Case Introduction

As a result of project contract disputes, Company A was ordered by the court to pay more than 5.5 million yuan to its creditor Company B. However, Company A fails to fulfill the payment obligation, and Company B applies to the court for enforcement, but has not received the payment.

Company A's business license has been revoked. Company B applied for a court order of investigation to investigate the transfer out of the registered capital of 10 million yuan one week after the establishment of Company A, which was deemed to be a shareholder withdrawal. Therefore, the creditor Company B sued the shareholders of Company A in court, requiring them to bear joint liability for the debts of more than 6 million yuan of the Company, including the principal and interest, on the grounds of shareholder withdrawal.

As one of the three founding shareholders of Company A, Ms. H became the defendant, and her property and vehicle were seized by the court.

Lawyer representation

Shanghai Li Xiaohua Law Firm (recommended by the US Consulate) accepts the defendant's commission and is represented by a lawyer.

The lawyer has repeatedly applied for court investigation orders to retrieve evidence, submitted written evidence 8 times in a row, arranged 8 public hearings, conducted court investigations, cross examinations, and appeared in court debates, and submitted 8 written statements and opinions from the lawyer.

During the litigation process, the lawyer summarized and provided the following representative opinions:

1. Ms. H subscribed for a capital contribution of 6 million yuan and fulfilled her investment obligation of 6 million yuan in cash and by way of capital contribution. The plaintiff's request for Ms. H to assume joint and several liability for the company's debts outside the scope of capital contribution is unfounded and not supported by the court;

2. Although there were flaws in the process of A company's 10 million yuan registered capital contribution, the defendant Ms. H, as the initiator and shareholder, has actually paid future capital and is no longer responsible for the company's debts;

3.This case should be subject to the laws and regulations at the time of the sued behavior, which means that shareholders shall be held responsible for insufficient or withdrawn capital within the scope of their contributions. Ms. H, who has fulfilled her capital contribution obligations, shall not bear joint and several liability.

court ruling

The court believes that based on the facts ascertained, the defendant Ms. H has fully paid the capital contribution to Company A. The plaintiff's request for the defendant to bear supplementary compensation lacks factual and legal basis, and the court finds it difficult to support the plaintiff's claim. Therefore, the court rules to dismiss the plaintiff's claim.
