Purport of claim and appeal
1..
Reasons
1. On June 10, 2006, the Plaintiff loaned KRW 3,200,000 per annum to the Defendant on January 30, 2007. Around January 8, 2007, the Defendant prepared a loan certificate to the effect that the repayment date for the above amount shall be January 30, 2007, but if the payment is not made within the above deadline, the Plaintiff shall pay 3% interest per month until the date of repayment (hereinafter “the loan certificate of this case”).
[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, evidence No. 1, testimony by witness C of the first instance trial, purport of the whole pleadings
2. According to the reasoning of the judgment on the cause of the claim, barring any special circumstance, the Defendant’s maximum interest rate of KRW 3,200,00 in loan and KRW 36 per annum from June 10, 2006 to June 29, 2007, which is the date of loan, as the Plaintiff seeks, and Article 2(1) of the former Interest Limitation Act (amended by Act No. 12227, Jan. 14, 2014) (amended by Act No. 12227, Jan. 14, 2014) applies to the Plaintiff in this case where the contract is concluded or renewed for the first time after July 15, 2014 pursuant to Article 2(1) of the same Act, which is the maximum interest rate of KRW 3,200,00,00, which was amended by Act No. 12227, Jul. 15, 2014.
The agreed interest shall be payable at the rate of the agreed interest.
3. Judgment on the defendant's defense
A. The purport of the defendant's assertion is that the loan certificate of this case was made by the plaintiff's duress, and therefore the defendant is not obligated to return the above money to the plaintiff.
B. We examine the judgment, and there is no evidence to support the defendant's assertion that the defendant prepared the loan certificate of this case by the plaintiff's coercion, and the defendant's defense is without merit.
4. Conclusion, the plaintiff's claim is justified, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just.
