A. A. Around September 2014, the Plaintiff entered into an investment agreement with the Defendant to purchase and develop forest land, etc. (hereinafter “instant investment agreement”).

During the period from September 25, 2014 to December 10, 2014, the Plaintiff remitted total of KRW 71 million to the Defendant in accordance with the instant investment agreement.

B. Since then, around December 2014, the Defendant prepared and rendered to the Plaintiff a letter of claim for the return of borrowed money (hereinafter “each of the instant forms”) dated December 10, 2014, stating that “The Defendant shall pay the Plaintiff KRW 71 million in installments from June 25, 2016 to March 25, 2017.”

[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1, Eul evidence Nos. 2 and 4, and judgment of the purport of whole pleadings

A. As long as a disposal document is deemed to be authentic in its formation, the court shall recognize the existence and content of declaration of intent in accordance with the language and text stated in the disposal document, unless there is any clear and acceptable counter-proof to deny the contents of the statement.
