Brief English Introduction
Wan Jiayu is useful for separating the internal validity of amended articles from the public effect of registration. The court treated shareholder consensus on the amendment as the decisive internal moment, while registration served the publicity function and affected reliance by good-faith third parties.
Use It For
Use this case to ask why initial articles and later amendments are treated differently, and how company registration allocates risk between insiders and outsiders.
Teaching Notes
The case is a clean bridge between company autonomy, articles drafting, and the evidentiary role of the public register.
