2. Determination as to the cause of action
A. The nominal shareholders listed in the relevant legal doctrine in the register of shareholders are recognized as the effect of granting a shareholder’s right, even if they did not prove their substantive rights in relation to the company, not by entering in the register of shareholders.
Where a person has invested shares in another person's name with the consent of the person, and has paid the price of shares by acquiring shares, only the person who has actually paid the price shall become a shareholder as a de facto shareholder, and the person who has merely borrowed shares shall not become a shareholder.
This is the same in the case of acquisition of shares by borrowing another person's name while establishing a company.
(see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2010Da22552, May 26, 2011).
