on whether the debtor's monetary payment was a donation or repayment. Accordingly, it should be proved that the above monetary payment constitutes a donation to be recognized as a fraudulent act, or that it constitutes a creditor's intent to harm the creditor, etc. (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2005Da286867, May 27, 20007).
