Which civil petition improvement matters are within what this council may deliberate and coordinate?
General information · Not legal advice
Material to check
In practice material of this kind, we read the petition seeking an improvement to a civil petition system, the papers showing which government departments the matter touches, and any request for review made under the review-request provision of the Act, since the provision turns on both of those features.
These are types of material to look for, not evidence already verified by PRO SE.
Where readings differ
One reading fixes the council's scope by its establishment and its function: it is established attached to the Prime Minister to deliberate and coordinate, and what it covers is improvement matters involving several government departments, review-request matters arising under the specific review-request provision of the Act, and other matters as provided by Presidential Decree.
Another reading notes that the provision does not say when an improvement matter counts as involving several government departments, that the further matters are left to Presidential Decree, and that the composition and operation of the council are themselves left to Presidential Decree, so the Act alone does not mark the outer edge of what reaches the council.
Your judgment
On the papers in a file, what shows that an improvement matter genuinely involves more than one government department rather than only one?
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 what the council deliberates, or if a Presidential Decree alters the further matters, the composition or the operation of the council.
