In which cases may the Labour Commission have a lawyer or certified labour attorney act for a socially vulnerable group?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In the case material of this exercise, we read the paper showing which category the matter falls into among the matters the related provision lists, the name and licence of the lawyer or certified labour attorney, and any papers on the person's circumstances as a socially vulnerable group.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes 'among the matters in the first item' of the related provision on categories as the real boundary: the Labour Commission may have a lawyer or certified labour attorney act for a socially vulnerable group in cases drawn from that item, and the matters named, such as adjudication, decisions, approvals, recognitions and remedy of discriminatory treatment, end with 'etc.', so they illustrate rather than close the list.
Another reading notes that the provision says the Labour Commission 'may' arrange such representation rather than that it must, and it leaves the requirements, the persons who qualify and the representative's fee to a ministerial ordinance of the ministry in charge of employment and labour, so this provision alone settles neither who is eligible nor how the lawyer or certified labour attorney is paid.
Your judgment
When the file does not show that the matter falls within the relevant item of the related provision, what in the papers could place it there?
PRO SE does not make this decision or keep a case record on this public site.When to reconsider
We look at this again if the provision is amended to change the cases it reaches or the professionals who may act, or if the ministerial ordinance under it sets out which groups count as socially vulnerable.
