2. The parties' assertion

A. The sales contract between the Plaintiff and the Defendant established the instant apartment as the subject matter of sale and the sales price of KRW 398,500,000 (hereinafter “instant sales contract”). The Defendant voluntarily returned the amount of KRW 7,00,000 received from the Plaintiff to the Plaintiff and expressed its intent to refuse to perform its obligations.

Therefore, since the sales contract of this case was cancelled due to the defendant's rejection of performance, the defendant is liable for compensation for damages suffered by the plaintiff.

The plaintiff believed that the sales contract of this case will be implemented, and sold the sales right held by the plaintiff, and in the apartment of this case.
