Judges Park Jong-ho
1) As seen in the part concerning Defendant 1’s violation of the Medical Service Act, Article 17(1) of the Medical Service Act provides that, as seen in the part concerning Defendant 1’s violation of the charges, no doctor or doctor who directly conducted a medical examination shall prepare a prescription and deliver it to the patient. As such, in this case, it is reasonable to view that Defendant 1 received all the amount delivered to Defendant 1 for the cost of issuing a prescription issued without a direct medical examination upon Defendant 2’s request from the patient and received it as compensation for the relevant prescription (see Supreme Court Decision 2006Do755, Nov. 13, 200
2) Article 24(2) of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act provides for the duty of prohibiting the act of collusion between a pharmacy founder and a medical institution founder. In light of the content and purport (referring to the act of collusion) of the above provision, it is reasonable to interpret that if a pharmacy founder and a medical institution founder commit an act falling under any of the five types of collusions, both a pharmacy founder and a medical institution founder may be punished on the basis of the same provision (see, e.g., Daejeon District Court Decision 2001Da3509, supra).
