Former Constitutional Court Justice Lee Jeong-mi, who retired after completing the impeachment trial of former President Park Geun-hye by acting as the Acting President of the Constitutional Court, will participate in the comprehensive real estate tax unconstitutional litigation team.

According to Logos, a law firm on the 20th, former Justice Jeong-mi Lee was named as a representative of the litigation team for unconstitutionality of the property tax, which Logos is recruiting.

The delegation also included former Constitutional Court Justice Min Hyung-ki, who was the presiding judge when the combined taxation of each generation was decided in 2008 to be unconstitutional. In addition, Kim Yong-ho, a former chief judge of the Seoul High Court, logos representative lawyer, and Kim Gun-su, a former chief judge of the Seoul Western District Court, will also participate.

Lee Jung-mi “The fact that the current taxation is wrong… There is no political meaning”

In this regard, former Judge Lee said in an interview with Chosun.com that day, “Many people are feeling the burden of the taxation. I don’t know how the Constitutional Court will conclude, but for those people, shouldn’t a lawyer come forward and try to fix it?” It is true that the property tax is wrong. I am not on anyone’s side. I saw that there was something that violates the Constitution, and we do it because we think it is something we should do, and it has no political meaning.”

Logos has been recruiting people to participate in the unconstitutional lawsuit since the 21st of last month. Logos △ Violation of the principle of tax equality due to excessive tax rates applied to multi-homeowners and corporations △ Infringement of property rights due to triple tax burden that goes beyond the burden of property tax and capital gains tax to excessive taxation △ Two houses unconditionally without the provision of ‘temporary two houses’ He explained that the current tax on taxation was unconstitutional for reasons such as the principle of equality of tax, infringement of property rights, and substantive violation of the tax legalism regarding tax items and tax rates.
