In this care it was the issue that purchases on the company’s account but at another’s name also regulated by the provision of commercial code of repurchases of it’s own shares. Supreme court required two element for the share purchases by another’s name to be purchases on company’s account. ① the corporate should give financial aid to the acquirer. ② benefit and loss from shares repurchases should belong to the corporate. Under revised provision, if the corporate repurchases it’s own shares by another’s name, it will be illegal and can be void.
