[English Translations for Global Clients - Success Case]

1. Case Overview

The client sought to cancel their membership agreement with a local housing cooperative, suspecting that they had been misled by false disclosures regarding key aspects of the project during the contract process.

They turned to Taelim Law Firm for assistance in pursuing contract cancellation and refund recovery.

2. Taelim’s Assistance

Attorneys at Taelim Law Firm conducted a detailed review of the circumstances under which the client entered into the contract.

Through careful analysis, they discovered that the housing cooperative had made false and exaggerated representations concerning the rate of land acquisition and the planned scale of apartment construction — both of which were essential to the decision to join the cooperative.

During litigation, Taelim’s legal team developed a dual legal strategy, arguing that the client’s membership contract should be rescinded on the grounds of fraud, and alternatively, that it could be voided due to mistake (error in consent) even if fraudulent intent could not be fully established.

This layered approach maximized the chances of achieving full contract cancellation.

3. Case Outcome

The court accepted Taelim Law Firm’s arguments, recognizing that the membership agreement was validly canceled due to the cooperative’s false and misleading disclosures.

As a result, the defendant was ordered to return the entire membership contribution paid by the client, along with accrued interest, as unjust enrichment.

The client obtained a complete victory in the case.

4. Significance of the Case

This case clearly demonstrates that in local housing cooperative projects, when a cooperative or its agents misrepresent or exaggerate key information such as land acquisition rates or project size, members are entitled not only to claim damages but also to rescind the contract entirely and recover all paid contributions as unjust enrichment.

Furthermore, by skillfully combining two complementary legal principles — fraud and mistake — Taelim Law Firm secured a robust basis for victory.

The judgment represents a meaningful precedent in protecting clients from financial losses caused by deceptive housing cooperative practices and achieving complete restitution of property rights.
