🎯[Successful Case] NT$400,000 Fine and 4-Year Ban on Serving as A Preschool Educator — Successfully Revoked!

🎯 Professional Strategy – Restoring the Client’s Reputation and Protecting Their Right to Work

In the legal arena, procedural justice is the first line of defense in safeguarding rights.

Recently, our legal team successfully assisted a preschool educator in completely reversing an adverse administrative decision through the appeals process, despite facing a substantial fine and a career ban.

📌 Case Background

The client, a preschool educator, was accused by a child’s parent of corporal punishment and inappropriate treatment of the child.As a result, the Taipei City Department of Education imposed an administrative fine of NT$400,000 and a four-year ban from serving as an early childhood educator.Such a severe penalty virtually meant the end of the client’s career and immediately pushed them into financial hardship.

⚖️ Defense Strategy

Upon taking on the case, we promptly conducted a comprehensive legal review and focused on three key strategies:

1️⃣ Procedural Review

We conducted an in-depth examination of the investigation team’s process to ensure the Department of Education had strictly adhered to statutory administrative procedures and relevant regulations. Ultimately, we discovered serious procedural flaws.

2️⃣ Evidence Re-examination

We assisted the client in applying for access to the government case files, thoroughly reanalyzed the evidence relied upon by the administrative agency for the fine, and systematically identified elements that lacked clarity or legality, formally challenging them.

3️⃣ Active Advocacy

We requested an oral hearing for the client and presented our position and reasoning before the appeals review committee, supported by clear legal logic and factual substantiation.

🏆 Final Outcome

The Taipei City Government Appeals Review Committee concluded that:

• The investigation procedure conducted by the Department of Education was unlawful, and the number of decision-making members failed to meet the statutory quorum.

  
  

• The fine exceeded the applicable penalty range prescribed in relevant regulations.

  
  

• The original agency failed to provide justification for increasing the fine, violating the principle of clarity.

Accordingly, the Committee revoked the original decision, freeing the client from both an unreasonable financial burden and a severe career setback.

💬 Our Belief

Administrative agencies, in conducting their procedures, must consider both favorable and unfavorable circumstances for the party involved. In exercising discretion, agencies must not exceed the legally prescribed scope and must comply with the purpose authorized by law (as expressly stated in Articles 9 and 10 of the Administrative Procedure Act).

Every client deserves the protection of a fair process and has the legal right to request an error-free discretionary decision from an administrative authority. We will never back down in the face of unjust exercises of governmental power.
