公務員懲戒法

Civil servants are subject to discipline only under this Act, except where another law provides otherwise.

When imposing disciplinary measures, all circumstances must be considered, especially the listed factors for setting the severity of the sanction.

修正前已送交且尚未 ավարտ結的懲戒案件，原則上由懲戒法庭第一審依第一審程序繼續審理；修正前已進行的程序效力不受影響。

對修正前公務員懲戒委員會的議決或裁判提起再審時，由懲戒法庭依修正後程序審理。

修正條文施行前已作成但尚未執行完畢的公務員懲戒委員會議決，仍依修正前規定執行。

本法的施行日期由司法院决定。

This provision says a person is removed from duty, relieved of their current post, and may not be appointed again as a civil servant.

撤職的人會被撤現職，並停止任用一段期間（一年以上、五年以下）。

This provision defines pension forfeiture and pension reduction amounts, and says some specified insurance and self-contributed amounts are excluded.

休職期間停止現職並停發俸（薪）給；期滿後可申請復職，復職後二年內不得晉敘、陞任或調任主管職務。

受懲戒人可被降一級或二級改敘；若無級可降，則按級差減少月俸（薪）。

對受懲戒人處以減俸，減幅為現職月俸（薪）的10%至20%，期間為6個月以上、3年以下。

A fine ranges from NT$10,000 to NT$1,000,000.

A reprimand can be issued once or twice. For one year after the reprimand, the person may not be promoted, upgraded, or transferred to a supervisory post. If reprimands total three times within one year, the person’s current pay grade is reduced by one level; if no lower grade is available, Article 15(2) applies.

A reprimand must be in writing.

公務員在特定情況下，應受懲戒。

This provision bars certain disciplinary sanctions once too much time has passed since the conduct ended and until the case is pending before the disciplinary court.

If a person leaves office before a demotion or pay-cut punishment is carried out, the punishment is carried out or continued when they are reappointed.

同一行為原則上不得由懲戒法院二次懲戒；但即使已受刑罰、行政罰或未受刑罰、行政罰，仍可懲戒。

監察院認為公務員有第二條所定情事且應付懲戒時，應將彈劾案連同證據移送懲戒法院審理。

機關首長認為所屬公務員有第二條所定情事時，原則上應備文敘明事由並連同證據送監察院審查；對薦任第九職等或相當職等以下公務員，得直接送懲戒法院審理。

If one wrongful or improper case involves several public officials, the case must be transferred together or separately depending on whether they belong to the same supervising authority, different supervising authorities, or have no common higher authority.

If the disciplinary court lacks authority over a transferred disciplinary case, it must order the case sent to the competent authority; if there is a dispute about jurisdiction, it must decide first. Before making those orders, it may ask the parties for their views.

A judge must recuse and must not perform duties if any listed conflict-of-interest condition applies, unless another law provides otherwise.

被付懲戒人或移送機關在兩種情形下可以聲請法官迴避；但當事人已就案件聲明或陳述後，原則上不得依第二款聲請，除非原因之後才發生或之後才知道。

Recusal must generally be requested in writing to the disciplinary court with reasons; it may be made orally at a hearing or examination, and the applicant must explain the grounds. A judge who is the subject of the recusal request may submit a written opinion. The judge must suspend proceedings until the recusal matter ends, except in specified defective or delay-tactic cases, and urgent necessary measures may still be taken during the suspension.

If a public servant’s conduct was neither intentional nor negligent, they are not subject to discipline.

法官迴避聲請由懲戒法庭裁定；被聲請迴避的法官不得參與裁定，若聲請有理由，應即迴避。

符合第二十八條第一項第二款情形的法官，在懲戒法院院長同意後，可以迴避。

Judge recusal rules also apply to clerks and interpreters.

移送機關在懲戒案件中，可以委任律師，或委任辦理法制、法務或相關懲戒業務的所屬人員擔任代理人。

被付懲戒人可以聘請辯護人；原則上辯護人應是律師，但經審判長許可時，也可以請非律師；每人最多三名辯護人，若有多名辯護人，文書要分別送達。

被付懲戒人原則上應親自到場；經審判長許可時，可以委任一名代理人到場。

選任辯護人時，應向懲戒法庭提出委任書；前項規定對代理人也準用。

懲戒法庭收到移送案件後，應先把移送書繕本送達被付懲戒人，並命其在10日內提出答辯狀；言詞辯論期日距送達至少應有10日就審期間。

在被付懲戒人因精神障礙、其他心智缺陷無法答辯，或因疾病不能到場時，懲戒法庭應裁定停止審理，直到其回復或能到場為止。

一般情況下，懲戒審理不因同一行為正在刑事偵查或審判而停止；但若懲戒處分涉及犯罪是否成立，懲戒法庭認有必要時，可在第一審刑事判決前裁定停止，且可依聲請或職權撤銷該裁定。

A public servant’s duties automatically stop if they are wanted or detained in criminal procedure, or if a final criminal judgment deprives them of civil rights or imposes a prison sentence that is being served.

書記官在審判長指定期日後要製作並送達通知書；通知書還必須載明案由、應到場人資料、到場原因、時間地點，且在言詞辯論期日時要載明不到場的法律效果。

訊問時要當場製作筆錄，並記載指定事項；之後要朗讀或讓受訊問人閱覽，並在需要時附記更正，最後由受訊問人簽名、蓋章或按指印。

懲戒法庭審理案件時，應依職權自行調查，也可以囑託法院或其他機關調查。

懲戒法庭在審理案件時，必要時可以向有關機關調閱卷宗，並請其提供必要說明。

懲戒法庭審理案件原則上要公開開庭；若有妨害國家安全，或當事人聲請不公開且經許可，則不在此限。

移送機關在第一審判決前可以撤回全部或一部案件；已經進行言詞辯論的，撤回需取得被付懲戒人同意。

懲戒法庭原則上應先行言詞辯論後再作成判決，但在事證明確或應作不受懲戒、免議、或不受理判決時，不受此限。

審判長在必要時，可以指定受命法官先行準備程序。

受命法官在進行準備程序時，相關關於懲戒法庭或審判長權限的條文準用。

言詞辯論期日先朗讀案由；之後依序由移送機關陳述移送要旨、被付懲戒人答辯，審判長調查證據並安排就事實及法律辯論，最後再詢問被付懲戒人有無陳述。

In certain serious disciplinary cases, the disciplinary court may suspend the disciplined person from office and must notify the person’s supervising authority. The supervising authority may also suspend its own public servant ex officio in similar serious-risk cases. An appeal may be taken from the first-instance order.

If needed, oral argument may be reopened before judgment is announced.

書記官在言詞辯論期日應製作言詞辯論筆錄，並記載指定事項及其他程序。

If a party fails to appear at oral argument without a valid reason, the case may be decided by one-side argument on request by the appearing party, or after renewed notice if the absent party still does not appear.

If any listed condition applies, the disciplinary court must dismiss the application and extend the argument date.

If a party appears on the hearing date and refuses to argue, the case may be decided without hearing that party, at the other party’s request.

If the person being disciplined has an Article 2 circumstance and discipline is necessary, a disciplinary judgment must be made; otherwise, a judgment of no discipline must be made.

In a disciplinary case, a no-disposition judgment must be made if any one of three conditions applies: the same act already has a final disciplinary-court judgment, a final deprivation of public rights exists and no disciplinary sanction is needed, or the Article 20 disciplinary-enforcement period has expired.

懲戒案件如符合列舉情形，法院應判決不受理；若情形可以補正，審判長應先定期間命其補正。

判決可公告；經言詞辯論的判決應宣示，宣示期日原則上不得超過辯論終結後三星期，但案情繁雜或特殊情形除外。

判決書原則上要分別記載主文、事實、理由及適用法條；但不受懲戒、免議及不受理的判決，可以不記載事實。

Suspended public officials’ official acts during the suspension have no legal effect.

判決原本通常應在判決宣示後當日交付書記官；如果是在辯論終結當日宣示判決，則應在5日內交付。書記官並應在判決原本上記明收領日期並簽名。

書記官要在收領判決書原本後十日內，將判決書正本送達相關人員並通知銓敘部及主管機關；主管機關還要將第一項判決書送登公報或以其他適當方式公開。

A judgment becomes final when the appeal period ends, unless a lawful appeal is filed during that period.

裁定原則上應宣示；當事人明示不到場或未到場時，改以公告代之。終結訴訟的裁定應公告，且部分條文準用於裁定。

不服懲戒法庭第一審終局判決的當事人，可以在判決送達後20日內向第二審提起上訴；判決宣示或公告後、送達前提出的上訴也有效。

當事人在懲戒法庭第一審判決宣示、公告或送達後，可以放棄上訴權；放棄時要用書狀向原懲戒法庭提出，書記官並應儘速通知對方當事人。

對懲戒法庭第一審判決提起上訴，原則上不得為之；只有以判決違背法令為理由時，才可上訴。

提起上訴時，上訴人必須在上訴狀內寫明指定事項，並附上與上訴理由有關的必要證據。

If an appeal petition does not state the reasons, the appellant must file a statement of reasons with the original disciplinary court within 20 days after filing the appeal.

上訴不合法時，原懲戒法庭要依情況命補正或直接裁定駁回。

符合條件的停職公務員得申請復職；服務機關或其上級機關原則上應准其復職，並補發停職期間的本俸或相當給與。

上訴未被前條駁回時，原懲戒法庭要儘快把上訴狀送達被上訴人；被上訴人可在送達後15日內提出答辯狀；之後原懲戒法庭再把卷宗送交第二審。

被上訴人可在懲戒法庭第二審判決前提出答辯狀及追加書狀；上訴人也可提出追加的上訴理由書狀。

第二審遇到不合法的上訴，原則上應裁定駁回；如果可以補正，審判長應先定期間命補正。

懲戒法庭第二審在調查原判決是否違背法令時，不受上訴理由拘束。

懲戒法庭第二審作成判決，原則上應經言詞辯論；但如果第二審認為沒有必要，就不受此限制。

除別有規定外，懲戒法庭第二審應以第一審已確定的事實作為判決基礎，並得斟酌特定上訴理由所指的事實及言詞辯論中補充的資料。

懲戒法庭第二審在認為上訴無理由時，應作成駁回判決；即使原判決理由不當，但可由其他理由認為正當，也應認為上訴無理由。

If the second-instance disciplinary court finds the appeal well-founded, it must vacate the original judgment.

Except for the situation in Article 66(3), a first-instance disciplinary court judgment that violates the law but does not affect the outcome may not be annulled.

在廢棄原判決後，如果符合列舉情形之一，懲戒法庭第二審應自行對案件作出判決。

公務員在懲戒或審查程序結束前，不得資遣，也不得申請退休或退伍。監察院或主管機關辦理移送懲戒或送請審查時，應通知銓敘部或該管主管機關。

原判決被廢棄時，懲戒法庭第二審原則上應將案件發回第一審，並對第一審應調查的事項詳加指示；第一審則應以第二審關於廢棄理由的法律判斷作為判決基礎。

上訴人可在終局判決宣示或公告前撤回上訴。撤回通常要用書狀；在言詞辯論時可以口頭撤回。

A disciplinary court’s second-instance judgment becomes final when announced; if it is not announced, it becomes final when the main text is publicly posted.

Some first-instance disciplinary court rulings may be appealed, but only if no other rule prohibits the appeal.

懲戒法庭第二審裁定抗告；對該第二審裁定不得再抗告。

在列舉的特定事由下，原移送機關或受判決人可以對確定終局判決提起再審之訴；受判決人死亡後，其特定親屬也可為其利益提起。

提起再審之訴有不同起算點的期限限制，通常須在30日內提起；另有自判決確定起逾5年不得提起的限制，但部分理由不受該5年限制。

再審之訴原則上由原判決的懲戒法庭管轄；同一事件的第一、二審判決提起再審時，由第二審合併管轄；但就第二審判決、且依第八十五條第一項第五款至第八款事由聲明不服者，仍由懲戒法庭第一審管轄。

提起再審之訴時，應以訴狀載明指定事項，並附上確定判決繕本，向懲戒法院提出。

懲戒法庭受理再審之訴後，應將書狀繕本及附件送交原移送機關或受判決人，讓其在指定期間內提出意見書或答辯狀；但若訴不合法，則不適用。

This provision lists the disciplinary sanctions that may be imposed on civil servants.

懲戒法庭對再審之訴，依其是否不合法、無理由或有理由，分別以裁定或判決駁回，或廢棄原判決另為判決；明顯無再審理由時，得不經言詞辯論。

If the convicted person has died, a retrial case for that person’s benefit is decided without oral argument after the Examination Yuan or competent authority is notified and given a period to state its views; the same applies if the person dies before the retrial judgment.

If a retrial is brought for the benefit of the person judged, the new disciplinary judgment may not be harsher than the original one.

再審之訴在懲戒法庭判決前可以撤回；經撤回或經判決後，不得再以同一事由提起再審之訴。

提起再審之訴，不會停止懲戒處分的執行。

A final ruling may be the basis for a retrial request if Article 85(1) applies.

這條規定了懲戒處分判決何時生效，以及未履行金錢給付時如何執行。

懲戒處分判決要求金錢給付的案件，原則上自生效日起五年內未執行的，不再執行；已在五年內開始執行的，可以繼續執行。

司法院會同行政院、考試院制定公務員懲戒判決執行辦法。

Administrative litigation provisions apply to disciplinary cases unless this Act says otherwise and only so far as they do not conflict with the nature of those cases.
