Article 32-4Request for Acceptance of an Appeal

①If a ruling is made as prescribed in Article 22-2, paragraph (1), a public prosecutor may file a request for acceptance of an appeal which may be filed with the high court within two weeks regarding the ruling to impose or not to impose the disposition for rehabilitation of an adjudicated delinquent by the court of second instance, only if the appeal is based on a violation of laws and regulations that affect the ruling, or if a serious inaccuracy of facts is found concerning the fact finding on the delinquent act, for the case that the ruling prescribed in that paragraph is given.

②The request pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph (referred to as "request for acceptance of an appeal" below) must be filed by a written request to the court of prior instance. In this case, the court of prior instance must promptly transfer it to a high court.

③When a request for acceptance of an appeal is filed, the high court may accept it if it finds it appropriate to accept the case as the court of second instance. In this case, the high court must give a ruling to that effect.

④When making the ruling prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the high court may eliminate any of the reasons from the reasons stated in the request for acceptance of an appeal, if the court finds it unimportant.

⑥When the ruling prescribed in paragraph (3) is made, it is deemed that an appeal has been filed. In this case, to apply the provisions of Article 32-2, the reasons for the request for acceptance of an appeal, excluding those eliminated pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (4), are deemed as the reasons for the appeal.
