Court suspends legislative reform bills

Saturday, 20 July 2024 05:41 Taipei Times

The Constitutional Court yesterday ordered the temporary suspension of controversial legislative reform bills passed in May in a move that prevents the legal changes from being implemented.

The suspension is to remain in force until the court rules on the constitutional challenges to the bills, affecting one article of the Criminal Code and eight articles of the Act Governing the Legislative Yuan’s Power (立法院職權行使法), the court said in a news release.

The ruling means the legal amendments promulgated on June 24 cease to be in effect for the time being.

Amendments harm constitutional order: lawyers

Thursday, 11 July 2024 07:06 Taipei Times

Lawyers representing four parties that filed for an injunction and a constitutional interpretation of the amendments expanding the legislature’s powers yesterday urged the Constitutional Court to approve the injunction, saying the changes would damage the constitutional order.

The court began preliminary hearings on the injunction.

The Legislative Yuan passed the amendments on May 28 and promulgated them on June 26. It was followed by a historic first in which the Democratic Progressive Party’s (DPP) legislative caucus, the Executive Yuan, President William Lai (賴清德) and the Control Yuan all filed for a ruling on their constitutionality.
