Therefore, the above share sales contract between the plaintiff and the defendant is legally cancelled on June 11, 1974, when it is clear that it is the delivery date of a copy soar. Therefore, the defendant is obligated to pay the plaintiff the above amount of 2,000,000 won and damages for delay at the rate of 5% per annum of the Civil Procedure Act from June 12 to the full payment, so the plaintiff's claim for this case is reasonable within the above recognition scope, and the remainder is dismissed. Since the original judgment is partially unfair, it is modified and it is so decided as per Disposition by the application of the proviso of Articles 96, 89, and 92 of the Civil Procedure Act with respect to the burden of litigation costs.
