[Legal Interview] Redevelopment and Reconstruction - Soo Hyun Song


 
We often encounter various legal issues in our lives. However, unless you are an expert, there are times when you are faced with a legal problem and are confused, and in this case, you will seek advice from a law firm.
 
But which law firm to go to is also an important issue. In this regard, Hanbyul, a law firm that passionately provides the best legal services with skilled lawyers in each field, is in the spotlight.
 
▶What is redevelopment and reconstruction:

As he became interested in the field of redevelopment and reconstruction, where private and public law, private interests and public interest coexist, and the protection of the legitimate interests of members has become important, Mr. Song, who is an active lawyer specializing in the field, explains the definition of redevelopment and reconstruction as follows:
 
Redevelopment and reconstruction generally refer to housing redevelopment and housing reconstruction, which are all based on the Urban and Residential Environment Maintenance Act (generally known as the Urban Maintenance Act or the Metropolitan Government Act) and improve the living environment in areas with a high concentration of old and defective buildings.
 
Housing redevelopment is an urban residential environment improvement project that develops new housing in areas lacking maintenance infrastructure, and housing reconstruction is a project in which existing homeowners establish a reconstruction association to demolish old, bad housing in areas with good maintenance infrastructure and build new housing in the place of demolition.
 
▶What are the most common conflicts in redevelopment and reconstruction projects:
 
The biggest conflict is between those who are in favor of development and those who are against it. There are also disputes over compensation, such as compensation for residential tenants and compensation for commercial tenants.
 
In addition to this, redevelopment and reconstruction projects are large-scale projects, so irregularities in the association, such as bribes paid by each contractor for pre-emption, also arise as a dispute, but nowadays, as the Urban Maintenance Act has been completed, irregularities such as those in the past have been reduced.
 
In terms of litigation, there are many disputes about the validity of each resolution made at the promotion committee and union general meeting, which are required at each stage, and the confrontation between the union administration, the non-contractor side, the contractor side, the contractor side, the union, and the members.
 
▶What is the most important thing to resolve disputes in redevelopment and reconstruction projects? This is because the redevelopment and reconstruction project is characterized as a private business in which the members invest and create a cooperative, and the cooperative operates as a private business, but the interests of the members are the key to resolving disputes because the project is carried out in each stage, such as the planned development area, the approval of the establishment of the cooperative, and the project implementation plan, and a certain number of consents are required for each stage.
 
In addition, it is important to protect the legitimate interests of the members from collusion with contractors, maintenance companies, demolition contractors, designers, etc. involved in reconstruction and redevelopment projects, and to harmonize public and private interests.
 
▶A lawyer who pursues harmony between public interest and private interest and listens to the sounds of the field
 
Soohyun Song considers the interests of members first and foremost, and advises unions to understand the reality of the current situation and proactively deal with it.
 
In conclusion, Ms. Song said that in the future, she will continue to listen to the voices of unions through direct involvement in the actual reconstruction sites.
 
He continued, "In the process of redevelopment and reconstruction, it is important to resolve disputes that occur after the fact, but it is even more important to prevent or reduce the occurrence of disputes in advance, and we will make further efforts in terms of eliminating the possibility of disputes in advance."We will do our best to protect the legitimate interests of our members in harmony with public interest and private interests."
