What cases can be the subject of administrative litigation?
(01/15/2003)

(1) Punishments related to confiscated personal property, revoked business licenses, shutdown of business operations or factories, administrative custody and fines.
(2) Measures taken by administrative departments in emergencies--such as traffic congestion or accidents, epidemics and natural disasters--which are meant to protect society but affect individual interests. Such measures include compulsory medical treatment, detention and seizure or freezing of property.
(3) Disputes involving an individual businessman's decision making power as entitled by law. The decision-making powers of an individual or small business includes things such as management decisions, setting prices of products and services, sales, purchasing, investment, allocation of capital, disposal of assets, acquisitions and mergers, employment of labor, human resources management, wages and bonuses, benefits, and the organization of the company.
(4) Administrative departments' refusal to issue business permits and licenses which have otherwise been approved by law
(5) Administrative departments' refusal to help someone who needs administrative help or protection for their personal rights or property
(6) Administrative departments' failure to issue pensions for the needy. Pensions include those for the disabled and those for the relatives of the deceased. Certain administrative bodies are obliged by law to pay pensions to the needy of a regular amount. Needy persons do not have the right to litigate concerning pensions given by enterprises because they are not obliged by law, but granted based on the goodwill of the company.
