2. The plaintiff's assertion

The decision of the court below on the delivery volume of this case violated the validity of the decision to suspend the execution of this case, and the plaintiff was not notified of the hearing procedures, etc., and the above disposition of the delivery volume was unlawful, even though the plaintiff was excessively harsh and abused discretion, the defendant's disposition of the delivery volume of this case was otherwise reported.

3. Related statutes;

It is as shown in the attached Table related statutes.

4. Determination as to the defendant's defense prior to the merits

A. Defendant’s defense

The defendant asserts that the lawsuit of this case is unlawful as it was filed without going through the procedure of the previous trial.

B. Determination

According to Article 55 of the Framework Act on National Taxes, a person whose rights or interests have been infringed upon by this Act or other tax-related Acts by being subject to an illegal or unreasonable disposition or by failing to receive a necessary disposition may request the cancellation or modification of such disposition or by filing a request for necessary disposition. As long as a person is subject to a disposition under this Act or tax-related Acts, it is unclear whether such disposition includes a passive disposition, such as refusal or omission, and whether such disposition is a tax disposition or not. In order to seek the cancellation of such disposition, unlike the principle of discretionary transfer of administrative appeals applied to general administrative litigation, the procedures for a request for examination or adjudgment (including each case where a formal objection is filed) under Articles 55(1) and 56(2) and (3) of the Framework Act on National Taxes must be completed within 90 days after he/she became aware of such disposition (including the date on which he/she receives a notice of disposition

According to the above evidence, even if the Plaintiff knew of the disposition of delivery volume under the liquor tax law around November 15, 2010, it can be acknowledged that the Plaintiff did not request an examination or a request for trial under the Framework Act on National Taxes until 90 days have passed from the date of the disposition, and thus, the lawsuit of this case is unlawful since it is not subject to the prior trial procedure prescribed by the Framework Act on National Taxes. Thus, the Defendant’s defense prior to the lawsuit of this case is justified (the lawsuit of this case was filed on December 7, 2010 by filing a civil petition that the disposition of delivery volume should be illegally withdrawn through the citizen examination, which is an online civil petition counter operated by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission, and even if the above civil petition was transferred to the Defendant, it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff did not receive a response by filing a civil petition, and it cannot be deemed that the Plaintiff underwent a lawful request for examination, etc. under the Framework Act on National Taxes (see Supreme Court Decision 95Nu5332, Sept. 29, 1995).

5. Conclusion

Therefore, the lawsuit of this case is unlawful and dismissed, and it is so decided as per Disposition.
