2. Determination as to the cause of claim
A. According to the above recognition of the occurrence of the obligation to pay the rent in arrears, the Defendant did not pay the rent for three months from April 2016 to June 2016, which was before transferring the store to the Plaintiff.
The Defendant is obligated to pay to the Plaintiff the sum of 12 million won in arrears (=4 million won x 3 months) and damages for delay calculated by the rate of 15% per annum under the Act on Special Cases concerning the Promotion, etc. of Legal Proceedings from October 22, 2016 to the day of full payment, which is the day following the delivery date of a copy of the complaint of this case sought by the Plaintiff after the due date.
B. The Defendant asserted that, instead of yielding the business rights in August 7, 2016 of “D” to the Plaintiff, the Plaintiff exempted the Plaintiff from arrears and agreed to return the deposit amount of KRW 10 million to the Defendant. However, it is insufficient to acknowledge that there was an agreement as above, and there is no other evidence to acknowledge otherwise.
The defendant's above assertion is without merit.
3. The plaintiff's claim of this case is justified, and the judgment of the court of first instance is just, and the defendant's appeal is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
