Han Dong-hoon, the 27th ‘inspection examination’, the Constitutional Court ruling Public argument

Minister of Justice Han Dong-hoon listens to questions from political lawmakers held at the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, on the afternoon of the 19th. By Won Dae-yeon, staff reporter [email protected]-Justice Minister Han Dong-hoon is expected to appear directly in public briefs on the authority dispute surrounding the bill “completely deprived of the investigative authority of the prosecution”.

The Ministry of Justice announced on the 21st that on the 27th Minister Han will personally pronounce on the request for a trial on the “dispute of authority between the Minister of Justice and the National Assembly” scheduled for the Supreme Court of the Constitutional Court on the 27th.

Minister Han said: “There is concern that a law with the wrong content will be created and implemented with the wrong intentions and through the wrong procedure, causing great harm to the public.”

He continued: “I told the Constitutional Court and the people that I would find a way to explain it to the Constitutional Court and the people in the most efficient way. We will do our best to minimize the damage to the public, “she added.

Previously, the Ministry of Justice had stated in June that the law “Total removal of the investigative authority of the public prosecutor”, which limited the scope of direct investigations by the prosecution for corruption and economic crimes, “violates the investigative and procedural functions of prosecutors guaranteed by the Constitution “, the Constitutional Court has proposed a dispute over the authority.

The ruling on power disputes is a case in which the Constitutional Court decides whether a state institution has violated the constitutional authority of another state institution.

On the 27th the public instance for a dispute of authority between the Ministry of Justice and the National Assembly will be held at the Supreme Court of the Constitutional Court.
