Reasons
Plaintiff’s assertion
The Plaintiff was entrusted to the Defendant with the purchase fund of the Seoul Apartment-gu Seoul Metropolitan City 201, 1102 (hereinafter “instant apartment”).
Since the Defendant purchased the instant apartment from the seller who was unaware of the fact that the title trust agreement existed, and acquired the ownership effectively by completing the registration of ownership transfer, the Defendant is obligated to return the purchase fund of the instant apartment and its interest or delay damages, which the Plaintiff provided, to the Plaintiff

However, the defendant asserts that the purchase fund of the apartment of this case was donated from the plaintiff, and the following circumstances, which are acknowledged by the overall purport of the statements and arguments in Eul evidence Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 through 13 (including paper numbers), have been paid the property tax imposed on the apartment of this case continuously from 2009 to 2016, and the plaintiff revealed that he would submit the gift document of this case to the court around September 23, 2015, and the plaintiff argued that he lent the purchase fund of this case to the defendant.
