2. Summary of the parties' arguments;
A. The Plaintiff’s assertion that the Defendant re-subcontracts the instant construction work that was subcontracted by H Co., Ltd. (hereinafter “H”) to the Plaintiff, and the Defendant is obliged to pay the Plaintiff the remainder of the construction cost of KRW 60 million calculated by deducting the construction cost of KRW 60 million, which was already paid, from the construction cost of KRW 120 million, and the value-added tax thereon KRW 66 million.
B. The Defendant’s assertion attempted to subcontract the instant construction work to the Defendant in the amount of KRW 150 million for the construction cost, but the Defendant did not possess necessary equipment and did not receive KRW 29 million for the introduction expenses from H, and only received KRW 29 million for the introduction expenses. As the instant construction contract was prepared formally by the Defendant to the Plaintiff, the party who subcontracted the instant construction work to the Plaintiff is not the Defendant but the Plaintiff.
Even if the Defendant subcontracted the instant construction work to the Plaintiff, the Defendant did not complete the instant construction work, and thus, paid the remainder of the construction cost.
