[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 and 2, the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Determination on the cause of the claim
A. Even if there is no dispute over the fact that the parties exchange money, the plaintiff asserts that the cause of receiving money is a loan for consumption, while the defendant asserts that it is a loan for consumption, the plaintiff bears the responsibility to prove that it is a loan for consumption.
(Supreme Court Decision 72Da221 Decided December 12, 1972, and Supreme Court Decision 2014Da26187 Decided July 10, 2014). B.
In light of the following circumstances, it is reasonable to view that: (a) the Plaintiff, who had no particular occupation or ability, donated KRW 15,00,000 to the Defendant as alleged by the Defendant; (b) even according to the Defendant’s assertion, the source of money that the Plaintiff remitted to the Defendant is the mother and mother; and (c) the Defendant returned KRW 10,000,000 out of KRW 15,000,000, which was remitted from the Plaintiff to the Plaintiff on March 28, 2018, is the amount that the Plaintiff returned to the Plaintiff on March 28, 2018.
C. Therefore, the Defendant is obligated to refund to the Plaintiff the amount of KRW 5,00,000,000, out of the borrowed amount, and the damages for delay calculated at the rate of 15% per annum from January 5, 2019 to the date of full payment, which is clear that it is the day following the delivery of a copy of the instant complaint.
3. In conclusion, the judgment of the court of first instance which accepted the Plaintiff’s claim is justifiable, and the Defendant’s appeal against this is justified.
