1. Case Overview
During a multimillion-won housing construction contract, the plaintiff (building owner) took issue with a notice regarding additional construction costs resulting from design changes. The plaintiff claimed the client (defendant/construction company) was at fault, unilaterally canceled the contract, and filed a lawsuit demanding the full return of the deposit, amounting to tens of millions of won.
2. Attorney Assistance
Rather than simply listing facts, Law Firm Theo focused all resources on clearly proving that the client was not at fault:- Discovery of a Favorable Special Clause: Rigorously analyzed a clause in the contract stating "construction amounts may fluctuate upon design consultation" to point out the contradiction in the plaintiff's claims.
- Sharp Legal Rebuttal: Completely blocked the opponent's logic of framing the notice of additional costs as delayed performance or default, proving it was merely a "consultation stage" prior to a specific agreement.
- Dismissal of the Opponent's Unreasonable "Fraud and Mistake" Claims: Perfectly defended against the opponent's attempt to unjustly cancel the contract by proving with objective circumstances that the client had a firm intention to execute the construction according to the original contract.
3. Result of Assistance
"All claims by the plaintiff dismissed, all litigation costs borne by the plaintiff" (Complete victory for the defendant)
