Reasons
1. Basic facts
A. U.S. Co., Ltd. (Co., Ltd. V, August 8, 2012, and March 31, 2014) entered into a franchise franchise agreement, etc. with the Plaintiffs and RR on October 22, 2010, for the purpose of coffee franchise business, etc. with the trade name “T,” respectively, changed into R Co., Ltd. on October 8, 2012;
hereinafter referred to as “R”)
) A representative director was established and appointed as the representative director (S was employed as the representative director until his dismissal on December 3, 2013).
(2) The design of the Plaintiff Company is an enterprise that performed the interior works for T burial by entering into a franchise agreement with R and the rest of the Plaintiffs are franchise store contractors who entered into a franchise agreement and run T burial.
B. R’s aggravation of its financial status and establishment, etc. of a separate legal entity among the franchisees of the franchise stores (i.e., the aggravation of its financial status and establishment of a separate legal entity) led to the aggravation of its financial status, which led to a situation in which no sales commission is paid and no goods, such as coffee, are supplied, and no sales commission is paid to the franchise contractor. (ii) Accordingly, the franchise contractor was unable to operate the franchise store any longer in the existing way. In light of the fact that, when suspending the operation of the franchise store, it is difficult for the franchise store to receive the deposit from the aggravated R to receive the deposit, the franchise contractor voluntarily determined to bear the purchase cost of goods, such as the store rent and coffee, and to appropriate the proceeds
3) However, inasmuch as a chain store contractor’s continued operation of a sales store on his/her own, and deposits the sales amount into the R’s account according to the existing method, it cannot be appropriated for the return of deposit due to seizure by R’s creditors, such as financial institutions, etc., and thus, a chain store contractor established a separate corporation to deposit the sales amount into the relevant corporation’s account, and made a contribution on December 16, 2013, and changed the name to X on December 18, 2013;
hereinafter referred to as “X”
was established. ..
