Korean Medical Association’s collective cessation of work case

Representation of Korean Medical Association ("KMA"), the central representative body of over 100,000 Korean physicians, in an appeal of the KFTC’s finding that the collective cessation of work by KMA members in protest against government policies was a violation of Korea’s competition law. Despite there being Supreme Court precedents to the contrary, Lee & Ko’s legal and in-house economic analysis teams were able to completely overturn the KFTC's decision in the Seoul High Court, arguing that the Noerr-Pennington doctrine is applicable to the collective cessation.
