Judge Tsai decided that while medical service is not a product per se, it is intimately connected to public health and safety. The stated intent of the law she applied is to "protect consumer rights and interests, promote consumer safety, and raise the quality of life for domestic consumers." On this basis, the judge decided that the law also applied to medical care.
承審法官蔡惠如認為，醫療服務雖不屬於商品買賣，但攸關國民生活衛生、健康及安全，而消保法的立法目的即為「保護消費者權益，促進國民消費生活安全，提昇國民消費生活品質」，所以可列入消保法規範之中。
