[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap 1, 48 evidence, Eul 1, 3, 5, 16, 32 evidence (including virtual numbers; hereinafter the same shall apply) and the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Summary of the parties' arguments

A. Summary of the plaintiff's assertion

1) If the Orart Shipbuilding intends to claim the second advance payment, it shall purchase the steel materials of the instant vessel and cut them in accordance with the design drawing, and shall notify the Plaintiff thereof 14 days prior to the date of the execution. However, the Orart Shipbuilding formally proceeded with the events to cut the steel materials of the instant vessel on April 22, 2009 without purchasing the steel materials to be used for the construction of the instant vessel, and then filed a claim for the second advance payment with the Plaintiff. In addition, the Orart Shipbuilding notified the Plaintiff that the steel cutting of the instant vessel was conducted in the Kui Heavy Industries Co., Ltd., and carried out it in another place, but the Plaintiff violated the duty of advance payment. Accordingly, the Plaintiff did not comply with the second advance payment claim of Oriart Shipbuilding, and thus, the termination notification of the instant contract in this case is invalid.

2) Although the instant contract is effective, Orart Shipbuilding refused to comply with it and did not deliver it from January 7, 2010, which was the date of delivery of the instant vessel, to the expiration of at least 180 days. Accordingly, the Plaintiff rescinded the instant contract on October 7, 2010, and accordingly, the Plaintiff was the first advance payment USD 6,760,00 for Orart Shipbuilding and the total interest thereon USD 7,237,752 for Orart Shipbuilding.

B. Summary of the defendant's assertion

The Orart Shipbuilding, on April 22, 2009, performed and notified the cutting of the instant vessel, and the second advance payment date of the Plaintiff was due on April 27, 2009. Nevertheless, the Plaintiff notified the cancellation of the instant contract on November 5, 2009 due to the Plaintiff’s failure to pay the second advance payment. As such, the instant contract was rescinded and the Orart Shipbuilding had the right to hold the first advance payment received from the Plaintiff under the instant contract.

3. Applicable law;

This case is to seek the confirmation of rehabilitation claims based on the contract of this case against the defendant, who is a joint manager of Oral Epic ships established in accordance with the law of the Republic of Pakistan and established in the Republic of Pakistan and established in accordance with the law of the Republic of Pakistan and established in the Republic of Korea. Accordingly, in this case, the governing law should be determined by the Private International Act, with foreign elements.

In the instant contract, the English law provides for the English law as the governing law for its interpretation and application, and the fact that the Plaintiff succeeded to the status of Chang Ho Shipping is as seen earlier. As to the existence of the Plaintiff’s secondary obligation to pay the advance payment under the instant contract, the validity of the notification of each termination of the contract by the original fishing boat and the Plaintiff, the existence and scope of the Plaintiff’s obligation to return advance payments against the original fishing boat, etc., the English law that the parties choose pursuant to Article 25(1) of the Private International Act is the governing law.

4. Judgment by issue

(a) Validity of the notification of the cancellation of the contract for the original art ship;

1) Facts of recognition

The following facts may be acknowledged in full view of the following facts in the statements or videos of Gap evidence 41-2, 44, 45, 49, 6-7, 50-5, 50-1-2, 58-60, 67-10-13, 25, 28, 32, 42, 68, 3-1-8, 3-1-8, 20-1, and 20-1 of the evidence Nos. 41-2, 44, 45, 50-60, 67-10, 67-13, 25, 28, 3-2,

A) Process, etc. for shipbuilding

(1) The main process of shipbuilding consisting of ① steel cutting (steel straw), ② string (keel string), ③ Jinching, ④ trial operation, completion (6), and delivery) order.

(2) The buildinger must purchase steel in advance prior to the initial process and prepare other materials. As such, the initial cost of shipbuilding constitutes more than 30% of the total cost of shipbuilding. As such, the shipbuilding contract is generally concluded by way of paying the shipbuilding cost in installments for each process. The instant contract also provides that the shipbuilding cost shall be paid in installments, and the amount of USD 6,760,000 equivalent to 20% of the shipbuilding cost of the instant vessel was paid in advance prior to the steel cutting.

(3) Since steel cutting is a work to cut steels to be used for the construction of a ship in accordance with the design drawing, it must not only conform to the specifications and the specifications of the ship set out in the design drawing but also be secured when steels are received in advance.

B) Prepaid of the instant vessel, the power of the vessel owner supervisor, etc.

(1) The instant contract is that the instant vessel should be constructed in conformity with the current regulations and regulations of the Korean vessel’s pay (Article 1(3)). According to the Korean vessel’s advance payment and lecture rules in 2008 and 2009 (Evidence 54-1, 2), and steel materials, such as steel materials, such as steel materials, are manufactured in a manufacturing plant approved by the Korean vessel’s pay, in accordance with the criteria separately determined by the Korean vessel’s pay.

(2) According to the instant contract, the vessel owner supervisor dispatched by the Plaintiff has the right to inspect materials input into the vessel building at any time during the course of the shipbuilding work (Article 4(1) and (2)).

(3) The Orart Shipping and the Oral Name Shipping entered into a shipbuilding agreement with the same content as the instant contract. The Korea’s level issued a process-based confirmation letter stating that the steel cutting of the said 101 Line (as of August 13, 2008) and 1012 Line (as of October 10, 2008) was enforced (as of October 50), and the Chang Name Shipping paid the said vessel the second advance payment to the Oral Name Shipping and the said vessel to the Oral Name Shipping.

C) The notification of the cutting of the instant vessel by the Oral Shipbuilding and the request for the payment of the second advance, etc.

(1) On December 22, 2008, the Orart Shipbuilding notified that he would hold the exercise of the forced cutting of the instant vessel on January 2, 2009, when taking into account the situation where the OSN-101 line, which 'the OSN-101 line, performed the forced cutting' on December 23, 2008 and the OSN1012 lines were not carried out at all, the schedule of the exercise of the instant vessel should be postponed.

(2) On December 24, 2008, the Orart Shipbuilding notified the Plaintiff on December 24, 2008 that he would normally use the Orart Shipbuilding in the domestic and foreign shipbuilding industry, asserting that it refers to the act of cutting the initial steel in accordance with the design drawings and actually starting the shipbuilding process after purchasing the steel in the first advance after the shipbuilding contract for the vessel, and that he would implement the steel cutting process of the instant vessel on January 8, 2009. The Plaintiff notified the Orart Shipbuilding of his intention to oppose the steel cutting process of the instant vessel on the grounds of the delay in the process of being elected prior to the Defendants’ election.

(3) On February 23, 2009, the Orart Shipbuilding notified the Plaintiff on February 20, 2009 that “the E/R (institutional room) of the instant vessel and 1,850 tons of steel product manufactured by players, players, and U.S. were put into storage and completed” (Evidence 67 No. 25 of the Evidence No. 67);

(4) On April 3, 2009, the Orart Shipbuilding notified the plaintiff, the supervisor D (hereinafter referred to as the "ship owner supervisor") dispatched by the plaintiff, and the inspector E (hereinafter referred to as the "Korean vessel inspector E (hereinafter referred to as the "Korean vessel inspector"). On April 22, 2009, the plaintiff notified the Orart Shipbuilding of his intention to object to the execution of the repair of the vessel of this case on the ground that the fairness of the pre-elections who had already performed the repair of the vessel of this case was not achieved at all. The plaintiff notified the plaintiff on April 15, 2009 that he would object to the execution of the repair of the vessel of this case.

(5) On April 22, 2009, 2009, the Orart Shipbuilding took part in the steel cutting event of the instant vessel under the influence of both the Plaintiff, the owner supervisor, and the inspector at the Korean level, and on the same day, he notified the Plaintiff of the fact that he requested the second advance payment by April 27, 2009 through an official document accompanied by a certificate of inspection on steel cutting, a lecture cutting drawing, an event photograph, etc. (No. 67-42). The Plaintiff notified the Plaintiff of the fact that he could not accept the steel cutting performed solely by Orart Shipbuilding, and that he could not receive the second advance payment by April 27, 2009 (No. 67-42).

2) Determination

A) In full view of the following circumstances acknowledged as above, comprehensively taking account of the aforementioned facts, the steam, Gap evidence 6, 15-1-2, 33-2, 61-2, Eul evidence 25-2, Eul evidence 25-2, Eul evidence 26-1-2, and the fact-finding results of the first instance court's inquiry into the Korea Maritime Technology Co., Ltd. in the first instance court, the plaintiff's second advance payment obligation as stipulated in the contract of this case cannot be deemed to have occurred or arrived, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge otherwise.

① Article 10(2)(b) of the instant contract provides that “The second advance payment shall be made within three business days from the date on which the Plaintiff was notified of the fact that the steel cutting was performed by the original shipbuilding operator.” As such, the Plaintiff’s secondary advance payment obligation is premised on the premise that the original UNCLOS performed the steel cutting.

② The certificate of inspection (No. 3-3) attached to the original ship was prepared in the Korean language while notifying the Plaintiff that the original ship carried out the cutting of the vessel of this case, and it cannot be known that the steel recorded therein correspond to the steel material stated in the strong cutting drawings (No. 3-4), and the Defendant did not explain its consistency. Furthermore, the number and size of the steel material stated in the management ledger (No. 419 of the evidence No. 25) and the strong cutting drawings (no. 3-4 of the evidence No. 3) are different. In light of these circumstances, it is impossible to ascertain whether the original ship’s cutting of the steel material to be used for the building of this case at the time and whether the steel material cuted at the time obtained the approval of the Korean vessel’s class.

③ There was no fact that Orart Shipbuilding entered into a design service contract for the instant vessel (the result of a fact-finding on the Korean Maritime Technology Co., Ltd. in the first instance court’s 26 evidence Nos. 26 and the result of a fact-finding on the Korean Maritime Technology), and Orart Shipbuilding notified the Plaintiff of the fact that the E/R of the instant vessel, players, and 1,850 tons of steel product from February 20, 209. However, the Orart Shipbuilding did not present relevant transaction data, such as a contract for the purchase of steel, corresponding thereto, to this court, and did not reveal even the details of steel material). In light of such circumstances, Orart Shipbuilding could have failed to secure the design drawing, steel material, etc. of the instant vessel necessary to cut steel around April 22, 2009.

④ Since 2008, Orart Shipbuilding experienced liquidity shortage phenomenon due to the lack of funds due to the investment in facilities, such as the establishment of a luminous shipbuilding station, the depression of shipbuilding market due to global financial crisis, the bankruptcy of the shipowner, and the increase in exchange hedging costs due to the increase in exchange rate. Accordingly, Orart Shipbuilding was under delay or suspension of construction of a number of vessels ordered during the active period of 2007. In other words, Orart Shipbuilding concluded a shipbuilding contract between Orart Shipping and Man-1006 US dollars 34.2 million US dollars from August 9, 2007 following the conclusion of the instant contract, and had 1,368,000 US dollars paid a total of 1,200 US dollarss until July 30, 2008, and 1,500 US dollarss paid a total of 1,500 US dollarss from July 30, 208 to June 1, 2009.

⑤ As seen earlier, it appears that the design service contract was not concluded even if the Orart Shipbuilding received USD 6,760,000 equivalent to 20% of the shipbuilding cost of the instant vessel from the Plaintiff, and the Plaintiff could not have been secured for the instant vessel construction without concluding the design service contract, and it could not be confirmed whether the steel materials on the steel cutting drawing attached when claiming the Plaintiff for the second advance payment coincide with the steel materials on the steel cutting drawing. Considering the operation, financial situation, and fund shortage at the time of the original shipbuilding, the Orart Shipbuilding is deemed to have proceeded with the formal steel cutting process on April 22, 2009 for the second advance payment of the instant vessel. This can not be deemed to have been seen as having been done by the Orart Shipbuilding, when taking into account the following: (a) the steel materials on the steel cutting drawings attached to the Plaintiff at the time of filing the second advance payment; and (b) the operation, financial situation, and other factors.

6. Article 10(2) of the instant contract provides that the payment of advance payment cannot be delayed or reserved on the ground of any dispute or disagreement between the parties. However, this provision applies to the case where the requirements for the second advance payment claim as stipulated in the instant contract are met.

7) According to Article 10(2) of the instant contract, if any dispute arises with respect to advance payment, it shall be resolved pursuant to an arbitration clause. This can be seen as an arbitration agreement to resolve all disputes with respect to the legal relations related to advance payment through arbitration. However, upon the occurrence of a dispute with respect to the existence of the obligation to pay advance payment, the parties to the instant contract cannot refuse advance payment without filing an arbitration application and an arbitral award. If such interpretation is made, the parties to the instant contract are unable to assert all other parties’ nonperformance of obligation without filing an application for arbitration, and further, it is reasonable to view that the ship owner’s failure to perform the requirements for advance payment, and if the ship owner claims advance payment in sequence, the second, third, and fourth, and fourth, the buyer is obliged to exercise the right to make advance payment by reason of the occurrence of each of the instant contract and defense, separately from the other party’s obligation to pay advance payment after the occurrence of an attack.

B) Therefore, it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff’s secondary obligation to pay the advance payment as stipulated in the instant contract has occurred or arrived. Therefore, without having to determine the remainder of the Plaintiff’s assertion, notification of termination of the contract on the ground of the failure to pay the second advance payment is invalid, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the instant contract was rescinded.

B. The plaintiff's termination of the contract in this case

1) The contract in this case is valid since the termination notice of the contract is not effective as above. However, the fact that the original shipbuilding refused the performance of the construction of the instant vessel and the delivery of the instant vessel was not made by the lapse of 180 days after the expiration of January 2010, which is the time limit for delivery of the instant vessel stipulated in the contract in this case is clear in light of the parties’ dispute or the purport of the entire pleadings.

2) Therefore, the Plaintiff has the right to rescind the instant contract pursuant to Article 3(1)(c) of the instant contract and accordingly notify the Defendant of the rescission of the contract on October 7, 2010, and the instant contract was rescinded on the date the Plaintiff’s notice was delivered to the Defendant.

C. The existence and scope of the Plaintiff’s advance return claim

1) Since the contract of this case was terminated on the grounds attributable to the Orart Shipbuilding, the Orart Shipbuilding is obligated to pay to the Plaintiff the amount of USD 6,760,000 for the first advance payment and USD 7% per annum from October 19, 2007 to March 21, 2012, which is the day before the commencement of the contract of this case, pursuant to Article 10(5) of the contract of this case.

2) Therefore, the Plaintiff’s rehabilitation claim against the Orart Shipbuilding is USD 8,853,199 ($ 6,760,000 + USD 2,093,199), as the Plaintiff seeks, USD 7,237,752 as the Plaintiff seeks.

5. Conclusion

Thus, the plaintiff's claim shall be accepted on the ground of its reasoning. Since the judgment of the court of first instance is unfair with different conclusions, the plaintiff's appeal is accepted, and the judgment of the court of first instance is revoked, and it is decided as per Disposition by the court below that the plaintiff's rehabilitation claim against the original shipbuilding is US$ 7,752.
