Reasons
1. Indication of claim;
Of the reasons for the attached Form, the plaintiffs' claims for the return of down payment (Article 1-1(a) and 2-1(a) and (2) of the claim for penalty (Article 1-2(b) and (3) of the part of the claim corresponding to the part of the part of the part of the part of the loan (Article 2-2(b)) of the plaintiff B (excluding the part of the plaintiff's claim for consolation money) and the defendant D Co., Ltd. accept the main claim on the ground that the above defendant is a joint contracting party to the sales contract
2. Applicable provisions of Acts: Article 208 (3) 2 and Article 150 (3) of the Civil Procedure Act.
3. Part of dismissal.
(a) The claim for consolation money (the claim of consolation money shall be KRW 10 million in each of the paragraphs (a) and (2) of Article 1-1);
In general, in cases where property damage occurs due to nonperformance of contractual obligations, mental suffering that a contracting party has received is deemed to be recovered by compensating for property damage (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 2002Da53865, Nov. 1, 2004; 2002Da53865, Mar. 15, 2012). Penalty is presumed to be an estimate of the amount of damages under Article 398(4) of the Civil Act. In cases where the amount of damages has been calculated at the time of the contract, as well as ordinary damage incurred due to nonperformance of contractual obligations and special damage also included in the estimated amount of damages, even if the obligee’s damage exceeds the estimated amount of damages (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 92Da41719, Apr. 23, 1993; 2010Da6820, Mar. 15, 2012).
Therefore, in addition to the claim for penalty due to nonperformance of obligation against the defendants, the plaintiffs' claim for consolation money due to mental suffering, which is separate from special damage, is without merit in its assertion itself.
B. Claim for partial damages for delay
1) The Plaintiffs’ claim for penalty against Defendant D Co., Ltd. (the main claim No. 1-b and No. 2-c.) was newly added at the time of applying for change of the purport of claim and cause of claim as of November 26, 2018, and thus, the Plaintiffs’ claim for delay damages prior to the delivery date of the above application for change (the date of November 30, 2018) is without merit.
2) In addition, considering the changes in the purport of the claim and the cause of the claim after the filing of a lawsuit, and the fact that the claim for consolation money is dismissed due to the lack of reason, it is reasonable to apply the damages for delay under the Act on Special Cases Concerning the Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings from the day following the date of adjudication of this case. Thus, it is not reasonable to apply the damages for delay exceeding the amount calculated at the rate of 5% per annum (the plaintiff's claim shall be made. see Article 3-1(a) of the Civil Act) of the damages for delay from the day following the day of delivery of the duplicate of the complaint of this case (the defendant corporation C, September 7, 2018, and the defendant D, September 10
