2. Determination as to the cause of action

A. The Plaintiff’s assertion 1 did not confer upon G the right of representation to conclude each of the instant lease agreements.

Due to such illegal acts of Defendant B and C, the Plaintiff suffered each loss equivalent to KRW 40 million in relation to the lease deposit and KRW 35 million in relation to the lease deposit with F in relation to the lease with E.

Therefore, the Plaintiff is liable for damages under Article 30(1) of the Licensed Real Estate Agent Act.
