Reasons
1. The parties' assertion
A. On March 1, 2017, the Plaintiff agreed to purchase the land C, D, and E (hereinafter “instant real estate”) from the Defendant for KRW 40 million and to pay the remainder KRW 36 million to the Plaintiff on March 30, 2017.
(hereinafter “instant sales contract”). On March 1, 2017, the Plaintiff paid the Defendant the down payment of KRW 4 million pursuant to the instant sales contract. On March 26, 2017, the Defendant unilaterally notified the Plaintiff of the cancellation of the instant sales contract without any justifiable reason, and only the down payment of KRW 4 million was returned to the Plaintiff.
Article 6 of the sales contract of this case provides that unless there is a separate agreement as to the damages, the contract deposit shall be deemed as the basis for damages. Since the defendant unilaterally defaulted on the obligation pursuant to the sales contract of this case, the defendant is liable to pay the plaintiff the damages amounting to four million won in addition to the contract deposit already returned to the plaintiff.
B. The Defendant did not conclude a sales contract with the Plaintiff for the instant real estate.
The defendant first regards the real estate sales contract (Evidence A No. 1) submitted by the plaintiff, and denies the authenticity of the above document.
The seller of the above real estate sales contract states that the defendant's agent F is the seller of the above real estate sales contract, and the defendant does not delegate his/her authority to dispose of the real estate of this case to any other person. Since the above real estate sales contract is a document prepared by a unauthorized agent, the contract was not concluded between the plaintiff
On March 2, 2017, the Defendant received KRW 3.5 million from G to the account, and returned it again on March 27, 2017.
However, this fact is that the Defendant entered into a sales contract for the instant real estate in March 27, 2017 and received the down payment.
