The client was looking for a law firm to handle a damages lawsuit together and came to the Changwon office, which has experience handling numerous damages cases, to request a consultation.
1. The Client's Situation

The client came to the Changwon office in order to succeed in a claim for damages through the help of a law firm where experts in various fields collaborate to resolve cases.
How the Client Came to the Changwon Law Firm
The account of the client, who held a thorough consultation at the Changwon law firm, is as follows.
The client had been in a long relationship with her boyfriend and broke up with him because of differences in personality.
As he ended the relationship with the client, the boyfriend began to feel that the money he had spent on the client was wasted.
He then continually pressured the client and even went so far as to prepare a false notarized deed of a monetary loan agreement, despite there being no debt relationship whatsoever between the two.
The boyfriend defrauded the client of about 36 million won, including by demanding that the client repay the debt on his behalf.
Having been defrauded of a large sum of money, the client was placed in very difficult financial circumstances.
The client resolved to file a 🔗damages lawsuit together with an attorney and came to the Changwon law firm.
2. Damages Statutes Explained by the Changwon Law Firm
A damages lawsuit refers to a lawsuit filed with the court to recover compensation for a loss by holding another person civilly liable for the loss caused to oneself.
The client in this case suffered financial loss due to the defendant's deception, and so may file a damages lawsuit.
① Compensation for damages caused by nonperformance of an obligation is limited to ordinary damages.
② The obligor is liable to compensate for damages arising from special circumstances only where the obligor knew or could have known of those circumstances.
3. The Changwon Law Firm's Assistance
The Changwon law firm formed a task force of 3 to 20 members centered on civil attorneys and analyzed the circumstances of the case in detail.
Arguing the following, the firm asserted that the defendant had an obligation to pay damages to the client.
Changwon Law Firm Argument ① False Preparation of a Notarized Deed
In the process of ending the relationship with the client, the defendant, harboring ill feelings, prepared a false notarized deed of a monetary loan agreement even though there was no debt relationship between the two.
He intended to use that notarized deed to obtain money from the client's parents.
The firm emphasized that the defendant, who caused great loss by deceiving the client and defrauding the client of a large sum of money, was liable to compensate the client's loss.
Changwon Law Firm Argument ② The Defendant's Continual Threats
The defendant continually threatened the client in order to defraud the client of money.
He repeatedly made threats, saying he would stage a protest, and even sent text messages hinting at retaliation.
Unable to withstand this pressure from the defendant, the client had no choice but to hand over the money to the defendant.
The firm emphasized that the defendant, who inflicted great emotional and financial harm on the client, was liable to compensate the client's loss.
4. The Court's Decision on the Changwon Law Firm's Arguments
Accepting the Changwon law firm's arguments, the court issued a decision that 'the defendant shall pay the plaintiff about 36 million won. The litigation costs shall be borne by the defendant.'
