    On 5th January 2013, the first maritime administrative case tried by this Court, since the jurisdiction over maritime administrative cases has been reinstated to this Court, was pronounced. This Court rendered a judgment to revoke the illegal act of a municipal governmental on the ground that the Decision on Revoking the Certificate of the Right of Exploitation of certain Sea Areas issued by the Defendant of the subject case lacked legal grounds and thereby falls into the category of illegal specific administrative action. The Defendant of the subject case, the municipal government, refused to appear in court without justifiable reasons after being subpoenaed by this Court according to law. This is the first maritime administrative case pronounced by this Court where the local government lost the action.
