Reference Case: Chen Baoci and Qingshang Fertilizer v. Chen Shengui
A former controller who interferes with corporate governance and infringes the company's management rights by forging shareholder documents, seizing and controlling the company seal, and seeking to change the legal representative should bear tort liability. Taking the company seal and refusing to return it has no legal basis, and the need for return and injunctive relief does not disappear merely because the company later reports the seal lost or void.
