The extraordinary appeal system provides a wide range of topics in academic research, such as system-level reviews of the subjects, objects, procedures, authority and systems, practical analysis of its efficacy, feasibility and judicial resources, the boundary between the re-examination or the comparison with other nations’ systems. From the perspective of Control Yuan’s exercise of powers, the paper discusses control power’s role, boundary and feasibility in the extraordinary appeal system based on a review of regulations, theories and case studies. It also presents the current situation and problems from empirical data analysis. The purpose of the study is to affirm the efficacy, effect and feasibility with respect to the exercise of control power in the extraordinary appeal system and therefore propose suggestions to improve the system and its effectiveness. The study explores the efficacy, effect and controversy regarding the control power’s exercise in the extraordinary appeal system by looking into the investigative approaches, characteristics of the cases, reasons against the law and conclusive judgements of the cases, which were sent by the Control Yuan to the Prosecutor General from 2009 to 2018 for filing extraordinary appeals. The study includes six chapters. The first chapter introduces the motivation, purpose, approach, methodology and limitations of the study. It also includes definitions of relevant terms, reviews on separation of powers and related domestic literature. The third chapter explores the handling of the cases that were sent from the Control Yuan, using the data to present the characteristics of the cases and follow-up results of the Prosecutors Offices or Supreme Court. The fourth chapter discusses the efficacy and effect of control power’s exercise in the extraordinary appeal system. The fifth chapter identifies a number of practical issues raised from the cases that were sent by the Control Yuan. The final chapter concludes with the findings of the study and provides suggestions for further research based on the current situation and practical issues mentioned in previous chapters.
