The judgment that the lawsuit costs shall be borne by the defendant

Reasons

1. The defendant company held a provisional shareholders' meeting on each date and time of the entries in the purport of the claim and made each resolution as stated in the purport of the claim, and the fact that the registration of such contents is listed in the company register is not a dispute between the parties.

2. The plaintiffs were established on June 21, 1971. 10, 100, 100 shares of 10,000 shares, 10,000 shares issued by the above 1,250 shares, and the defendant company held 1,250 shares among the above shares, and the defendant company held 1,250 shares on each of the above 1,250 shares, and it stated that the above 4-mentioned temporary shareholders' meeting minutes were falsely prepared as stated in the company registry as if the above 1,250 shares were not held, and the above 10-mentioned shareholders' 7 shares were not held at the above 9-6 shareholders' general shareholders' meeting. The defendant argued that the above 1-6 shareholders' 7 shares were not held at the above 9-6 shareholders' general shareholders' meeting, and that the above 1-6 shareholders' shares were not held at the above 10-6 shareholders' general shareholders' meeting. The defendant company's 1-6 shareholders' shares shares were not held at the above 1-6 shareholders' 1, 2, 1-2, 37 shareholders' shares shares.

According to Article 355 (2) of the Commercial Code, since the transfer of shares before the issuance of share certificates is effective against the company, the transfer of shares above is effective before the issuance of share certificates, and thus, the plaintiffs are now holding 1,250 shares of the defendant as the original shareholders. Therefore, even if the defendant must give notice of convocation to the plaintiffs who are shareholders in holding the shareholders' meeting, each shareholders' meeting as stated in the purport of the claim is defective.

However, according to the above evidence Nos. 1 and 14,16,17 of Gap evidence Nos. 2 without dispute over its establishment and testimony of non-party Nos. 14,16,17 (Minutes of Each Provisional General Meeting of Shareholders) and the witness of the court below, the defendant company issued 47,440 shares of the defendant company at the time of the above provisional general meeting of shareholders on April 8, 1974 and 47,40 shares issued 47,40 shares of each of the above provisional shareholders since the incorporation of the defendant company and the witness of the court below and the non-party No. 2 were issued each of the above provisional shareholders' meetings until the day of each of the above provisional shareholders' meetings, and there is no evidence to acknowledge that the remaining shareholders except the plaintiffs and the shareholders of the above new shares were not entitled to notice of convening each of the above provisional shareholders' meetings. Thus, there is no other evidence to prove that each of the above defendant company's provisional shareholders' meetings did not exist any defect in the total number of shares issued by each of the defendant company.

3. Therefore, the plaintiffs' claims in this case based on the premise that there is no resolution of each of the above provisional shareholders' meetings of the defendant company shall be dismissed without merit. Accordingly, the judgment of the court below with the same theory is just and the plaintiffs' appeals are without merit, and the costs of appeal shall be borne by the plaintiffs who have lost them. It is so decided as per Disposition.
