2. According to the above facts of determination, the Defendants are jointly and severally liable to pay to the Plaintiff the remainder of the purchase price of KRW 36,000,000 ( KRW 65,000,000 - KRW 29,000,000) and damages for delay after February 26, 2015, totaling KRW 38,160,000, and KRW 36,000,000, among which the Plaintiff claims for damages for delay after February 26, 2015, Defendant B is liable to pay damages for delay calculated at the rate of 15% per annum as stipulated in the Act on Special Cases concerning the Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings from January 26, 2018, and Defendant C is liable to pay from November 17, 2017 to the day of full payment.
As to this, the defendants asserted that the plaintiff's claim is unjustifiable since they were to receive a return of the above business rights, but there is no evidence to acknowledge this. Thus, the defendants' claim is without merit.
3. Accordingly, the Plaintiff’s claim against the Defendants in this case is accepted on the grounds that all of the claims are reasonable.
