Reasons
According to the whole purport of testimony and pleading of the above witness Gap evidence Nos. 2 (Lease Contract) and Nos. 4 (Peremptory Notice) to which the authenticity is established by the testimony of the number of copies of the witness at the court below's judgment, according to the whole purport of testimony and pleading of the above witness, the defendant on January 17, 1983, when using the site and building entered in the plaintiff's claim from the plaintiff company as a deposit amount of KRW 4,00,000 without monthly rent, and when using the site and building mentioned in the plaintiff's claim from the plaintiff company as a lease for a period of six months, the lease period expires, and the plaintiff between the plaintiff and the defendant to order the plaintiff by February 6, 1984, and there is no counter-proof otherwise.
Therefore, according to the defendant's defense, the defendant is obligated to receive 4,00,000 won from the plaintiff and deliver the building site of this case to the plaintiff at the same time. The plaintiff asserted that the plaintiff purchased the building site of this case from the non-party Korea Land Development Corporation for the construction of the plaintiff's house, and the defendant did not comply with the plaintiff's request for delivery on October 8, 1983 and December 10 of the same year after the expiration of the above lease term. Thus, the plaintiff company did not start the construction of the plaintiff's private house and thereby caused losses which amount to 26,70,000 won for the reason that the building site of this case was non-business land of the corporation, and thus, the defendant did not know about the above 22,70,000 won remaining after set off the lease deposit of this case from the above 200,000 won, and the defendant argued that the defendant was not liable for compensation for damages for the above 19,000 won for non-business reasons (No. 18,014).
In other words, on February 6, 1984, the plaintiff argued that the defendant sought compensation for damages at the rate of KRW 678,890 per month from February 7, 1984 to the time when the land in this case is transferred to the plaintiff, and the defendant did not make a monthly rent from the company and used the land in this case without ordering the plaintiff company to do so, and therefore, the above deposit should be a special method of payment of rent necessary for leasing and using the land in this case, so the plaintiff's interest and rent are offset against each other. Thus, the plaintiff's assertion that the compensation for damages at the rate of KRW 678,890 per month from February 7, 1984 to the time when the land in this case is transferred to the plaintiff is without merit.
Therefore, the defendant is obligated to receive 4,00,000 won from the plaintiff and to order the building site and building stated in the purport of the claim. Thus, the plaintiff's claim of this case is justified within the scope of the above recognition, and the remainder is without merit. The judgment below is just and the plaintiff's appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition.
