Korean Commercial Law provides that a board of directors will manage the business of a company. While representative director can manage day-to-day business, failure to secure necessary Board approval for certain company actions induces risk. Before the Korean Supreme Court en banc case 2015 Da 45451, when a company representative director enters into a contract with a third party on the company’s behalf without board approval, the court cases were favoring a narrow scope of liability, which let the third party bear the risks of agent’s behaviour. In the en banc case, however, the Korean Supreme Court changes to favor a broader scope of company liability on its representative’s unauthorized contract, which extend company’s liability to the unauthorized contracts of its representatives. Half of the standard is similar with “in-door management rule” of Royal British Bank v Turquand case. Korean Supreme Court, also, in the en banc case, enlarges the scope of unauthorized contract which can be covered new standard. The court applies the broad scope of liability not only to in-door management rule as well as section 393 ① violation. The author explores UK court cases and 2006 Company Act, and compares with Korea commercial code and court cases. He insists that Korean court should regard them differently between the limitation of the power of directors in the related law and that based on the incorporation of article of the company from the company’s liability perspective.
