The Court of Appeal for Specialized Cases 11

Labor Case Division

Labor cases are different from ordinary civil and criminal cases
because they are about disputes between employers and employees

according to the employment agreement; or rights of employers and
employees under the law on labor protection and the law on labor
relations. Therefore, the appellate review of a judgment or an order
relating to such disputes should be adjudicated by justices who have

specific knowledge and insight on labor problems in order to adjudicate
labor cases expediently, correctly and fairly.

Types of Case Filed to the Court

The Labor Case Division in the Court of Appeal for Specialized
Cases is empowered to adjudicate the appeal of cases on the employment,

rights and duties under labor laws, i.e., the law on labor protection,
the law on labor relations, the law on labor’s compensation, the law on
social security, submitted for the appellate review of a judgment or an
order of a court of first instance, such as
Cases regarding a dispute over rights and duties under

an employment agreement or under the collective agreement concerning
the state of employment;

the law on labor protection or the law on labor relations;
Cases where the rights must be exercised through the court
