2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful
A. The plaintiff's assertion
With the introduction of Park○-○, the Plaintiff acquired the instant shares from Kim○, a real owner of the ○○ Global, while taking office as a director of the ○○○○ Global. On the other hand, the Plaintiff agreed to pay the instant shares on a performance-based basis if the Plaintiff was recognized as having contributed to the development of the ○○ Global in the future. However, while transferring the instant shares to Kim○-○, the Plaintiff agreed to offset the price of shares by the loans on the payment of shares to an individual to the ○○ representative director Kim○-○ (the wife of the ○○○○○○○) of the ○ Global, while taking office as a director of the ○○○○ Global. Accordingly, the instant disposition based on the premise that a title trust was made is unlawful as the Plaintiff actually received the instant shares from Kim○-○, and thus, was unlawful.
