Reasons
On August 28, 1962, the Defendant Company was established as 1,250,00 capital and 50,000 shares for the purpose of developing Chungcheong mine. The shareholders at the time of incorporation were Plaintiff 2 (20,50), Nonparty 1 (2,500), Nonparty 2 (2,50), Nonparty 3 (1,500), Nonparty 4 (2,500), Nonparty 5 (2,500), Nonparty 6 (2,500), Nonparty 7 (1,500 shares), and Nonparty 1 did not dispute over the above 8th shareholder’s shares at the above temporary shareholders’ meeting of the Company until 1962. The shareholders at the time of incorporation did not underwrite the shares of the Plaintiff at the general shareholders’ meeting of the Company with Nonparty 1 as the shareholders of the Company, Nonparty 1,8, and 9, Nonparty 1, 250 shares again were allotted to the Plaintiff at the above 10th shareholder’s meeting of the Party, 1964.
On the other hand, even if the company acquired shares by transfer between the parties before the issuance of the share certificates, it shall not be effective for the company. The shareholders at the time of the establishment of the company are eight shareholders at the time of establishment of the company. Since all of the shareholders other than the non-party 1 present at the above general shareholders' meeting is obvious in light of the former part, the resolution at the above general shareholders' meeting cannot be seen as a resolution at the general shareholders' meeting, and there is no evidence to recognize that the company notified the general shareholders' meeting to seven shareholders other than the non-party 1 (17,500 shares) at the general shareholders' meeting, and since the above resolution at the general shareholders' meeting cannot be seen as a defect, the above resolution at the general shareholders' meeting is not a shareholder at the time of establishment. Since the plaintiff 1 was not a shareholder at the general shareholders' meeting after acquisition of shares after establishment, and the plaintiff 2 transferred the shares to the defendant 1, who was not subject to the plaintiff 1's resolution at the general shareholders' meeting after its establishment, the plaintiff 1 and the plaintiff 2's plaintiff 1 were not entitled to seek.
In the same sense, it is evident that there is no resolution to appoint the Defendant’s assistant intervenor as a director at the temporary general meeting of shareholders on March 28, 1964 by the Defendant Company. Thus, the lower court’s judgment, which is the same purport, is justifiable in that the Plaintiffs’ claim for confirmation of this lawsuit is justifiable, and that this appeal is dismissed as it is without merit, and it is so decided as per Disposition by applying Articles 384, 95, 94, and 89 of the Civil Procedure Act.
