D. Determination

1) As to the first argument

A) Article 3(2)9 of the Administrative Procedures Act and Article 2 subparag. 3 of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act provide that the same Act shall not apply to matters concerning disciplinary action and other measures pursuant to the Acts and subordinate statutes related to personnel affairs of public officials. Thus, in case of removal from position pursuant to Article 73-3 of the State Public Officials Act, it is not necessary to go through the procedures provided for in the Administrative Procedures Act in addition to the issuance of an explanatory note on grounds for disposition provided

According to Article 75 of the State Public Officials Act, when a public official is released from his/her position, an explanatory note stating the reasons for the disposition shall be issued to the public official who is subject to the disposition. This purport is to provide the public official with the opportunity to file a lawsuit where he/she is dissatisfied with the justifiable reasons, and the issuance of the explanation of reasons for the disposition cannot be deemed as an effective requirement for the disposition. In light of the fact that the issuance of the explanation of reasons for the disposition is a disadvantageous disposition against the public official whose dismissal is conducted at the discretion of the personnel management authority, the purport of the above provision regarding the issuance of the explanation of reasons for the disposition is to ensure the principal's opportunity for objection by allowing the personnel management authority to know the circumstances leading to the removal from his/her position, and to ensure the proper exercise of the authority regarding the removal from position by allowing the personnel management authority to decide with careful and reasonable discretion on the existence of reasons for the removal from position and exclude the person from his/her position (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 200Da97989, Dec. 297, 197).

B) On January 5, 201, the day before the disposition of this case, the defendant issued a written reason for the disposition of this case to the plaintiff on January 5, 201, which is the day before the disposition of this case. The reason for the disposition of this case is as follows: "the plaintiff was selected as a person subject to the capacity strengthening of evaluation results if he was the subject of the disposition of this case, and performed the capacity strengthening education and field support activities from July 12, 2010 to October 8, 201. Since it is deemed that the evaluation committee's 4-5 on-site support activities held on October 27, 2010 lacks the ability to perform duties, the disposition of this case shall be taken in accordance with Article 73-3 (1) 2 of the State Public Officials Act, and the plaintiff's appeal of this case against the disposition of this case was requested to the appeals review committee of this case on January 10, 201, but the plaintiff's appeal of this case is without merit.

2) As to the second argument

The following circumstances revealed in the above facts, namely, ① the selection of persons eligible for field support is based on the Defendant’s right to assignment, who is the personnel management authority, and the Defendant has considerable discretion to the Defendant. ② However, the Defendant established the instant means of strengthening the capacity by referring to the results of holding the workshop for improving the personnel system and the opinions of its affiliated agencies in order to strengthen the capacity of Grade 5 managers who lack the ability to perform their duties, such as guidance for organizing the above, and ③ the Defendant issued an evaluation on the public officials whose number of years has not passed since it was promoted to Grade 5 among Grade 5 public officials, to which Grade 4 or more would distort the outcome if it were conducted. The Seoul Local Employment Agency, which is composed of five or more years of promotion to Grade 5 or more, was to be recommended to the Defendant, based on the above policy on strengthening the capacity of the public officials to be recommended to Grade 5 or more, and if it appears that it would be objectively unreasonable, it would be reasonable that the selection criteria of the instant public officials to be conducted by the Seoul Local Employment Agency.

3) As to the third argument

A) The removal from position under Article 73-3 (1) 2 of the State Public Officials Act is a provisional measure that prevents a public official from performing his duties in the future because he lacks the ability to perform his duties or is extremely poor and that the public official temporarily fails to assign a position in order to prevent anticipated occupational interference if he continues to perform his duties in the future. The removal from position is a disciplinary measure against a public official’s past misconduct, which is taken for the purpose of maintaining national order (see Supreme Court Decision 2003Du5945, Oct. 10, 2003). The nature of the disciplinary measure is different (see Supreme Court Decision 2003Du5945, Oct. 10, 2003). However, where the removal from position constitutes an abuse of rights under related Acts and subordinate statutes such as the State Public Officials Act, or where it is evident that it falls under the abuse of rights under our sound social norms or social norms, the removal from position is an unlawful disposition that deviates from the scope of discretion or abused discretion (see Supreme Court Decision 2006Da3737376, Jun. 26, 2006).

B) Despite the above facts, the Plaintiff’s number of employees in the above-mentioned case, i.e., the number of employees in the above-mentioned field or the number of employees in the above-mentioned case’s records, i.e., the provision on the performance evaluation of public officials belonging to the Ministry of Public Administration and Security provides that such evaluation may be conducted if there are reasons for personnel management, etc., of the public officials belonging to the above-mentioned Seoul High-level 2. However, this provision provides that if the results of evaluation can be used for capacity development, education, and training, etc. (Ⅳ. 2) is merely an internal guidelines for administrative agency’s internal management, it cannot be deemed that the instant disposition was conducted in violation of the guidelines on the performance evaluation of public officials in the above-mentioned field, i.e., the number of employees in the above-mentioned field or the number of employees in the above-mentioned field, i., the number of employees in the above-mentioned field, and the total number of employees in the evaluation report prepared by the Ministry of Employment and Labor, 18.

3. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case is dismissed as it is without merit. It is so decided as per Disposition.
