3. The assertion and judgment
A. The plaintiffs' assertion
The plaintiffs asserted that the plaintiffs' claims against theCC Construction (the plaintiff AOOO, the plaintiff Park BOOOB) have priority over the defendant's national tax claims under Article 38 (1) of the Labor Standards Act, and that the plaintiffs have the obligation to distribute the deposits of theCC construction collected from the DO bank to the defendant under Articles 80 through 81 of the National Tax Collection Act. However, the defendant asserts that since it was appropriated for the defendant's national tax claims, it should be returned as unjust enrichment.
B. Determination
According to Article 38 of the Labor Standards Act and Article 35 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, labor claims are priority claims. According to Articles 80 and 81 of the National Tax Collection Act, the head of a tax office has a duty to distribute money collected from a third debtor to a labor claim. However, according to the above basic facts,CC Construction, which is a debtor, is currently under bankruptcy proceedings on March 27, 2012, and thereafter, the defendant collected deposits fromCC Construction's D bank and appropriated such deposits to its own claims. Whether the above collection and appropriation are legitimate or not shall be governed by the Debtor Rehabilitation and Bankruptcy Act (hereinafter "Act"). However, according to this Act, both claims constitute estate claims in proportion to the above estate claims, the plaintiffs and the defendant are entitled to occasional repayment from the bankruptcy foundation, and the above estate claims cannot be individually enforced against the assets ofCC Construction, which are the bankrupt foundation before the bankruptcy is declared. Since Article 349 of the Act is exceptionally established, the defendant's assertion that the above collection and repayment claims are not reasonable in light of the above bankruptcy claim's bankruptcy claims against the above.
4. Conclusion
Thus, the plaintiffs' claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit.
