2. Whether the instant disposition is lawful

A. The Plaintiff’s lawsuit of this case before the Defendant’s merits is unlawful since 90 days have passed since the Plaintiff received a notice of dismissal of the Minister of Justice on the Defendant’s non-recognition of refugee status.

B. In light of the determination, Article 20(1) of the Administrative Litigation Act provides, “A revocation lawsuit shall be instituted within 90 days from the date the person becomes aware of the disposition, etc.: Provided, That where the proviso of Article 18(1) is provided or other claims for administrative appeal are possible, or where the administrative agency falsely notifies that a request for administrative appeal may be filed, the period of time when the written adjudication is filed shall be counted from the date when the authentic copy of the written adjudication is served.”

However, as seen earlier, the Plaintiff is the Minister of Justice.
