Hyeok Joon Rho, Analysis of Major Corporate Law Cases in 2018, Human Right and Justice, No. 480 (2019), pp. 153-170. 

<Abstract>

Among those decisions rendered by the Korean courts in 2018, this paper focuses on corporate law cases dealing with critical jurisprudence. Nine major Supreme Court decisions in this paper are classified as ① shares, ② shareholders and their rights, and ③ director and representative director. For the sake of simplicity, some insights stated in several Supreme Court decisions are briefly explained in section ④. Compared to prior periods, the year 2018 had more cases whose factual backgrounds are quite complicated than their looks.
