[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Shin Woo-cheol) announced on the 11th that it has been continuously winning various lawsuits involving Wando County as a party, greatly contributing to the stable operation of administration and the enhancement of trust.

Wando County handled 35 cases in the first half of this year, including 26 ongoing cases, and won 8 out of 9 concluded cases (including partial wins), achieving a winning rate of 88%.

This figure is close to last year's winning rate of 90% (20 concluded cases), indicating that Wando County is actively responding to lawsuits and maintaining stable administrative operations.

This high winning rate is interpreted as a result of the legal and procedural work performed by Wando County officials, who strive to enhance administrative transparency and trust, and the active legal administrative support utilizing legal advisors, which has greatly improved the ability to respond to lawsuits.

In particular, the county actively appealed the “Civil lawsuit for indirect cost claims on Geumil sewage pipes,” which was lost in the first trial, resulting in a second trial ruling with a reduction of 528 million KRW compared to the first trial.

Additionally, in the “Administrative lawsuit for claims of overtime pay for security guards,” where the trial has concluded and only the verdict remains, both parties reached a mutual agreement to pay an amount reduced by 136 million KRW compared to the verdict through reconciliation, achieving a total budget saving effect of 686 million KRW through proactive litigation efforts.

Kim Hee-soo, Director of the General Affairs Division of Wando County, stated, “Various lawsuits against administrative agencies are becoming increasingly complex and diverse,” and added, “We will continue to do our best to respond professionally to lawsuits and prevent their occurrence in advance to realize an administration trusted by residents.”

Meanwhile, Wando County operates the “Village Lawyer System” in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice to provide free legal consultations for Wando residents who usually find it difficult to access lawyers.

Residents wishing to receive legal consultations can inquire at the general affairs team of their nearest eup/myeon office to obtain contact information for the village lawyer assigned to each village and receive free consultations on legal issues such as real estate, money, inheritance, and divorce.

There are a total of eight village lawyers assigned to Wando County, and consultations are conducted remotely via phone, fax, or email.
