[Asia Economy Reporter Seongpil Cho] Prosecutor General Yoon Seok-yeol filed an administrative lawsuit on the 26th against Minister of Justice Chu Mi-ae, demanding the cancellation of the suspension order.

At around 3 p.m. that day, Prosecutor General Yoon submitted a petition to cancel the suspension order to the Seoul Administrative Court through his legal representative. In the petition, he argued that the six reasons Minister Chu presented as grounds for the suspension were factually incorrect and that the measure was illegal as he was not given sufficient opportunity to explain.

Following his request the previous night to suspend the effect of the suspension order, Prosecutor General Yoon has now initiated a full lawsuit, marking the start of a serious legal battle. A suspension temporarily 'halts' the execution of a disposition when there is a risk of irreparable damage, while the administrative lawsuit filed that day seeks to 'cancel' the suspension order itself.
