2. Summary of the parties' arguments
A. On July 24, 2015, the Plaintiff notified the Defendant of the execution of the procedure for the registration of ownership transfer, etc. on the ground that the Defendant did not perform his/her obligations. As such, the Plaintiff notified the Defendant of the cancellation of the instant sales contract on August 17, 2015.
Since the sales contract of this case was cancelled, the defendant is liable to pay the plaintiff the down payment of KRW 20,000,000 and the delay damages.
B. On August 30, 2013, the remainder payment date, the Defendant notified the Plaintiff of the performance of the obligation to pay the remainder, with the documents necessary for the registration of transfer of ownership on August 30, 2013, and the Plaintiff did not perform the obligation even if the remainder payment date was extended by one month.
The defendant revoked the sales contract of this case and notified the defendant that the down payment will be confiscated by the plaintiff around one month.
Therefore, we cannot accept the plaintiff's claim.
