Reasons
The grounds of appeal are examined (to the extent of supplement in case of supplemental appellate briefs not timely filed).
1. As to Defendant A’s violation of the Medical Service Act, considering the legislative purport of Articles 6 subparag. 3 and 30(2)1 of the former Medical Service Act (amended by Act No. 8366 of Apr. 11, 2007; hereinafter the same) that allows the establishment of only one medical institution, in a case where a doctor who already established and operated a medical institution in his/her own name employs another doctor, and directly opens another medical institution in his/her own name and directly provides medical services at the medical institution, the case is limited to the case where a doctor who already established and operated the medical institution, employs another doctor, and directly provides medical services at the medical institution.
