Title

D. Determination

6. According to the above ○○○○ apartment lease agreement on behalf of the Plaintiff, it seems that the said ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ apartment lease agreement was concluded and it was difficult to conduct a normal legal act at the time of remitting money to the Plaintiffs ( around October 203). ② In light of the fact that ○○○ apartment was divided into and transferred for each of the Plaintiffs, it appears that the said ○○○ apartment was in depth. ③ If ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ apartment was to pay KRW 280,00,00,000, it was possible to fully repay the money, and it was more likely that ○○○○○○○○ apartment lease agreement was issued on behalf of the Plaintiff at the time of the above ○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○ apartment lease agreement, and there was no possibility that ○○○○○ apartment lease agreement would have been issued on the basis of 3rd,000.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claim of this case shall be dismissed as it is without merit, and the judgment of the court of first instance which has different conclusions is unfair, so the plaintiffs' claim shall be dismissed. It is so decided as per Disposition.
