2. Summary of the parties' arguments
A. The Plaintiff’s assertion ① The instant loan contract was directly concluded by the Defendant in light of the developments leading up to the conclusion of the instant loan contract. ② Even if the Defendant did not directly conclude the instant loan contract, the Defendant granted a third party’s basic right of representation, and the Plaintiff believed that the third party had the right of representation as to the instant loan, and there were reasonable grounds to believe as such, and thus, the Defendant is legally liable under the instant loan contract in accordance with the apparent representation legal doctrine. ③ Even if the instant loan contract was an act of unauthorized representation, the Defendant ratified the act of unauthorized Representation by depositing money in the name of the Defendant to the Plaintiff after becoming aware of the conclusion of the instant loan contract, and thereby, the Defendant was obligated to pay the Plaintiff damages for delay as to KRW 28,839,210 and KRW 26,406,122.
B. The defendant alleged in this case directly concluded the loan contract with the plaintiff.
