Act for Promotion of Private Participation in Infrastructure Projects Article 53

If, during the building or operations of an infrastructure, there are serious schedule delays, material defects in the building quality, poor operations, or other major events, and due to the pressing nature thereof, any failure to take immediate action may jeopardize major public interests or result in imminent danger, the central authority in charge of the relevant industries may order the private institution concerned to cease part or all of the construction or the operations of the infrastructure, with a notice to each of the government agencies concerned.In the event of suspension of part or all of the operations of an infrastructure under Paragraph 1 of the preceding article, or the cessation of part or all of the operations under the preceding paragraph, or the termination of the concession agreement, the authority-in-charge may take steps at its discretion to maintain the operations of the infrastructure. If necessary, the authority-in-charge may compulsorily take over the operations of the infrastructure. The regulations governing the takeover methods, the scope, enforcement and termination of the takeover, and related matters shall be prescribed by the central authority in charge of the relevant industries.
