Judgment of the lower court

Seoul Central District Court Decision 69Na642 delivered on May 29, 1970

Text

The appeal is dismissed.

The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.

Reasons

The Plaintiff’s attorney’s ground of appeal is examined.

According to Article 17-3 (2) of the Korea Electric Power Company Act, when the defendant company issues shares pursuant to Article 17-3 (1) and Article 17-2 (1) of the same Act, the amount equivalent to one half of the revaluation reserve fund converted into capital should be issued comprehensively by requiring the shareholders to pay shares at the same time. In the case of a blanket issuance of new shares as above, since the amount of share paid at a cost and at a cost should be an organic integration between the share paid at a cost and the share paid at a cost, shareholders cannot acquire new shares unless the share is paid at a cost. Accordingly, the plaintiff who is the plaintiff who is the plaintiff who did not pay the share at a cost cannot seek the issuance of new shares at a cost. Accordingly, the original judgment is just and there is no error in the misapprehension of laws and regulations on the stock company, or in the misapprehension of legal principles on the dividend. The fact that the defendant company cannot acquire new shares without paying at a cost does not violate the comprehensive property right guaranteed by the Constitution.

Therefore, this appeal is without merit. 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.
