Family loan claim of 75 million won fully dismissed

Background

The opposing party, a member of our client's family, claimed that decades ago our client had borrowed 75 million won from them to build a house, and sued for repayment with late payment damages.

Issues and ruling

The court found the opponent's key evidence unreliable in light of the evidence our client submitted. It also found that the only established fact was that a parent, not our client, had built the house, and that there was no evidence that our client borrowed money to build it or that the opponent lent 75 million won.

Outcome

The opponent's claim was dismissed in full, and the opponent must bear the litigation costs.

This is the outcome of an individual case and does not guarantee the same result in similar matters. Some facts have been generalized to protect the parties involved.
