# Data Section 4 Immigration Litigation

## Section 1 ◆ Summary

Most administrative litigation, etc. relating to the Immigration Bureau (hereinafter referred to as “Immigration Litigation”) are litigations demanding nullification of a issuance of written deportation order to foreign nationals illegally residing in Japan, or those demanding reversal of non-recognition as a refugee. The number of litigation cases, which were filed and allowed in 2011, was 243 in the merit of case (previous year: 268). Looking at yearly changes from 2007 to 2011, the number of litigation cases, which were newly allowed, was consistently increasing until 2008, but decreased in 2009, and the number has seen repeated ups and downs ever since. Also, the number of completed litigations by year was, in the merit of case, 250 cases in 2007, 355 cases in 2008, 310 cases in 2009, 288 cases in 2010, and 214 cases in 2011, thus it remains at high levels.

As a background to the fact that the number of newly accepted cases has been at high levels, the reform of the judicial system can be cited, which aims to ensure prompt proceedings through proper and sufficient procedures. In particular, the “Act for Partial Amendment of the Administrative Litigation Act” was put into force on April 1, 2005. This aimed to define a more effective remedial procedure for the rights and interests of people in connection with administrative litigations, the amendment of which involved the establishment of a system of provision (suggestion) of information on the statute of limitations, etc., extension of the statute of limitations, simplified and easy-to-understand eligibility for defendants in nullification litigation, etc. and so on. Such amendments can be regarded as the background to the trend of the number of newly accepted cases remaining at high levels. Also, efforts are being made to further accelerate court proceedings as a whole due to the “Act for Prompt Proceedings” which was promulgated and came into force in July 2003, and this can be regarded as the background to the recent high levels of the number of completed cases.

Further, the Immigration Litigation of recent years observes new types of filing for litigation, such as obligating special permission to stay in Japan, provisionally obligating provisional release permission, issuance of detention orders and their injunction or provisional injunction. The circumstances in which obligating litigation and injunction litigation were made statutory and a provisional remedy system prior to judgment on merit was defined by the “Act for Partial Amendment of the Administrative Litigation Act”, where litigation systems of these types were actively utilized, can be regarded as the background.

## Section 2 ◆ Major Court Cases

## Court case 1 [Nature as an administrative disposition of a notice to the effect that the application for the change of the status of residence is unlikely to be permitted]

In light of the wording of the written notice of this case (“As a result of the examination, the application for the change of the status of residence you filed cannot be permitted with the content as indicated in the written application, on the following grounds. However, if you intend to change the content and revise the application as that for the purpose of making preparations for departure, please submit a notification in the appended form.”), and based on the following facts, (i) with regard to a foreign national who manifested his/her intention not to change the content and revise the application as that for the purpose of making preparations for departure, the defendant shall issue an official notice for non-permission attached with a document to suggest nullification litigation, (ii) on the contrary, the notice in this case is not attached with such document, and (iii) the defendant’s allegation is found to be reasonable, alleging that the notice in this case has the effect to avoid the disadvantages for the foreign national that may be caused by suddenly rendering a disposition of non-permission and the notice in this case is a practical measure for that purpose, it should be construed that the notice in this case intends to inform of the plaintiff, prior to rendering a disposition of non-permission to the application for the change of the status of residence to “Long-Term Resident,” of the fact that the plaintiff may be able to change the content and revise the application to one for the purpose of making preparations for departure, if he/she wants to.

… According to the above, it cannot be found that the notice in this case constitutes a disposition not to permit the plaintiff’s application for the change of the status of residence.
