Gazette Case: Hong Kong Board Record

Gazette Case: Xu Minghong v. Quanzhou Nanming Real Estate Co., Ltd. and Lin Shuzhe

When reviewing a suit to confirm a company resolution invalid, courts must apply both company-law rules and civil-procedure standing requirements; a record made by the board of a Sino-foreign joint venture to note a party's statutory appointment or replacement of directors is not a board resolution in the company-law sense and cannot itself be challenged as such.
