The legal issue of blood and sweat has raised social concerns, and clerks are not immune to it! The Civil Division of the Supreme Court ruled on December 9, 2022 that the reserves of premiums paid for life insurance can be used as a subject of enforcement Cases trying to enforce insurance policies are flooding in into the Taipei District Court as a landslide, because some of the 21 insurance companies in Taiwan have 19 in the Taipei District Court area. According to statistics from the North Hospital, there will be more than 200,000 rape cases in 2023, an increase of 35% compared to 2022. Even though the North Campus prepared several sets of scripts and sent a lot of resources and personnel in possession, there were still clerks who lamented: It has been a long time since I got off work while it was still daylight!

It is understood that in order to clear the enforcement issues of life insurance policies, the Northern Hospital has adopted a multi-pronged approach On the one hand, it has added 7 new clerks in the Civil Enforcement Department , and also transferred all the clerks. who has served in the Civil Sector for less than 3 years to the Civil Enforcement Division. when new employees heard they were going to work in the North Campus Civil Enforcement Office, they were scared and turned back On May 1, there were 2 more of two secretaries to retire, leaving the already tight North Campus workforce. even worse.

It was pointed out that the Northern Hospital even had the idea of ​​transferring criminal clerks to the Civil Enforcement Division of the Criminal Division Later, it was found that many criminal clerks had no experience in handling civil cases me to relearn and change, which was not an option I gave because I was worried about causing internal chaos.

A clerk from the North Campus complained in the “Beijing Clerk” Facebook community: I know it’s hard work for the people to manage, but I didn’t know it would take this kind of hard work develop virtues. Since the relevant decisions of the Central Court came out, severe overtime work has become a common occurrence in the most difficult area of ​​the country’s No. 1 Hospital (Zhibei Hospital). who has the courage to speak his position already. I don’t know how to handle this fire. I don’t know if things will get better after the dividend increase, and I don’t know who I’m going to take my anger out on. right now…

The clerk pointed out that when he first joined the Enforcement Office, he was taught to check files regularly, but now we don’t have free time to check files The number of ongoing cases has exceeded us, and there are still complaints from closed cases it has to be moved to the office gradually the cabinets were stacked higher, and I kept thinking if the cabinets would fall down and if I hit, could I leave this terrible place?

Other clerks left messages saying that in the past few years, the volume of business has increased and that the people in the records department have screamed for a place like the Joint Office rape abandoned by “gods” who should not even expect any mercy. Last year, different companies (referring to different companies) Just use the suicide prevention card issued by the court This work is not worth losing. Another clerk opined: It may take another two years, when all enforceable insurance policies are almost fully implemented, before the disaster ends.

There is also a PO written by the secretary of the insurance company, hoping to “take care of the efficiency of shipments.” The insurance association is said to have increased their fees and premiums, but their efficiency has not improved. He said that looking at the specific numbers that rise every day is more difficult than Taiwan’s stock market. (As the figures are extremely ugly, I will be asked to make tea). Creditors often make emotional comments, believing that the court is unnecessarily delaying the execution process, and that they are unfairly taking the blame. . However, there are also clerks who complain on behalf of the life insurance companies, thinking they are too busy too.

In this regard, many judges and clerks believe that the Enforcement Law should be revised and the enforcement court should be changed to the court where the debtor is located to reduce the pressure on one court. From a social safety net perspective, the Financial Supervisory Commission and the Insurance Bureau believe that the Insurance Law can be revised to prevent people from losing protection due to the compulsory performance of their insurance policies.
