[Ground of recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1, 2, 11, Eul evidence Nos. 1 and 11 (including additional numbers), the purport of the whole pleadings

2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The plaintiffs alleged that they were entitled to title trust by F Religious organizations, not E, but E. Since F Religious organizations are exempt from taxation of profit-making businesses in practice as religious organizations, there is no room for recognizing the purpose of tax avoidance.

However, the FM religious organization will be a shareholder of the non-party company who carries out profit-making business; the non-party company will be a corporation operated by the FM religious organization, and the non-party company or its officers and employees may suffer disadvantages when it comes to a corporation operated by the FM organization; and the new shares will be raised to the plaintiffs, who are the believers.
