1. The defendant (Counterclaim plaintiff) shall dismiss the counterclaim;
2. The Defendant (Counterclaim Plaintiff) paid KRW 79,350,624 to the Plaintiff (Counterclaim Defendant).
Reasons
1. We examine, ex officio, whether a counterclaim is lawful or not.
A defendant may, only if it does not remarkably delay the litigation procedures, file a counterclaim with the court in which the principal lawsuit is pending not later than the closure of pleadings.
(Article 269(1) main text of the Civil Procedure Act. However, the Defendant filed the instant counterclaim on August 9, 2017 after the lapse of June 13, 2017, which was the date of closing the argument.
Therefore, the counterclaim of this case is inappropriate as being raised after the closing of argument, and thus, it is dismissed without holding any pleadings pursuant to Article 219 of the Civil Procedure Act.
