Reasons
1. The plaintiffs' assertion
A. The Plaintiffs are customers who view the film shown in the CGV theater run by the Defendant.
B. The CGV theater does not immediately show a motion picture on the display time indicated in an electronic sign board, website, mobile app, etc., but shows a commercial advertisement, etc., and then the actual motion picture is being displayed for about 10 minutes at the latest.
C. The defendant did not notify the plaintiffs of such contents despite the fact that the ten minutes of the film screening time indicated in the electronic sign board, website, mobile app, etc. had been actually shown after the commercial advertisement had been shown. The above indication of the film screening time constitutes "False director's indication or advertisement" as provided by Article 3 (1) 1 through 2 of the Act on Fair Labeling and Advertising (hereinafter "Indication and Advertising") or "permanent indication or advertisement", and the defendant who entered into a contract to use the film screening service with the plaintiffs violated the duty to screen the film at a fixed time in accordance with the hours of the film screening agreed with the plaintiffs.
Therefore, the defendant asserts that the plaintiff is liable for damages due to violation of the Act on Labeling and Advertising or nonperformance.
