Zhang v. Langzhong Real Estate: Nominee Legal Representative Expungement

张某诉阆中某房地产开发有限公司请求变更公司登记纠纷案

A reference case supporting expungement where an employee was registered as a nominal legal representative but did not actually control or manage the company.

Brief English Introduction

Zhang was registered as the company’s legal representative because of an employer’s request, but the facts showed no real managerial control, no possession of company materials, and no substantive connection after leaving employment. The case supports a judicial route for removing a purely nominal registration when internal correction has failed.

Use It For

Use it to test the difference between registered appearance and the real governance relationship behind the filing.

Teaching Notes

Ask students what evidence should be enough to prove a person is only a “nominee” and has exhausted practical internal remedies.
