Wei Tongbing v. Xinjiang Baota: Removed Legal Representative and Registration Change

韦统兵与新疆宝塔房地产开发有限公司等请求变更公司登记纠纷案

SPC Gazette case holding that a company must implement a valid internal removal of its legal representative and complete the corresponding registration change.

Brief English Introduction

This case is the anchor authority for treating the legal representative’s position as grounded in corporate authorization rather than a free-standing personal status. Once the competent company organ has removed the person under the articles, the representative authority ends internally and the company must take the public-registration steps needed to make the record truthful.

Use It For

Use it to connect corporate personality with public registration: outsiders see the registered legal representative, but the internal source of authority remains the company’s appointment.

Teaching Notes

Ask students why the court can require a registration change without itself choosing the next legal representative.
