Marine Pollution Control Act Article 66

When a perpetrator violates this Act or related orders determined pursuant to the authorization of this Act and the competent authority is negligent in enforcement, victims or public interest groups may notify the competent authority 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 of the receipt of the written notification, the victims or public interest groups may name the competent authority at issue as a defendant and directly file a lawsuit to an administrative court based on the negligent behavior of the competent authority in fulfilling its enforcement duties to seek a ruling ordering the competent authority to carry out enforcement.When issuing a verdict on the lawsuit in the foregoing paragraph, the administrative court pursuant to its authority may order the defendant competent authority to pay the appropriate lawyer fees, detection and appraisal fees and other litigation costs to plaintiffs who have made specific contributions to the prevention of marine pollution.
