[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Byung-don] The hearing for the provisional injunction request filed by former People Power Party (PPP) leader Lee Jun-seok, seeking to suspend the duties of eight emergency response committee members, will be held on the 14th of next month.


On the 30th, the Civil Division 51 of the Seoul Southern District Court (Chief Presiding Judge Hwang Jeong-su) announced that at 11 a.m. on the 14th of next month, it will hold a hearing on the provisional injunction request filed by former leader Lee against Acting Chairman Kwon Seong-dong and all emergency response committee members, as well as the People Power Party, seeking suspension of effectiveness and suspension of duty execution.


A hearing on the objection to the provisional injunction decision that suspended the execution of duties of Emergency Response Committee Chairman Joo Ho-young, filed in protest by the People Power Party, is also scheduled to be held at the same time and in the same courtroom.


Former leader Lee submitted a second provisional injunction request to the court the day before, arguing that since the resolution of the National Committee appointing the Emergency Response Committee Chairman is invalid as per the injunction decision, the appointment of committee members by the chairman cannot be lawful or valid, and if the emergency response committee continues to operate under the acting chairman system, irreparable damage will be caused.



Previously, the court ruled that the People Power Party is not in an "emergency situation" warranting the establishment of an emergency response committee, and that establishing such a committee to change the leadership system violates intra-party democracy, thereby suspending Chairman Joo's duties.
