Once the papers on an application for reconsideration reach the head of a si, eup or myeon, what must that head do, and who must hear from them?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In the practice file we read the papers that reached the local office, so that the application and its attachments can be matched against the disposition complained of, and the local office's own record of the finding it made, whether the disposition was changed and what was sent where.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading takes both duties as written: where the head of the si, eup or myeon finds the application well-founded, that head must change the disposition without delay and notify both the court and the applicant of that fact, and where the head finds it not well-founded, the papers must be returned to the court without delay with an opinion attached.
Another reading marks what the provision does not fix: it presupposes that the papers have reached the head of the local office but says nothing about how they get there, what the change of disposition must consist of, or what the accompanying opinion must contain, and it requires no step involving the applicant beyond being notified in the first case.
Your judgment
If the local office sends back the papers with an opinion, what in the file would show the applicant that the disposition was actually left unchanged and why?
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 set how the papers reach the local office or what the opinion must contain, or if a court decision explains what changing the disposition requires under the Act on the Registration, etc. of Family Relationships.
