(2) Article 23(1)4 of the Act provides that “The act of trading with the other party by unfairly taking advantage of his/her position in his/her transaction” is an unfair trade practice. Nevertheless, the Defendant, by taking advantage of his/her superior position as a supplier from January 13, 2009 to February 15, 2013, supplied the Plaintiff with the transaction code of “E Hospital (final Transaction Office)” in which it is impossible to make a transaction due to the Plaintiff’s discontinuance of drugs with no place of sale.
3) The Plaintiff had already discontinued its business, and thus, it was required to dispose of the said drug at a lower price than the price supplied by the Defendant to another wholesale company. In this process, the Plaintiff suffered damages of KRW 1,363,653,483 in the said process. Article 56(1) of the Fair Trade Act provides that “In the event that a business entity or business entity’s organization is damaged by violating the provisions of this Act, the business entity or business entity’s organization shall be liable for damages to the relevant victim.”

Rather, the Plaintiff purchased drugs from Defendant 4 billion won or more on credit with a bill, and sold them to another wholesale company that can make cash transactions, thereby selling approximately KRW 2.6 billion.
