2. The parties' assertion
A. The Plaintiff’s assertion was delayed to borrow the remainder and did not pay the remainder by the due date for the remainder payment. The Defendants also did not provide performance for the transfer of ownership of the instant real estate, and were in a situation of delay in the performance of both parties since October 16, 2015. However, the instant sales contract became impossible due to the Defendants’ sale of the instant real estate to Nonparty E on December 19, 2015 and the transfer of ownership registration was completed on December 29, 2015.
Since the instant sales contract was impossible to perform due to the reasons attributable to the Defendants, the Plaintiff is released by the delivery of a duplicate of the instant complaint.
Therefore, the Defendants are liable to compensate for the damages of KRW 30 million, which is a double of the down payment received from the Plaintiff pursuant to Article 8 of the instant sales contract.
B. The defendants' assertion of this case.
