2. Determination on the cause of the claim
A. 1) The Plaintiff Company’s claim for the total construction cost against the Defendant was KRW 4,00,000,000, and the Defendant paid KRW 3,300,000 to the Nonparty Company. As such, the Defendant’s claim for the remainder of the construction cost against the Defendant of the Nonparty Company exceeds KRW 500,000. Since the Plaintiff acquired the claim for KRW 500,000 out of the claim for the said unpaid construction cost from the Nonparty Company, the Defendant is obliged to pay the Plaintiff the said amount and the delay damages. 2) The Defendant Company’s claim for the construction cost that the Plaintiff acquired from the Nonparty Company was transferred from the Defendant Company as of July 15, 2013, which is the date of the assignment of the instant claim.
