Civil Litigation Attorney Assistance | Award of 60 Million Won for a Client in an Agreed Sum Civil Suit

The client is a man in his 30s who agreed to jointly operate a restaurant with an acquaintance and prepared the business.

The two parties concluded a lease agreement and even carried out interior construction, and were about to open, but from the early stage there were frequent disagreements with the acquaintance over the direction of the business.

Ultimately, the client decided to withdraw from the joint venture for reasons such as work commitments, and the acquaintance also accepted this, agreeing to pay the client the investment amount and half of the sales to arise over the following three months.

However, the acquaintance did not pay the promised amount at all, and the client therefore decided to file a civil lawsuit to seek payment of the agreed sum.

He then entrusted the case to a Daeryun attorney with extensive experience in civil litigation and requested overall handling of the litigation.

The civil litigation attorney first carefully confirmed the amount the client had invested under the partnership agreement and the record of the agreed return of sales profit.

In order to prove that the amount the client had actually remitted and part of the agreed sales profit had not yet been paid, the attorney closely reviewed the financial transaction records and the contract.

In addition, the attorney established a strategy focusing on the fact that the defendant continued to refuse payment of the agreed sum and avoided contact.

Through collaboration with the evidence investigation center, the civil litigation attorney closely analyzed the deposit and withdrawal records of the amount the client had actually invested under the partnership agreement, along with related supporting documents.

As a result of the investigation, it was confirmed that the client had remitted 60 million won to the acquaintance in stages in order to open a restaurant.

In addition, although the acquaintance, in agreeing to terminate the partnership, had agreed to pay the client the full investment of 50 million won and an additional 10 million won representing half of the sales profit to be generated over the next three months, to date he has not made a single transfer.

Accordingly, the civil litigation attorney emphasized that the opposing party was failing to perform its obligations under the agreement.

The client, judging that frequent contact might become a burden, did not make any separate contact with the defendant for a certain period.

However, when the agreed amount was not returned for a long time, the client attempted to make contact directly, and in response the defendant continued to make excuses without a clear reason.

The attorney emphasized that thereafter the defendant either did not answer calls at all or did not respond, showing an attitude of intentionally avoiding communication.

In the above case, the client, who had been experiencing difficulty in not being able to recover an agreed sum, was able to win the lawsuit with the prompt support of a civil litigation attorney.

Where a monetary repayment agreement is not performed and legal action becomes necessary, it is advisable to file a lawsuit with the help of a specialized attorney.
