[Criminal] A case representing a defendant in a criminal complaint for violation of the Medical Technologist Act, leading to a decision of no indictment.

Law firm Veat successfully obtained a non-prosecution decision from the prosecutor’s office representing a defendant in a criminal complaint case for violation of the Medical Technologists Act.

According to Article 14, Paragraph 2 of the Medical Technologists Act, it is prohibited to arrange or introduce customers to a specific optical shop or optometrist for profit, and a fine of up to 5 million won may be imposed for violating this provision. The defendant (client) in this case operated an online company and was facing a criminal complaint for violation of Article 14, Paragraph 2 of the Medical Technologists Act.

Law firm Veat meticulously reviewed whether the defendant’s (client’s) sales activities constituted 'arrangement’ as referred to in the Medical Technologists Act, and submitted a legal opinion emphasizing that the client’s sales activities did not constitute an arrangement for a specific optical shop. Accordingly, the prosecutor’s office accepted Law firm Veat’s opinion and decided to issue a non-prosecution decision for the defendant (client).

Thank you.
