The Korean Supreme Court recently announced certain changes to the rules of civil procedure, which are significant in that they establish for the first time clear formatting rules applicable to all civil case briefs filed in Korea on or after August 1, 2016 in civil cases (including in pending cases). The rules now limit all briefs (except for complaints initiating new legal actions and answers) to no more than 30 pages (corresponding to about 18-22 pages of English text), as well as specifying, for example, the paper size, margins, and font sizes to be used in all briefs, and courts may order that any submitted briefs that do not conform to these new rules be corrected and re-submitted. The new rules are intended to increase the efficiency of Korean litigation and encourage parties to present their arguments as concisely as possible.
