[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 7, Eul evidence Nos. 1 and 2, the purport of the whole pleadings
2. The allegations by the parties and the determination thereof
(a) Return of refund money;
According to the above facts, the Plaintiff, upon entering into the instant agreement with the Defendant and paying the contributions of its members on May 2, 2019, lost the qualification for the Defendant’s membership on grounds of the disqualification for the requirements of the householder. Therefore, barring any special circumstance, the Defendant is obligated to settle accounts at the time of completion of the project at the time of completion of the project, after deducting KRW 15 million from the total amount of KRW 83 million paid by the Plaintiff pursuant to Article 12(4) of the instant amendment, from the total amount of KRW 83 million paid by the Plaintiff as the promotion cost.
(b) Time to refund a refund (request for future performance);
1) Parties’ assertion
The plaintiff shall request in advance the return of the refund money by using the term "the time of completion of the inspection for use", which is the specific time of the "the time of completion of the project" under Article 12 (4) of the amended Rules of this case.
In this regard, the defendant asserts to the effect that "the completion of business" should be made an indefinite term.
2) Determination
Although there is no definition on the defendant's "business", the amended regulations of this case aim at stabilizing the residential life of union members (Article 2), and Article 49 (1) of the Housing Act provides that the business entity shall undergo a pre-use inspection on the completion of "housing Construction Project or Housing Site Creation Project" implemented after approval of the business plan. Thus, the "time of completion of the business" under the amended regulations of this case should be deemed to be the time when the housing construction project, which is a general defendant's objective business, has been completed and the use inspection has been completed from the approval right holder under Article 49 (1) of the Housing Act. Therefore, it is reasonable to view that the amended regulations of this case is a provision that stipulates that the defendant shall refund the contributions to the plaintiff by making it definite whether or not "the completion of the business", i.e., the completion of the pre-use inspection under Article 49 (1) of the Housing Act.
The defendant's above assertion is not accepted because it is not clear at any time when the business is completed.
Therefore, the Plaintiff’s claim for refund against the Defendant constitutes a claim that may arise in the future. The Defendant’s claim for refund against the Defendant constitutes a claim that may arise in the future. Moreover, according to the purport of the entire pleadings, it is determined that the performance cannot be expected even if the deadline is due. Therefore, the Plaintiff’s claim for refund is required in advance.
Therefore, the Defendant is obligated to pay to the Plaintiff the amount of KRW 68,00,000 as well as damages for delay calculated at the rate of 5% per annum from the day after the completion of the above pre-use inspection to the day of full payment under Article 49(1) of the Housing Act with the indefinite term of completion of the pre-use inspection of the instant project.
3. Conclusion
If so, the plaintiff's claim of this case shall be accepted on the ground of the reasons.
