C. From 2002 to 2008, the Defendant loaned funds from the Defendant’s own funds to the trust account stipulated in the instant trust agreement from the Defendant’s own funds mixed with the outside loans (hereinafter “the instant loan”). Of these, the loan from the outside loan is referred to as “loan from the outside loan outside of the instant case,” and the Defendant’s loan from the outside loan is referred to as “loan from the outside loan outside of the instant case.”

In addition, as shown in attached Form 1, the sum of KRW 4,423,732,59 was transferred from the trust account under the trust contract of this case to the defendant's own account (hereinafter "the transfer money of this case") as shown in attached Form 1 as interest on the loan of this case, and the part arising from the loan of this case from the outside loan of this case is "transfer money related to the outside loan of this case", and the part arising from the loan of this case is "transfer money related to the own loan of this case").

[Ground of recognition] A without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 5 (including the number of each branch; hereinafter the same shall apply), Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 4, the result of the appraisal by the first instance trial appraiser 00, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Determination as to the assertion on the cause of claim

A. Relevant legal principles

According to the main text of Article 31(1) of the former Trust Act (amended by Act No. 7428, Jul. 25, 201; hereinafter “former Trust Act”), transactions conducted in violation of the above provision are null and void, unless any special circumstance exists to the contrary, in which the trust property is its own property or it is difficult to obtain the right thereof, and transactions conducted in violation of the above provision are invalid. Meanwhile, in the case of a trust other than money trust, where the trustee is a trust company, Article 12(1)2 of the Trust Act (proviso 3 of Article 31(1) of the Trust Act). In light of the fact that there is a very strict regulation by excluding the application of the proviso of Article 31(1)2 of the Trust Act, the mere fact that transactions between the trust property and the trust property conducted by the trust company are beneficial to the beneficiary cannot be deemed valid (see Supreme Court Decision 2006Da62461, Jan. 30, 2009).

B. Determination

In light of the above legal principles, the loan of this case is null and void because it violated Article 31 (1) 4 of the former Trust Act, and it cannot be deemed that the loan of this case was incurred a loan equivalent to interest due to invalid loan claims. Thus, the defendant is liable to compensate for delay damages as of September 18, 2014 from the day following the day on which the plaintiffs filed a claim for recovery of the above trust property to the defendant, which is the remainder after deducting the total transfer amount of 547,506,058 Won 7) from the total transfer amount of this case from the total transfer amount of 4,423,732,559 won under Article 38-5 of the former Trust Act (Article 38-5 of the former Trust Act).

3. The defendant's assertion and defense

A. The assertion that it is not a violation of Article 31(1) of the former Trust Act

The Defendant’s lending of its own funds to ① The nature of the instant trust agreement, which is a “loan-type land trust.”

In addition, it is valid in light of the relevant laws and regulations, or that it is beneficial to the plaintiffs, so it is not valid in that it is not an act. <3> The defendant argues that it is valid in that it was to perform its financing obligation as stipulated in the instant trust contract, or that it is valid in that it was consented by the plaintiffs or was made by the plaintiffs' active

On the other hand, this case's own loan becomes null and void due to the violation of Article 31 (1) of the former Trust Act, which is a mandatory provision, and therefore, the defendant's assertion that this case's loan cannot be deemed valid only with the above reasons of the defendant's assertion. Thus, the above arguments are without merit.

(b) Mutual aid against the opportunity cost.

If the defendant did not own own loan of this case, he would have been able to make profits from at least 2,135,885,907 won by operating the loan of this case for other purposes, and he would have suffered losses from the loan of this case (hereinafter referred to as the "Defendant's opportunity cost of assertion"), and the defendant's opportunity cost of assertion falls under the damages that the defendant incurred without negligence for performing the trust affairs, and thus, the defendant may claim compensation against the plaintiffs pursuant to Article 42 of the former Trust Act, and thus, the defendant must deduct this from the trust recovery cost.

On the other hand, Article 42(1) of the former Trust Act provides that "any taxes, public charges, and other expenses borne by the trustee in connection with the trust property, or any damages incurred to the trustee in order to perform the trust affairs, may be exercised in preference to other rights-holders by selling the trust property and taking precedence over any other rights-holder." Since "tax, public charges, and other expenses borne with respect to the trust property under the above Act and subordinate statutes" refers to the expenses actually paid or borne by the trustee for the trust affairs, the defendant's assertion that the opportunity cost of claiming the trust corresponds to the expenses under Article 42 of the former Trust Act is without merit.

(c) Claims for deduction equivalent to statutory interest;

The defendant may claim compensation of the amount equivalent to the commercial interest on the loans of this case against the plaintiffs under Article 42 of the former Trust Act. Thus, the defendant's assertion that KRW 2,271,677,579, the amount equivalent to the commercial interest on the loans of this case, which is the legal interest on the loans of this case, should be deducted within the scope of the defendant's restoration to the original state. Thus, the loan of this case is null and void as determined above. Thus, the defendant's assertion is without merit, since the commercial interest on the invalid loans of this case cannot be deemed to be the expenses properly borne by the defendant for the execution of the trust affairs of this case.

In addition, Article 688(1) and (9) of the Civil Act can be applied by analogy of Article 55(2)10 of the Commercial Act to the plaintiffs. Thus, the defendant's assertion that the amount equivalent to the statutory interest on self-financing of this case should be deducted within the scope of restoration to the original state of the defendant. Thus, in a case where there is no law that directly provides for a certain matter, the interpretation refers to the application of the law that provides the most similar matter to the above matter. Thus, as Article 42 of the former Trust Act explicitly provides for the trustee's claim for reimbursement of expenses, Article 688(1) of the Civil Act or Article 55(2) of the Commercial Act can not be applied by analogy. Thus, the defendant's assertion is without merit.

D. (1) The Defendant asserted that the Defendant’s right to claim the recovery of trust property of the Plaintiffs could be exercised from the time when the Defendant transferred the funds to the Plaintiff, and thus, the Defendant’s right to claim the recovery of trust property of the Plaintiffs had run a five-year commercial statute of limitations from the time of each transfer.

(B) On the starting date of the extinctive prescription, Article 166(1) of the Civil Act provides that "the extinctive prescription shall run from the time when a claim can be exercised." The plaintiffs can claim the restoration of each of the transferred money to the trust property of this case on the ground that each of the transferred money related to one's own funds of this case was damaged by the trust property of this case. As alleged by the plaintiffs, the date of final transfer, the time of recognition of the plaintiff, the date of public notice of the defendant's disposal, the date of completion of the trust business of this case, or the date of settlement under the trust contract of this case cannot claim the recovery of the trust property. Thus, the initial date of the extinctive prescription is each the date of transfer of the transferred money of this case. (c) If the trust is divided into health class for the period of the extinctive prescription, the trust of this case constitutes a trust acquired by the defendant for business operation of the trust of this case.

① However, since the commercial prescription system under Article 64 of the Commercial Act is a system due to the unique nature of the commercial relationship such as large volume, fixed and swift commercial transaction, it shall be deemed that the period of extinctive prescription of ten years is not the period of extinctive prescription of five years, but the period of extinctive prescription of ten years (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2002Da64957, 64964, Apr. 8, 2003; 2004Da22742, Nov. 10, 2005; 2) since the period of trust is set for a long time, the period of trust shall not be deemed to apply mutatis mutandis to a claim for return of unjust enrichment or a claim for damages related to commercial transaction, and it shall not be deemed that the period of extinctive prescription of a truster’s right to claim restitution of trust property is more than 16 years, and it shall not be deemed to apply mutatis mutandis to a truster’s right to claim restitution of trust property.

It is reasonable to see that it is ten years of age.

(D) Accordingly, the plaintiffs' right to recover trust property against the defendant has expired when 10 years have elapsed from the date of each transfer.

(2) As to the Plaintiff’s re-appeal (A) the Plaintiffs re-claimed that the extinctive prescription of the right to recover trust property was interrupted upon the filing of the instant lawsuit by April 10, 2013 or the filing of the application for change of claim on September 17, 2014. (b) The grounds for the existence of the extinctive prescription system are to respect the permanent state of fact and not protect a locked person on the right. In particular, the latter is meaningful. As such, in a case where the right holder expressed that he is not a locked person on the right by asserting his right, the interruption of prescription becomes a cause for interrupting prescription. As such, a judicial claim as a cause for interrupting prescription is not limited to a request for the performance or confirmation of the right itself, but even in a case where a claim for confirmation of the basic legal relationship in which the said right occurred, if it can be deemed that the claim for confirmation of the legal relationship can be a means for the realization of the right arising therefrom, and thus, is not a locked person on the right, the claim is also included in the basic legal relationship (see Supreme Court en banc Decision 31393Da.

On the other hand, in a case where the part of the claim can be specified, the interruption of prescription becomes effective only when there is no effect of interrupting prescription for the remaining part, and when a lawsuit is filed with respect to the remaining part or a document expanding such claim is submitted to the court (see Supreme Court Decision 74Da1557 delivered on February 25, 1975).

(C) On the other hand, the plaintiffs asserted that the part of the trust proceeds should be returned to the plaintiffs since the plaintiffs received interest from the trust account in the complaint of this case and the interest is null and void. ① Article 38 of the former Trust Act stipulates the trustee's right to claim damages and the right to claim the recovery of trust property concurrently and does not distinguish both requirements. ② Article 43 of the current Trust Act does not specify the two. ② Article 43 of the current Trust Act provides that where the trustee is unable or considerably difficult to recover the trust property due to the trustee's breach of his/her duty, where excessive expenses are incurred in restitution, or where there are other special circumstances where reinstatement is inappropriate, it is possible to claim damages. ③ The grounds for the plaintiffs' right to claim damages and the right to claim the recovery of trust property are different from the expression, and ③ the grounds for the claim stated in the application for the alteration of the above claim are the same and is substantially the same.

However, the plaintiffs filed a claim with the limit of KRW 100,00,100 in the complaint of this case, and filed a claim with the extension of the claim and the remainder of the claim. Accordingly, in accordance with the above legal principles, the prescription period is interrupted only for the claim for the recovery of trust property of this case, and with respect to the remaining amount of the claim for the recovery of trust property, the prescription period is interrupted at the time of submission of the request for alteration of the above claim.

(3) Sub-decisions

Therefore, the Defendant’s defense of extinctive prescription is justified within the following scope of recognition (A). (b) The Defendant’s defense of extinctive prescription is reversely counted from April 10, 2013, which was the date of the instant lawsuit, and is 10 years later. < Amended by Act No. 6814, Apr. 4, 2003>

9. The Plaintiffs’ right to claim for the recovery of trust property was extinguished by prescription, as the transfer of each of the funds from Nos. 1. and 3. In 2002, the Plaintiffs’ right to claim for the recovery of trust property was extinguished by prescription.

(B) Of the instant lawsuit filed on April 10, 2013, the interruption of extinctive prescription took effect only for KRW 100,00,000, which is a part of the claim amount recorded in the complaint, due to the instant lawsuit filed on April 10, 2013. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs’ right to claim the recovery of trust property against KRW 1,291,00,038,707, excluding the total amount of the instant self-related funds 1,391,038,80, out of KRW 1,00,00,000,000, excluding the above KRW 1,00,00,000,000,000.

( 다 ) 2004년 이체금 : 이 사건 청구변경신청서의 제1심법원 제출일인 2014. 9. 17. 부터 역산하여 10년인 2004. 9. 16. 이전에 별지2. 중 순번 11. 내지 16. 의 각 이체금 ( 합계 795, 001, 348원 12 ) ) 의 이체가 이루어졌기에 이 중 자기자금 관련 이체금 부분에 관한 원고들의 신탁재산회복청구권은 시효로 소멸하였다. 반면 2004. 9. 16. 이후에 별지2. 중 순번 17. 내지 21. 의 각 이체금 ( 합계 727, 234, 233원 131 ) 의 이체가 이루어졌기에 이 중 자기자금 관련 이체금 부분에 관한 원고들의 신탁재산회복청구권에 관하여는 시효중단의 효력이 발생하였다. 따라서 2004년 자기자금 관련 이체금 합계 1, 494, 995, 888원 중 765, 107, 398원 [ = 1, 494, 995, 888원 × 795, 001, 348원 ︰ ( 795, 001, 348원 + 727, 234, 233원 ), 원 미만 버림 ] 에 관한 원고들의 신탁재산회복청구권은 시효로 소멸하였다고 봄이 상당하다 . ( 라 ) 2005년 ~ 2008년 이체금 : 이 부분 소멸시효는 이 사건 청구원인 변경신청서의 제출로 인하여 모두 시효가 중단되었다 .

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the defendant has the obligation to pay the trust account of this case to the defendant 1, 560, 5330 won ( = 2.b. 3, 876, 226, 501 won - 3. D. - 2, 315, 693, 1714) and its purport is to seek payment of the above money to the trust account of this case in light of the fact that the defendant's obligation to pay the above money to the defendant for the trust account of this case is reasonable to dispute over the existence and scope of the obligation to repay the above money from September 19, 2014 to the defendant, and that the defendant's obligation to pay damages to the trust account of this case is against the trust contract of this case as stipulated in the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Promotion of Legal Proceedings, etc. to the extent that the defendant's obligation to pay damages to the trust account of this case to the defendant for delay of its execution due to the defendant's obligation to pay damages to the trust account of this case.

Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims of this case are accepted within the scope of the above recognition, and the remaining claims are dismissed without merit. Since the judgment of the court of first instance is partially unfair with the conclusion, the judgment of the court of first instance is partially accepted, and it is decided to revise the judgment of the court of first instance as above. It is so decided as per Disposition.
