Reasons
We examine the grounds of appeal.
1. In full view of the relevant provisions under Article 9(1) and (2) of the Medical Service Act, Article 4(1), (2), and (3) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, and Article 1(2) and (3) of the Enforcement Decree of the same Act, the authority to conduct the national examination for dentists shall be the president of the National Health Center. Therefore, the authority to issue a disposition on passing the examination shall be deemed to
Therefore, the decision of the court below is justified in rejecting the plaintiffs' lawsuit against the defendant of this case against the Minister of Health and Welfare, since it is not a disposition agency, since the defendant's lawsuit against the defendant of this case against the Minister of Health and Welfare is not a disposition agency, and there is no error of law such as the theory of lawsuit in the decision of the court below. We do not agree with the reasoning.
2. The court below held that the successful dentist's national examination is a prerequisite for obtaining a dentist's license, but it does not change the legal status of a person who passed the national examination in addition to satisfying the requirements for obtaining the above license by passing the national examination. Thus, the plaintiffs who passed the national examination newly conducted after the failure disposition in this case did not have any legal interest to seek cancellation of the above failure disposition. In light of the provisions of related Acts and subordinate statutes, the judgment of the court below is just and acceptable, and it is not erroneous in the misapprehension of legal principles such as the theory of lawsuit.
Therefore, all appeals are dismissed, and the costs of appeal are assessed against the losing party. It is so decided as per Disposition by the assent of all participating Justices on the bench.
