It is recognized that the Defendant has not paid the instant loan up to now.

However, as the provisions on statutory interest rate under the main sentence of Article 3(1) of the Act on Special Cases Concerning Expedition, etc. of Legal Proceedings (Presidential Decree) were promulgated on September 25, 2015 and enforced on October 1, 2015, Article 2(2) of the Addenda (Presidential Decree No. 26553) of the same Regulation recognizes only 20% per annum from the day following the date of delivery of a copy of the complaint of this case until September 30, 2015, and damages for delay calculated at the rate of 15% per annum from the next day to the day of full payment, and the excess portion is dismissed.
