(2) Even if the right of representation for domestic affairs is not recognized, the defendant bears the responsibility of representation under Articles 125 through 129 of the Civil Act.

(3) Even if the Defendant did not assume the above apparent agent liability, the instant construction contract is valid since the Defendant subsequently ratified the instant construction contract that was concluded by an unauthorized agent.

(4) Accordingly, the Defendant is obligated to pay to the Plaintiff the construction cost of KRW 22,65 million (=236.5 million - KRW 10 million) and delay damages therefrom, which shall be paid to the Plaintiff.

B. (1) There is no dispute between the parties that the following seals of the defendant's trade name, as stated in Gap's certificate No. 1 (Standard Subcontract for Construction Works), will be made by the defendant's employee, on the other hand, as to the assertion of authorized representation.
