However, in the third bidding, the Plaintiff participated in the bidding and bid at the lowest price of KRW 163,50,000, and the bid was awarded at KRW 163,500,000, which was the lowest price, but the Defendant and the Defendant entered into the first purchase contract on E. B. T. B., but the Defendant purchased the first formula from the Oran Electronic Co., Ltd. on E., Ltd., and established it to the Non-Party B., and thus, the above purchase contract was impossible to perform. Therefore, the Plaintiff cancelled the above purchase contract with the copy of the complaint of this case and sought compensation for damages incurred by the Defendant’s nonperformance of the above contract.

2. Determination as to a claim for damages due to nonperformance or tort

In light of Gap evidence Nos. 3-1, 2 (Report on Materials Purchase), 3 (Report on Materials Purchase), 4 (Written Examination of Professional Engineer), 5 (Minutes), and 4-1, 3 (Written Examination of Evidence Nos. 4, without dispute over each establishment, the plaintiff's testimony at the witness interest rate of the witness (Provided, That this part is excluded from the witness's testimony which is not believed earlier) was made from the defendant on Dec. 2, 198 as to the witness interest rate of the non-party 3-1, 2 (Report on Materials Purchase), 3 (Report on Materials Purchase of Professional), 4 (Written Examination of Professional Engineer), 5 (Written Examination), and 4 (Written Examination of Evidence), the plaintiff did not request the plaintiff to submit a written estimate to the defendant to purchase the above 1, 4, 1988, and the plaintiff did not request the plaintiff to purchase the above 4, 1, 1989, 2, 3, 4, 1989.

The plaintiff asserts that, inasmuch as the plaintiff requested the plaintiff to participate in the above four biddings, and the plaintiff submitted the quotation and specifications for the above four biddings to the defendant, and consulted several times, the defendant did not notify the plaintiff of the execution date of the above four biddings in advance, and the plaintiff did not deprive the plaintiff of the opportunity to participate in the above four biddings because the plaintiff did not notify the plaintiff of the execution date of the above four biddings, the plaintiff's deprivation of the opportunity to participate in the above four biddings constitutes default of obligation or tort, and thus, the plaintiff sought compensation for damages caused to the plaintiff

Therefore, unless one of the parties to the contract revokes or encourages the other party's legitimate expectation or trust in regard to the conclusion of the contract, or suspends the negotiation of the contract without reasonable grounds, one party to the contract shall be liable for the other party's expectation of the formation of the contract and the expenses incurred by the other party in accordance with the principle of freedom of contract formation even if the other party to the contract revokes the negotiation of the contract, and the other party who believed the formation of the contract shall be liable for the expenses incurred by the other party at his own risk and responsibility.

Therefore, even if the defendant reversed the contract negotiation by failing to notify the other party of the date of the above four bidding execution, it does not constitute a default or tort.
