Judgment of the lower court
Msan District Court Decision 90Na244 delivered on August 17, 1990
Text
The appeal is dismissed.
The costs of appeal shall be assessed against the petitioner.
Reasons
The grounds of appeal by the applicant, etc. are examined.
According to the arguments, the respondent was dismissed by applying Article 66 of the State Public Officials Act to the applicant, but Article 66 (1) of the above Act is in violation of the Constitution, so the dismissal disposition of this case based on this is null and void.
However, Article 66 (1) of the State Public Officials Act provides that the right to equality under Article 11 of the Constitution, media, publishing, assembly, and association Article 21 of the Constitution, the provision guaranteeing the autonomy of education under Article 31 (4) of the Constitution, Article 33 of the Constitution, or the provision violating Article 37 (2) of the Constitution shall not be deemed an unconstitutional provision (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decisions 90Do332, Apr. 10, 1990; 90Do957, Jun. 26, 1990). Thus, there is no reason to discuss this issue.
Therefore, the appeal shall be dismissed and all costs of appeal shall be assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices.
