2. Determination
A. Determination on the cause of the claim
1) The plaintiff's assertion
The Plaintiff, as a creditor of ParkB, on the ground that each title trust agreement on the instant shares between ParkB, SongB, and HanD was terminated, sought entry into the transfer of the instant shares against the Defendant on behalf of ParkB in subrogation of ParkB.
2) Determination
According to the above, each title trust agreement on the instant shares between ParkBBD and SongCC was terminated on March 6, 2010, and SongCC on March 19, 2012 at the time when the title truster ParkB requested the Defendant to transfer the instant shares to the Defendant on March 19, 2012, and ParkBB had the right to request the Defendant to implement the transfer registration procedure on the register of shareholders in its name. Since ParkB had the right to request the Defendant to implement the transfer registration procedure on the register of shareholders in its name, and the Plaintiff did not exercise the said right under the insolvency of ParkBB, the Plaintiff has the right to request the transfer registration on the instant shares by subrogation of ParkB in order to preserve its claim against ParkB.
