[Based on the recognition] The evidence Nos. 1, 2-1, 2-3, 5-7 and the purport of the whole pleadings
2. Determination
A. The issue of whether a transfer of business constitutes a transfer of business ought to be determined depending on whether the transferee continues to engage in the same business activity as the transferor had done after the transferee transferred functional assets as the source of revenue organized organically.
(See Supreme Court Decision 2007Da89722 Decided April 11, 2008, etc.). According to the above facts, the Plaintiff continues to engage in business activities such as the Defendants’ transfer of functional properties as sources of assets and profits that have been systematically organized from the Defendants, such as the company’s assets and customers.
