Judgment of the lower court

Busan High Court Decision 2015Nu22073 Decided July 8, 2016

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the Plaintiff.

Reasons

The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed).

1. The grounds of appeal are as follows.

The Plaintiff acquired the shares of CCC from BB, etc. on September 2005, and completed the transfer of title, which the Plaintiff leased the name of shares to BB. On January 21, 2010, the Plaintiff transferred the shares to DB upon the request of BB from the Plaintiff. Therefore, the lower court determined otherwise even though the Plaintiff did not constitute an oligopolistic shareholder who bears secondary tax liability pursuant to Article 39 subparag. 2 of the former Framework Act on National Taxes (amended by Act No. 11845, May 28, 2013).

2. However, such assertion is premised on the fact-finding by the lower court that deemed the Plaintiff, who acquired shares in its own name and transferred only the name in another person’s name, as a shareholder, as a result of the fact-finding of the lower court. This is merely a matter of dispute over the choice of evidence and the value of evidence belonging to the court’s free evaluation of evidence, and it does not constitute a legitimate ground for appeal. Furthermore, even if examining the lower court’s judgment in light of the records,

3. The Plaintiff’s appeal is without merit, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
