[Asia Economy Reporter Oh Gyumin] The hearing for the provisional injunction filed by former People Power Party (PPP) leader Lee Jun-seok, requesting the suspension of the effectiveness of the 'revised party constitution,' will be held on the 14th.

The Civil Division 51 of the Seoul Southern District Court (Chief Presiding Judge Hwang Jeong-su) will hear the second and third provisional injunction cases filed by former leader Lee (suspension of duties of eight emergency committee members including floor leader Kwon Seong-dong, and suspension of the effectiveness of the party constitution amendment resolution by the National Committee) as well as the objection case filed by former emergency committee member Joo Ho-young against the first provisional injunction at 11 a.m. that day.

The core issue in the hearing is expected to be the suspension of the effectiveness of the National Committee's resolution that amended Article 96, Paragraph 1 of the party constitution, which defines the party's 'emergency situation.' Last month, the first provisional injunction filed by former leader Lee was granted, resulting in the suspension of former committee member Joo Ho-young's duties. Subsequently, the PPP held a National Committee meeting and passed an amendment to the party constitution that detailed the cases defining an emergency situation.

Regarding the second provisional injunction case filed against the eight emergency committee members including former committee member Joo, it is expected that former leader Lee's side will withdraw the case due to the dissolution of the existing emergency committee. The objection case to the first provisional injunction filed by former committee member Joo on the 26th of last month, challenging the suspension of his duties, is also expected to be dismissed as he resigned, thus losing standing in the trial.

The hearing for the provisional injunction case filed by former leader Lee on the 8th, requesting the suspension of the effectiveness of the National Committee's resolution appointing Jeong Jin-seok as emergency committee chairman and the suspension of his duties, was postponed to 11 a.m. on the 28th after the PPP requested a change of the hearing date.
