Wang Yue v. Xue Liang: Professional Closure and False Liquidation

王某月诉薛某亮清算责任纠纷案

A reference case holding a so-called professional closure actor liable after taking over a company and using false liquidation materials to cancel the company's registration and defeat creditors.

Brief English Introduction

The defendant took over a failing business, became its shareholder and legal representative, and then used false liquidation materials to cancel the company’s registration. Because the false process prevented a customer-creditor from being paid through proper liquidation, the court supported civil compensation liability.

Use It For

Use this case to connect corporate personality with exit: limited liability depends on lawful liquidation, not only lawful formation.

Teaching Notes

This is a good bridge from Unit 1 to liquidation. Ask students whether the harm is best understood as veil piercing, liquidation liability, registration fraud, or creditor-protection policy.
