Hsinchu Mayor Gao Hongan was suspended after the first instance due to his involvement in the case of fraudulently claiming assistant fees. Today (2nd) the High Court judge announced that the case would be suspended because the provisions of the "Legislative Yuan Organic Law" may be unconstitutional and asked the justices to interpret the constitution. In response to the High Court's ruling, Gao Hong'an affirmed the collegial panel's perspective and emphasized again that there was no corruption and that she should be cleared as soon as possible.

Lawyer Liu Yiling from Fidelity Law Firm said that the High Court judge believed that the provisions of the Legislative Yuan Organic Law regarding publicly funded assistants were not very clear, resulting in unclear responsibilities and authority of publicly funded assistants, and whether they could be financed with public funds, which led to this There are endless disputes about assistant fees, so it is considered necessary to first request an interpretation of the Constitution and let the justices interpret this part, and then the High Court will conduct a trial based on the results of the interpretation. The trial of such disputes has been suspended until the results of the interpretation of the constitution are announced. Previously, such cases have occurred among public opinion representatives at other levels. Gao Hongan's case is the first of its kind among legislators.
