Complex Legal Information for Everyday Living such as Real Estate Dealing at a Glance! - Ministry of Government Legislation expands categories in its 'One Click, Practical Law' service - □ The Ministry of Government Legislation (Minister Lee Seogyeon) will add seven categories related to the public's everyday needs, such as 'real estate dealing' and 'irregular workers,' to its "One Click, Practical Law" system on October 1. This legal information system enables the public to easily and independently locate and use the legal information they need for their daily lives, thereby addressing the inconveniences currently experienced when searching for legal information. □ In the "One Click, Practical Law" system, laws, that are now intricately entangled with the roles of various government agencies, have been reclassified under categories familiar to people in their everyday lives and occupations. It amounts to an online legal information service where the often-arcane contents of the body of law are explained from a layperson's perspective. - A pilot of the program was launched in March 2008 with five categories: 'transportation & driving,' 'opening of restaurants,' 'employment of the handicapped,' 'foreign investment', and 'care of infants and children.' Then in July 2008, 15 areas were added including 'home application' and 'lease contracts.' The latest seven additional areas will serve to further enhance the legal information service. □ The Ministry expects that by adding seven areas that are closely interrelated with people's everyday lives such as 'real estate dealing,' 'irregular workers,' and 'employment of teenagers' on October 1, the public's utilization of the system will increase. - To ensure the convenient use of the seven additional categories, each area is divided into 'areas of interest,' 'items of interest,' and 'outline of legal explanation' and also provides legal information such as relevant Acts and subordinate statutes, their interpretations, precedents, decisions by the Constitutional Court of Korea, and more. - In the case of the 'real estate dealing,' a total of 45 Acts and subordinate statutes (26 Acts, 11 Presidential Decrees, six Ministry Ordinances, and two directives, established rules, etc.) related to real estate transactions are reviewed and analyzed. Relevant information is provided in an easy-to-understand way by classifying and arranging relevant information into 11 'items of interest' such as an outline of sale and purchase of real estate, preparations for contracts, conclusion and execution of contracts, violation of contracts, taxes and brokerage commissions, etc. □ The Ministry plans to continue to identify and service additional areas of everyday living where the public needs legal information to enable them to obtain the necessary legal information easily and conveniently, without requiring the help of legal professionals or incurring legal expenses. As such, the system is expected to represent an innovative instrument of e-government by providing the public a free legal information service. □ To use the system, one can type http://oneclick.moleg.go.kr in the URL navigation bar. ※Attachment: Seven newly added areas of legal information related to everyday living. - End - ※Attachment: Seven newly added areas of legal information related to everyday living □ Employment of teenagers Composition of 'employment of teenagers' Areas of interest Items of interest Relevant regulations (Detailed tabs) Teenage labor Working teens Working teens Outline of the legal system related to working teens Types of occupations where teens can work Types of occupations where teens can work Conclusion of a labor contract Conclusion of a labor contract Writing of a labor contract, etc. Minor certificate and employment permit Protections for working teens and things for employers to observe Working hours and wages Working hours, rest, etc. Request and receipt of wages Support for working teens Disease, injury, etc. Special class for working teens, etc. General things for employers to observe, etc. General things for employers to observe Prevention of sexual harrassment End of a labor relationship End of a labor relationship Cancellation and termination of a labor contract Dismissal Pay of wages when a employment relationship ends □ Real estate dealing Composition of 'real estate dealing' Areas of interest Items of interest Relevant regulations (Detailed tabs) Outline of real estate dealing Outline of sale and purchase of real estate Real estate Sale and/or purchase contract Sale and purchase procedures in real estate Preparations for a sale and/or purchase contract Confirmation of the object of the contract, etc. Confirmation of the object of the contract Confirmation of other rights Confirmation of the person(s) concerned Concerned parties of the sale and/or purchase contract Conclusion and execution of a sale and/or purchase contract Conclusion of a sale and/or purchase contract Writing of a contract Provision of the contract deposit Report of the actual transaction price of real estate Execution of a sale and/or purchase contract Obligation to execute a sale and/or purchase contract Permits by administrative agencies Permits by administrative agencies application for registration application for the registration of transfer of ownership Seller's collateral responsibility Seller's collateral responsibility Violation of a sale and/or purchase contract Violation of a sale and/or purchase contract Violation of a sale and/or purchase contract Cancellation of a sale and/or purchase contract Taxes and brokerage commissions Taxes Taxes paid by the seller Taxes paid by the purchaser Brokerage commissions Real estate brokerage commissions □ Men of merit who participated in a war Composition of 'men of merit who participated in a war' Areas of interest Items of interest Relevant regulations (Detailed tabs) Men of merit who participated in a war Outline of men of merit who participated in a war Outline of men of merit who participated in a war Men of merit who participated in a war Men of merit who participated in a war Exclusions to the application of the "Act on the Honorable Treatment of Men of Merit who Participated in a War" Relationship to registration of persons of distinguished services to the state, etc. Registration Registration request & report of change to one's personal status Registration request Report of change to one's personal status Honorable treatment and support Exaltation of their honor Granting of the title of a person of distinguished service to the state Certificate and ID card of a man of merit who participated in a war Financial support Honorary allowance for participating in a war Medical support, etc. Medical support Home-based welfare services Quality-of-life support Subsidy for visits to traditional palaces, etc. Legal aid support Burial in a national cemetery, etc. Burial in a national cemetery Funeral subsidy □ Non-profit corporation aggregate Composition of 'non-profit corporation aggregate' Areas of interest Items of interest Relevant regulations (Detailed tabs) Outline of corporations Concept of corporations What are corporations?
