(Central News Agency reporter Kao Hua-chien, Taipei 30th) The Civil Service Protection and Training Commission (CSPTC) today stated that in recent years, the most common type of protection and relief cases filed by civil servants are those concerning disciplinary actions, with police officers filing the most appeals. If observing the reasons for the revocation of civil servant disciplinary cases, "illegal or improper substantive review" accounts for over 80% of the total revoked cases.
The CSPTC today presented a business report at the Examination Yuan meeting titled "Analysis of CSPTC's Revocation Decisions in Protection Cases—Taking Disciplinary Cases from the Past 3 Years as an Example," analyzing the reasons for the revocation of civil servant disciplinary relief cases reviewed by the CSPTC between 2023 and 2025, to understand the reasons for illegal or obviously improper handling of disciplinary cases by various agencies and reasonably protect the rights of civil servants.
The CSPTC pointed out in a press release that in recent years, the most common type of protection and relief cases filed by civil servants are those concerning disciplinary actions by administrative agencies. Among them, due to the nature of police agencies' duties, which adopt a system of heavy rewards and heavy punishments, the number of disciplinary appeals filed by police personnel accounts for the most.
The CSPTC stated that the reasons for the revocation of civil servant disciplinary cases are mainly divided into "procedural illegality" and "illegal or improper substantive review," with "illegal or improper substantive review" accounting for over 80% of the total revoked cases.
CSPTC Chairman Tsai Hsiu-chuan pointed out that rewards and punishments are important bases for civil servant performance evaluations. Agencies handling civil servant disciplinary actions should comply with relevant regulations. If there are flaws in the operational or review procedures, or if the facts of the party's misconduct are not thoroughly investigated or incorrectly determined, these constitute grounds for revocation.
Tsai Hsiu-chuan also stated that before issuing a disciplinary order, if the agency already knows that the party's misconduct belongs to the same type, has a close correlation in time, and was discussed and reviewed by the same performance evaluation committee, the administrative responsibility should be evaluated and investigated comprehensively.
Tsai Hsiu-chuan said that in addition to promoting relevant relief systems to civil servants annually, the CSPTC also conducts guidance activities for agency personnel officers on protection affairs, introducing protection laws and regulations, explaining relevant cases, and the latest practical opinions. The CSPTC will continue to review civil servant relief cases with professionalism, fairness, and impartiality, urging various agencies to administer according to law to protect the rights of civil servants.
