[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, entry of Gap evidence 1 through 4 (including branch numbers for those with additional numbers; hereinafter the same shall apply) and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. The assertion and judgment
A. The plaintiff's assertion
The Plaintiff had a claim for value-added tax amounting to KRW 201,118,687 against KimB. However, KimB sold the apartment of this case to the Defendant on July 1, 2012, thereby doing so. The sales contract between KimB and the Defendant on July 1, 2012 should be revoked as a fraudulent act.
B. Defendant’s assertion
The apartment of this case is purchased from the Defendant’s funds pursuant to the contract title trust agreement between the Defendant and KimB, and is merely a sale contract owner’s name and a registration name KimB. This apartment of this case’s seller is null and void pursuant to the main sentence of Article 4(2) of the Act on the Registration of Real Estate under Actual Titleholder’s Name, and thus, the registration of transfer of ownership in the name of KimB pursuant to the main sentence of Article 4(2) of the Act on the Registration of Real Estate under Actual Titleholder’s Name is not a responsible property of KimB. Therefore, even if KimB concluded a sales contract on the apartment of this case with the Defendant and completed the registration of transfer of ownership in the future with the Defendant, it cannot be deemed as a fraudulent act detrimental
C. Determination
1) The title truster and the title trustee enter into a so-called contract title trust agreement, and they enter into a sales contract.
If a title trust agreement between a title truster and a title trustee is knowingly completed the registration of ownership transfer of the real estate in the name of a title trustee pursuant to the main sentence of Article 4(2) of the Act on the Registration of Real Estate under Actual Titleholder’s Name is null and void (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Da95185, Sept. 12, 2013). In cases where the main sentence of Article 4(2) of the Act on the Registration of Real Estate under Actual Titleholder’s Name is applicable to real estate and the registration of ownership transfer in the name of a title trustee becomes null and void, such real estate is not owned by a debtor, and it cannot be deemed as a debtor’s joint collateral. Even if a debtor concluded a sales contract with a third party on the real estate and completed the registration of ownership transfer to that third party, it cannot be deemed a fraudulent act detrimental to the debtor’s general creditors, and it cannot be deemed that the debtor had an intent to harm (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2007Da7874, Sept. 25, 2008).
2) In light of the following circumstances, in light of Gap evidence Nos. 1, Eul evidence Nos. 1 through 3, 5 through 7, 9 through 12, and 14, each of the testimony of the witness bestD, SongE and each of the testimony of the court of this case and each of the orders to submit financial transaction information to the YB Co., Ltd. against the defendant (or defendant's wife Furf) and the YB, there was a contract title trust agreement between the defendant (or the defendant's wife) and the YB to acquire the ownership of the apartment of this case. It is reasonable to deem that this apartment seller of this case was aware of the above contract title trust agreement. Accordingly, since the transfer registration in the name of KimB on the apartment of this case is invalid under the main sentence of Article 4(2) of the Act on the Registration of Real Estate under the name of the actual right holder, since this case's apartment is not owned by KimB, it cannot be deemed that it did not constitute KimB's co-mortgage's common property, nor can it be deemed that the defendantB's general apartment property decrease.
