[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 9, Eul evidence No. 1, the purport of the whole pleadings
2. The plaintiff's assertion
Since the money paid by the Plaintiff to the EE Bank account of DDD Co., Ltd. was erroneously transferred by mistake by the Plaintiff, the distribution schedule should be revised to distribute the money distributed to the Defendant to the Plaintiff.
3. Determination
Even if the plaintiff paid KRW 13,552,00 to the ECE bank account of DDD, the company acquired deposit claims equivalent to the amount of deposit against DDD, and the plaintiff has a right to claim the return of unjust enrichment equivalent to the amount of error entered into against DDD, and the plaintiff's right to claim the return of unjust enrichment against DDD is a general claim with no right to claim the return of unjust enrichment. Thus, even if the plaintiff seized and collected the deposit claims against DDDD's EE bank based on the right to claim the return of unjust enrichment, it is possible to participate in the distribution as a general creditor, and it is not possible to request the defendant who seized the same deposit claims to refuse compulsory execution or to claim the status of priority against the defendant who seized the same deposit claims (see Supreme Court Decision 2009Da69746, Dec. 10, 2009). Meanwhile, the defendant's national tax claims against DD corporation against the defendant in the procedure of distributing DD's dividends more than the plaintiff's claim for return of unjust enrichment.
4. Conclusion
Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
