On the 24th, another court interrogation will be held on the 24th in relation to the application for suspension of disciplinary enforcement for’two months of honesty’, which Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol filed against Justice Minister Chu Mi-ae. Considering the materiality of the case, the court’s will to conduct the hearing at the level of the original case was reflected. It is not uncommon for administrative courts to set additional deadlines.
Suspension suspension of execution The second interrogation tomorrow
Administrative court decided to extend unusually
Willingness to hear at the level of the main case trial
The 12th administrative division of the Seoul Administrative Court (Judge Hong Soon-wook) informed both sides that it would conduct a second interrogation on the 22nd at 3pm on the 24th after conducting an interrogation on the case for President Yoon’s application from 2pm to 4:15pm. It is said that the reason that the court extended the interrogation because it decided that the trial for suspension of execution in fact requires a hearing similar to the original lawsuit seeking cancellation of the suspension. The trial for suspension of execution is based on whether the applicant has incurred irreparable damage and the need for urgent measures to prevent this. In the main lawsuit, the reasons for disciplinary action and procedural justification are judged in earnest. In the end, the purpose is to consider the suitability and procedural justification of the disciplinary content of the Prosecutor and Discipline Committee of the Ministry of Justice.
Attorney Ok-hyung Lee on the Minister’s side said, “Many questions such as procedural and substantive defects in the disciplinary action, authority and subject of judgment, etc. have come and gone from the court.” General Yoon’s lawyer Son Kyung-sik said, “Most of the data that had been denied access or registration (by the Ministry of Justice) have been submitted to the court.” An attorney from a judge explained, “There is a high possibility that the suspension period will pass during the main case trial, so the suspension of execution trial is an important self-conclusive case.” In particular, the court asked the two sides to answer seven questions on this day.
▶To what extent does the main lawsuit require a hearing ▶Whether the rule of law or the general interests of society are included in the’Damages that are difficult to recover’ ▶Is the composition of the disciplinary committee legal ▶The reasons for disciplinary disciplinary actions should be specifically explained ▶In the’Analysis Document of the Court Explain the purpose ▶ Whether it is possible to initiate an inspection without the approval of the Prosecutor General.
The decision to extend the interrogation is not unrelated to Judge Hong’s prudent and meticulous disposition. When Judge Hong worked for the Seoul Central District Court in 2013, he received a perfect score along with one other judge in the judge evaluation of the Seoul Bar Association. His Judicial Research and Training Institute’s motive judge cut, “As’Judge Hong Soon-wook’ is in charge, it depends on who fights better in the court, and there is no risk of the court.” The purpose is that Director Hong, who has never revealed political colors, will judge based on records, statements and evidence.
Prior to the closed interrogation, both President Yoon and Minister Chu were absent, and lawyers attended. After the interrogation was over, both sides held an off-the-shelf battle. Minister Chu emphasized that suspension is a constitutional authority of the President. Attorney Ok-hyung Lee said, “Because the Prosecutor General is also a member of the Ministry of Justice, in the end, he must follow the authority and responsibilities of the President.” Mr. Yoon’s defense lawyers said, “The president has never opposed the reform of the prosecution that the government has promoted.” I have no intention of doing it.”
