The applicant asserts that the case principal company did not publish a newspaper once a day according to the registered publication contents, but did not publish a newspaper for not less than four years from April 1, 1990 to the present day. Thus, the applicant asserts that the registered publication purpose and publication contents of periodicals constitute “when the registered publication purpose and publication contents are significantly repeated” under Article 12(2)2 of the Registration, etc. of Periodicals Act, and sought the revocation of the registration.
However, the above provision allows the cancellation of registration when the contents of the periodical are seriously and repeatedly violated the purpose of the publication and the contents of the publication, and if the periodical is not published, there is no content of the periodical. Therefore, it cannot be said that the contents of the periodical are in violation of the purpose of the publication or the contents of the publication. Thus, even if the principal company does not publish a newspaper for a long time differently from the contents of the registration, it cannot be viewed as a ground for cancellation of the registration of the periodical under Article 176 (1) 2 of the Commercial Act, on the ground that it constitutes "when the company suspends its business for more than one year without justifiable grounds" under Article 176 (1) 2 of the Commercial Act.
