Qinzhou Court Case: Former Employee Falsely Registered as Shareholder

Reference Case: Former Employee Falsely Registered as Shareholder

A person cannot become a shareholder without a genuine intention to join the company and assume the contribution arrangement. Where a former employee neither signed nor authorized company documents, never subscribed capital, and never exercised shareholder rights, false registration by the company does not create shareholder status; the legal consequences fall on the impersonating party.
