1-4 · Appeals against administrative dispositions

Preparation of documents for submission of opinions, objections, and administrative appeals regarding administrative dispositions

Dispositions that impose obligations or restrict rights, such as cancellation of a registration or permit or a corrective order, are preceded by a prior notice under Article 21 of the Administrative Procedures Act, and you can submit an opinion within the deadline in the notice (at least 10 days); cancellation of a permit or of a corporation's establishment permit requires a hearing under Article 22 of the same Act. After the disposition, you can file an objection with the disposition authority within 30 days from receiving it under Article 36 of the Framework Act on Administrative Regulation and Procedures, or file an administrative appeal within 90 days from the date you learned of it and within 180 days from the date it was made under Article 27 of the Administrative Appeals Act. If you filed an objection, you can file an administrative appeal within 90 days from the date you were notified of the result, and a refusal of an application is also subject to administrative appeal. Where an individual law sets its own objection procedure, that procedure applies first, and administrative fines follow the objection procedure of the Act on the Regulation of Violations of Public Order.

  1. 01

    Identifying the disposition and its basis: Check the title, legal provision, facts behind the disposition, opinion deadline, and appeal notice in the disposition or prior notice. The way to challenge it differs depending on whether it is a refusal of an application or the cancellation of an existing permit or imposition of an obligation.

  2. 02

    Opinion and hearing: At the prior-notice stage, submit an opinion and supporting materials to the agency named in the notice by the deadline. If a hearing applies, as with permit cancellation, notice arrives at least 10 days before the hearing, so prepare your statement and evidence in advance.

  3. 03

    Deadlines and choice of route: Decide between an objection to the disposition authority within 30 days from receipt and an administrative appeal within 90 days from learning of the disposition. Even after an objection, you can file an administrative appeal within 90 days from notification of the result, so record that date.

  4. 04

    Facts and supplementary materials: Organize in date order where the facts behind the disposition differ from reality, what has already been corrected or supplemented, and why documents were missing from earlier filings. If the basis for the disposition is unclear, obtain inspection and review records through an information disclosure request.

  5. 05

    Administrative appeal and stay of execution: File with the provincial administrative appeals commission for dispositions by a city, county, or district head, and with the Central Administrative Appeals Commission for most dispositions by a provincial governor or national agency. For dispositions that immediately stop business or activities, such as cancellation of registration, also file a stay-of-execution application describing the serious harm and urgency.

  6. 06

    Responding to the answer and after the decision: When the authority's answer arrives, add rebuttal materials in a supplementary brief. The decision is generally made within 60 days from the commission's receipt of the appeal and may be extended by 30 days; if the disposition is revoked or modified, check the authority's follow-up measures.
