Judgment of the lower court
Seoul High Court Decision 80Na1543 delivered on January 15, 1981
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal are assessed against the plaintiff.
Reasons
We examine the grounds of supplementary appeal of the Plaintiff’s 000 shot citizens, such as the grounds of appeal.
With respect to the first and second points:
In light of the records, after the plaintiff transferred all shares of the defendant company to the non-party on April 2, 197 to 1,80,000 won and received 1,450,000 won out of the total shares of the defendant company from the date of transfer to the non-party, until the 8th day of the same month, and the remaining remainder payment was deposited on June 18, 1980 after the plaintiff refused to receive it. The court below's decision that recognized the fact that there was no error in the misapprehension of the legal principles as to mistake of facts or deposit for repayment due to the violation of the rules of evidence, such as the theory of lawsuit, cannot be said to be the non-party's deposit. In light of the facts stated in the evidence No. 6 (Deposit), the above claim that the plaintiff was paid to the plaintiff as the refund of shares in excess of the defendant company as the transfer price of shares, the court below rejected the plaintiff's assertion that there was no grounds for rejection of the transfer of shares.
With respect to Article 3:
According to the reasoning of the judgment below, according to the provisions of the articles of incorporation of the defendant company and the related commercial law, the court below must make a resolution on the remuneration of the director of the defendant company, and the resolution on the confirmation of dividends and dividends through the approval of a general meeting of employees as stated in its reasoning with respect to the dividend. However, in this case, there is no evidence to acknowledge that the above procedure necessary for the payment of remuneration and dividends of the director was implemented, and therefore, the plaintiff's claim for remuneration and dividends of this case is groundless. Thus, in comparison with the records, the court below's above measures are acceptable, and there is no error in the misapprehension of legal principles as to the remuneration and dividends, such as the theory of lawsuit, or in the incomplete hearing. The argument
Therefore, the appeal is dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
