2. Determination on the claim for liquidated damages
A. As seen earlier than the occurrence of liquidated damages, the Defendant failed to complete construction works until August 12, 2014, which is the deadline for completion stipulated in the contract, and pursuant to Article 27(1) of the terms and conditions of the contract for construction works, if the construction works are not completed within the deadline for completion, the Defendant is liable to pay the Plaintiff penalty for delay under the instant contract from August 13, 2014, the following day after the deadline for completion.
B. (i) When the contract is cancelled after the expiration of the period of completion without completion of the construction by the contractor of the relevant legal principles, the period of the penalty for delay shall be the day following the due date of completion, and the due date of the penalty for delay shall be the time when the contractor was able to complete the same building by requesting another contractor on the basis of the time when the contractor was able to suspend the construction or to cancel it due to other reasons
(See Supreme Court Decision 9Da14846, Oct. 12, 1999). The completion date of the instant construction project at the time of occurrence of the penalty for delay is August 12, 2014; thus, the penalty for delay arises from August 13, 2014, which is the following day.
