[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 4, Eul evidence Nos. 7 through 11, 14, and 16 (including provisional number; hereinafter the same shall apply), the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Judgment on the plaintiff's assertion
A. The plaintiff's assertion
For the following reasons, Nonparty 1 has a claim for return of trust property, a claim for return of sale price, and a claim for return of unjust enrichment against the Defendant. Since each of the above claims and the claims for seizure under the collection order of this case are identical in nature or cause thereof, the Defendant, the collection obligee, is obligated to pay the Plaintiff, as the collection obligee, the money stated in the claim, such as return of trust property
1) Nonparty 1 is the buyer who purchased the instant apartment △△△△△△△△△ from the Acheon Construction. The instant apartment △△△△△△△ was sold again to a third party, and this constitutes “a case where the trust real estate was disposed of before the termination of the trust period” under Article 2(2) of the instant trust agreement, and thus, the trust contract on the said apartment was terminated. Accordingly, Nonparty 1, as the buyer, has the right to return the trust property to the Defendant, the trustee, on the ground that the trust contract was terminated in part.
2) As above, the sales contract in this case was cancelled implicitly or at least at the time of delivery of the copy of the complaint of this case due to the re-sale of the apartment house △△△△△△△, and thus, if the trust contract in this case is settled accordingly, the obligation to return the sale price to the buyer constitutes either the “expenses related to the trust contract” as stipulated in Article 21(1)1 of the trust contract of this case or the “expenses related to the instant additional agreement” as stipulated in Article 6 of the instant additional agreement and Article 20(1)1 of the instant additional agreement, or the obligation to settle it in the prior order.
In addition, the Acheon Construction, the truster of the instant trust contract, changed the order of funding execution under Article 20(1) of the instant business agreement with the permission of the court after receiving the decision on commencing rehabilitation procedures, and the Defendant impliedly consented to the change in the order of execution.
Thus, the defendant is obligated to return the sales price paid by the non-party 1 to the non-party 1 due to the cancellation of the sales contract in this case.
3) Of Article 20(1) of the instant business agreement, matters related to the rights and obligations of the buyer and buyer are a contract for a third party with the purport of imposing the obligation to execute funds on the buyer and buyer who are the third party. Also, the “expenses for trust treatment” under the said provision includes expenses for settlement in cases where the subject matter of trust is disposed of by re-sale method, and the pre-sale contract is cancelled due to the cancellation of the pre-sale contract. Furthermore, in lieu of Nonparty 1, the Plaintiff expressed his intent to make profits to the Defendant on behalf of Nonparty 1, the non-party 1 may directly file a claim for the return of the sale price against the Defendant. Meanwhile, the “expenses for trust treatment” under the said provision also constitutes “right arising in the course of performing trust affairs” under the proviso of Article 22(1) of the Trust Act, and thus, the trustee is obligated to pay such
4) Even if the Defendant’s holding of the sales price paid by the buyer in relation to Acheon Construction, even if there are legal grounds, the holding of the sales price as it is in relation to Nonparty 1, the buyer, as it is, ought to be deemed that there is no legal ground against the concept of fairness and justice. Therefore, the Defendant is liable to return unjust enrichment equivalent to the sales price to Nonparty 1.
B. Determination
1) The ground for the Plaintiff’s claim seems to be premised on the fact that the trust contract and the business agreement in this case directly extend to Nonparty 1. However, it is clear that the trust contract and the business agreement in this case were concluded between Acheon Construction and the Defendant, etc., and in light of the language, structure, purport, etc. of the relevant provisions, Article 21(1) of the trust contract in this case and Article 20(1) of the business agreement in this case merely determined the trustee’s liability for expenses incurred in the trust business or determined the order of payment, method, procedure, etc. of expenses. Therefore, the provisions cited by the Plaintiff cannot be interpreted as having a third party, other than the parties to the trust contract in this case, etc. in this case, for the purpose of acquiring any right against the Defendant, who is the trustee. On other premise, the Plaintiff’s claim in this other premise is without merit (Supreme Court Decision 2008Da19034 Decided July 8, 2009, which presented by the Plaintiff, it appears that it is inappropriate for the trustee’s claim to refund of the sale proceeds and the sale price.
2) Furthermore, solely on the circumstances cited by the Plaintiff, the failure of the Defendant to return the sales price that Nonparty 1 paid to Nonparty 1 to Nonparty 1 is obviously contrary to the concept of fairness and justice in relation to Nonparty 1. The Plaintiff’s assertion on this part is without merit.
C. Sub-committee
Therefore, since there is no claim subject to the seizure order of this case, the plaintiff's claim of this case is without merit.
3. Determination as to the application for modification
A. The parties' assertion
1) Plaintiff
According to Article 18(2) of the instant business agreement, the Defendant, who is a party to the said business agreement, agreed to pay the Plaintiff the obligation to compensate for the loans, which is the intermediate payment loan, and this includes that, in the event the sales contract is cancelled, the said loan against the Plaintiff is repaid with the sales price paid by the buyer. However, the Defendant refused to return the intermediate payment to the Plaintiff, a bank dealing with intermediate payment, despite the cancellation of the instant sales contract. As such, the Defendant is refusing to return the intermediate payment to the Plaintiff, which
2) Defendant
It is not permissible to add the Plaintiff’s above claim for damages against the Defendant as a separate cause of claim because it is not recognized as identical to the claim for collection of this case.
B. Determination
The alteration of a claim may be made within the extent that the basis of the claim is not altered, unless it substantially delays the proceedings (Article 262(1) of the Civil Procedure Act), and when the court deems that the alteration of the purport or cause of the claim is not correct, it shall make a decision not to permit the alteration ex officio or upon the other party’s request (Article 263 of the Civil Procedure Act).
In the instant case, the Plaintiff filed a claim for the collection of the claim against Nonparty 1 for the claim that was initially issued the instant collection order regarding the claim for the refund of the sale price claim against the Defendant, but the Plaintiff filed a preliminary claim for the modification of the claim, which would cause damage to the Plaintiff, by the statement in the preparatory brief dated April 24, 2017, in the first instance.
However, the above causes of a claim added in the trial are based on facts different from those of the existing causes of a claim for collection, and its legal composition is entirely different, and the facts that form the basis of the legal relationship are changed, and it cannot be deemed as having the identity of the basis of the claim.
Therefore, the plaintiff's request for change of claim is not permissible.
4. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case shall be dismissed as it is without merit. Since the judgment of the court of first instance is just in conclusion, the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed, and the plaintiff's application for change of claim at the court of first instance is illegal and not permitted. It is so decided as per Disposition.
