Air Pollution Control Act Article 93

When public and private premises violate the Act or relevant orders determined pursuant to the authorization of the Act and competent authorities at all levels are negligent in enforcement, victims or public interest groups may notify competent authorities at all levels in writing of the details of the negligent enforcement. For those competent authorities that have still failed to carry out enforcement in accordance with the law within sixty days after receipt of the written notification, the victims or public interest groups may name the competent authorities at issue as defendants and file a lawsuit directly with an administrative court based on the negligent behavior of the competent authorities in the execution of their duties, in order to seek a ruling ordering the competent authorities to execute their duties.When issuing a verdict on the lawsuit in the preceding paragraph, the administrative court pursuant to its authority may order the defendant agencies to pay the appropriate lawyer fees, detection and appraisal fees and other litigation costs to plaintiffs that have made specific contributions to the maintenance of air quality.The central competent authority in consultation with relevant agencies shall officially announce the format of the written notification in Paragraph 1.
