What reporting is required to transfer a construction business?

Our company currently intends to transfer the construction business license it holds to another corporation. In this case, may we proceed as with any other transfer of business?

I am curious about the level of punishment for violating the External Audit Act and how to respond.

I have been reported for a violation of the External Audit Act, and I am now facing trial. So I searched on Naver, but only the statutes were listed in plain text, so I could not really tell what the level of punishment would be..

I was unfairly dismissed; can I file a lawsuit for nullity of dismissal?

Hello. While working at a small and medium-sized company for the fifth year, I recently received a sudden dismissal notice from the company on the ground of 'poor work performance.' I received the notice unilaterally, without any separate warning or disciplinary procedure, so I feel deeply wronged. I heard that I can file an application for remedy against unfair dismissal with the labor office, and people around me said that there is also a way to separately file a 'lawsuit for nullity of dismissal.' I would like to know how the two procedures differ and what outcome I can obtain by filing a lawsuit for nullity of dismissal.

What is the copyright protection period?

During his lifetime, my father was active as a novelist and wrote several works. However, with my father's passing one year ago, I am looking into the copyright of the remaining novels and the issue of succeeding to those rights. My father's works are still being sold by publishers, so I would like to know whether our family can assert the copyright holder's rights over these works and how long the copyright protection period is maintained. If copyright is protected even after my father's death, I would also be grateful if you could explain how those rights should be legally exercised.
