On May 10, 2019, EJE LAW secured a Supreme Court victory in an administrative lawsuit seeking the revocation of a bid participation restriction. The central issue in the case was whether the restriction fell within the scope of a Presidential Pardon Decree issued by the government

EJE LAW identified that similar presidential pardon decrees had been repeatedly issued in the past, and that the industry in question had previously been included under such pardons. However, due to the enactment of a new law, the industry had subsequently been excluded. Based on this analysis, EJE LAW argued that the current pardon decree should also be interpreted to include the industry, and the court accepted this reasoning.

This case is particularly meaningful as there are very few precedents concerning the interpretation of presidential pardon decrees. It stands out as a rare example in which the court recognized that the effect of a pardon could extend—by interpretation—to industries not explicitly listed in the decree.
