2. Determination as to the Plaintiff’s assertion that the Plaintiff was not a party to the instant contract
A. The Plaintiff asserts that “D is responsible for all construction works by lending only in the name of the party to the subcontract, and no matter arises in the future” from D, a field agent of the Defendant, merely lent the name of the contractor of the instant contract to D, upon request, and thus, is not a party to the instant contract. Therefore, the Plaintiff is not obligated to return advance payment under the instant contract.”
