2. Summary of the parties’ assertion

A. After concluding the instant construction contract, the Plaintiff asserted that the design drawing was requested to the Defendant, but the Defendant did not confirm it, and did not perform its duties even after receiving KRW 20,000,000 from the down payment in order to proceed with the matters necessary for the construction permit and receive the building permit. The Plaintiff did not issue the performance guarantee insurance policy for the construction contract.

As the completion date of the instant construction contract was April 20, 2018, but did not proceed with the construction permit, the Plaintiff expressed his/her intent to cancel the instant construction contract to the Defendant on April 26, 2018.

Therefore, the defendant is in accordance with the cancellation of the contract due to default.
