A. Where all or part of the directors in a juristic person under the Civil Act fail to appoint a new director even after the term of office expires, he/she shall have the former director perform the former duties until the new director is appointed, except in extenuating circumstances where it is deemed inappropriate to have the former director perform the duties of the juristic person.

Supreme Court Decision 81Da615 Decided March 9, 1982
The judgment below is reversed and the case is remanded to Seoul High Court.
The grounds of appeal by the respondent are examined.
According to the reasoning of the judgment of the court below, the court below rejected the plaintiff's objection to the plaintiff's legal representative who already lost the status of director of the respondent's legal representative for the reason that the plaintiff's office was terminated on May 13, 1980 and that the term of office for the plaintiff's legal representative for the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's 131st joint meeting on February 23, 1981 and elected the non-party 2 as the Respondent's successor director at the joint meeting of the Respondent's director and the Respondent's successor's successor to the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's removal of the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's legal representative for the same reason that the Respondent's objection to the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's dismissal of the Respondent's legal representative for the Respondent's dismissal of the Respondent's legal representative's dismissal of the 3rd.
The former director may perform his previous duties until the new director is appointed, unless there are special circumstances to recognize that it is improper to have all or part of the directors appointed after the expiration of the term of office of the former director despite the expiration of the term of office of the former director (see Supreme Court Decision 63Da15, Apr. 18, 1963; 66Da1347, Feb. 21, 1967; 68Da515, Sept. 11, 1972; 72Nu86, Apr. 11, 1972). However, the former director's right to work for the director whose expiration of the term of office has expired cannot be seen as an unlawful act of protecting his rights until the expiration of the term of office, unless there are circumstances to believe that it is improper to have the former director perform his previous duties (see Supreme Court Decision 200Da1686, Apr. 17, 196). Thus, the former director's new term of office cannot be interpreted as an unlawful act of 9.
Therefore, the judgment of the court below is reversed, and the case is remanded to the Seoul High Court. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
