3. Determination as to the claim based on the obligee's right of revocation (main claim)
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The Defendants, in collusion with Defendant 1 to evade the claim for reimbursement against the Plaintiff, completed the registration of the ownership transfer registration and the claim for ownership transfer registration of this case. In addition, even if Defendant 1 sold the instant real estate to Defendant 3 and Nonparty 1 as a substitute payment in order to pay the loan debt to Defendant 1, Defendant 1’s wife, the Plaintiff offered the instant real estate as a substitute payment to Defendant 3 and Nonparty 1, which is the only property of Defendant 1, as a substitute payment, with the intent of having Defendant 3 and Nonparty 1 obtain the satisfaction of the claim preferentially only with Defendant 3 and Nonparty 1, by being aware that the joint security of other creditors, including the Plaintiff, has decreased and that it would be more unfavorable than the previous one. Accordingly, the instant real estate constitutes both the instant transfer registration and the provisional registration of ownership transfer claim and the fraudulent act, and each of them constitutes a fraudulent act, at the same time the Plaintiff’s obligee’s cancellation of the sales contract and the reservation of the ownership transfer registration and the claim for ownership transfer registration of this case.
B. Determination as to the establishment of fraudulent act
In order to evade Defendant 1’s indemnity liability against the Plaintiff, there is no evidence to acknowledge the completion of the registration of ownership transfer and ownership transfer claim.
In addition, a claim that can be protected by the obligee’s right of revocation must exist or at least there should be legal relations that form the basis for the establishment of the claim. In light of the above facts, in a case where the defendant 1 and the defendant 3 and the non-party 1 were leased the form of the sales contract of this case on September 30, 200 and the non-party 2 could not repay the above loan obligations to the defendant 3 and non-party 1 until the end of December 2000, it is reasonable to view that the ownership transfer registration of this case was completed on January 9, 201 based on the above promise of accord and satisfaction. However, if the payment was made on the basis of the promise of accord and satisfaction, whether the payment constitutes fraudulent act should be determined at the time of the promise of accord and satisfaction, unless it is clearly different from the content of the promise of accord and satisfaction, and as long as the ownership transfer registration of this case was not established after the determination of the plaintiff’s right of reimbursement was made at the time of the above promise of accord and satisfaction.
4. Determination as to a claim based on a creditor's subrogation right
A. The plaintiff's assertion
Even if Defendant 1’s act of selling the instant real estate as a substitute payment does not constitute a fraudulent act, the joint purchase of the instant real estate by the Defendant, etc. and the completion of the registration of ownership transfer under Defendant 2’s sole name constitutes a title trust with respect to Defendant 2’s shares (19/24), the registration of ownership transfer in Defendant 3 and Nonparty 1’s title transfer corresponding to the said shares is null and void, and Defendant 3 and Nonparty 1’s share in the provisional registration of ownership transfer claim under Defendant 3’s title transfer claim. Accordingly, in order to preserve the above claim for reimbursement against Defendant 1, the Plaintiff seek implementation of the registration procedure for ownership transfer and the cancellation of ownership transfer claim against Defendant 2 on behalf of the above Defendant 1.
B. Determination
Article 271(1) of the Civil Act provides that several persons shall be jointly owned when they own an object as a partnership under the provisions of law or a contract. Article 704 of the Civil Act provides that an association member’s investment and other property of the association shall be jointly owned by the association members. Thus, if an association whose business purpose is to carry out a business as an association or an association’s property, it shall be jointly owned by the association pursuant to Article 271(1) of the Civil Act. However, if the association did not make a joint ownership registration as to each share in its name, it shall be deemed that the association member held title trust with respect to each share in the name of the association members (see Supreme Court Decision 200Da30622, Jun. 14, 200). In this case, it shall be deemed that the ownership transfer registration of the real estate was null and void by the Plaintiff’s ownership transfer registration for the purpose of selling the real estate under the above 20/127 (60,000,00 won).
On the other hand, the Plaintiff, as a pecuniary claim against Defendant 1, has exceeded KRW 92,381,187, and Defendant 1 is insolvent. As such, the Plaintiff may exercise the right to claim the cancellation of each registration by subrogation of Defendant 1 as to the ownership transfer registration and the right to claim the transfer registration with respect to shares of 19/24, out of the instant real estate against Defendant 1 by subrogation of Defendant 1.
The Defendants asserted to the effect that Defendant 2 transferred the loan claims against Defendant 3 and Nonparty 1 and concluded a sales contract on the instant real estate between Defendant 1 and Defendant 2, and that the Defendant et al. did not conclude a trade agreement with the joint ownership of the instant real estate. The Defendants asserted to the effect that Defendant 2 did not have concluded a trade agreement with the joint ownership of the instant real estate. The Defendants’ assertion is without merit, on the grounds that: (a) part of the evidence Nos. 8 and 9 are consistent with the fact that Defendant 2 was transferred the loan claims against Defendant 3 and Nonparty 2; and (b) part of the testimony of Nonparty 1 and Nonparty 2 in light of the testimony of Nonparty 3 and Nonparty 1 and Nonparty 1 in the first instance trial (the Nonparty 1 stated that the aforementioned claim against Nonparty 2 was not transferred to Defendant 2); (c) there is no evidence to acknowledge it otherwise; and (d) there is no other evidence to acknowledge it.
5. Conclusion
Therefore, Defendant 1, jointly and severally with Co-Defendant 1 of the first instance trial, has the obligation to register the cancellation of ownership transfer registration of this case with Defendant 1, and to register the cancellation of ownership transfer of this case with Defendant 2, Defendant 3 has the obligation to register the cancellation of ownership transfer of this case with Defendant 1 and to register the cancellation of ownership transfer of this case with Defendant 1 as well as the part against Defendant 1 of the above defendant 1 as the above defendant's appeal from March 26, 201 to April 27, 2001, the delivery date of a copy of the complaint of this case from March 27, 201, the delivery date of a copy of the complaint of this case from March 26, 201, and 25% per annum from the next day to the day of complete payment.

Accordingly, the above part of the plaintiff's appeal against the above defendant 2 and the defendant 3.
