1. Summary of the assertion
A. Article 98 of the Insurance Business Act prohibits the provision of special benefits in entering into or soliciting insurance contracts.
However, the Defendant did not violate Article 98 of the Insurance Business Act because it was merely a substitute payment of insurance premium upon C’s request in order to prevent the invalidation of the unpaid insurance premium with respect to G already concluded or recruited (hereinafter “instant insurance”).
B. In order to constitute a substitute payment of premiums prohibited under Article 98 subparag. 4 of the Insurance Business Act, an insurance solicitor must transfer profits from the substitute payment of premiums to a policyholder ultimately and should not have the right to claim a return from the policyholder.
However, the defendant, upon request of C to lend money to be paid as insurance premiums, lent money to C to pay insurance premiums, thereby allowing C to claim a return on a loan equivalent to insurance premiums.
