Changwon Special City to Appeal Court Dismissal of Administrative Lawsuit on Ungdong 1 District

Analysis and Response Strategies Following Dismissal Ruling in Administrative Litigation on Cancellation of Developer Designation

Changwon City in Gyeongnam announced on the 7th that the 1st Administrative Division of the Busan District Court dismissed Changwon City's administrative lawsuit regarding the objection to the cancellation of the designation of the developer for the Ungdong 1 District development project by the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority and the cancellation of the usage permit before the completion inspection.

This ruling came about one year and six months after Changwon City filed an administrative lawsuit against the Busan-Jinhae Free Economic Zone Authority's cancellation of the designation of the developer for the Ungdong 1 District project, holding Changwon City and Gyeongnam Development Corporation responsible for incomplete development within the project period, failure to implement the execution plan, and failure to comply with the implementation order in 2023.

Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon City, stated, “We respect the court's decision, but we regret that our claims were not accepted,” adding, “After thoroughly analyzing the judgment with our legal representatives and conducting internal discussions, we will decide whether to appeal as soon as possible.”
