Search litigation on the Judicial Yuan judgment system by company name; check the procurement blacklist on the government e-procurement “refused dealings” list; also check labor-violation and environmental-penalty lists. All public and free.
The judgment system holds rulings from all court levels — but judgments must not be aggregated into an identifiable individual’s record (PDPA).
Being listed as a “refused-dealings” vendor signals serious performance failure or violation — an important negative signal.
The Ministry of Labor publishes wage/overtime/safety violators; the Ministry of Environment publishes penalties — worth checking before contracting.
On the Judicial Yuan judgment search, enter the full company name in the full-text field, then narrow by date range and case category (civil / criminal / administrative). If the company was renamed, search the old name too: judgments before the rename use the name at the time.
Look up a company in Company DD and four checks run automatically: government tender count, procurement blacklist (refused dealings), Ministry of Environment penalties and Ministry of Labor penalties. The blacklist and environmental penalties match by unified business number; tenders and labor penalties match by company name, so same-name false positives are possible and “no match” does not mean clean. Lawsuits are not pulled automatically, only linked to the official search (PDPA).
Open Company DD →Yes, but for verification only — do not aggregate into identifiable individuals.
Lawsuit counts are not automatic. Four checks are: government tender count, procurement blacklist (refused dealings), Ministry of Environment penalties, and Ministry of Labor penalties. The procurement blacklist and environmental penalties match precisely by unified business number; tenders and labor penalties match by company name (tenders try both the 臺 and 台 spellings), so same-name false positives are possible and “no match” does not mean clean. Court judgments stay a one-click official link — automatic aggregation would be inappropriate under the PDPA.
