Throughout articulation amongst case law and legislation for both invitation to treat and advertisement will illustrate whether the brochure forms part of the contract between Sunshine Coast Hill-Tonne Pty Ltd and its potential buyers. To demonstrate the relationship between these two factors, cases such as; Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britian v Boots Cash Chemists (Southern) Ltd [1953] 1 QB 401 and Carlill v Carbolic Smoke Ball Co [1893] 1 QB 256 will discuss invitation to treat and advertisement respectfully to support the discussion. Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemists (Southern) Ltd [1953] demonstrates case law concerning invitation to treat, this case identifies a key element which is being that an offer is not an invitation to treat. In this case, it was said that Boots Cashier Chemist was prosecuted and breached legislation where it is required that all …show more content…
The courts held that the information throughout Gilletes campaign conducted unfair comparisons thus also conduction misleading behaviour (Pocock, 2016). To compare this case with Sunshine Coast Hill-Tonne Pty Ltd, it can be concluded that with the brochure stating, “you won’t get a better deal in Queensland” demonstrates an unfair comparison, who is to say that shortly after the completion of Sunshine Coast Hill-Tonne Pty Ltd a long-standing and far more credible developer using better quality materials may begin construction? Hence, this comparison may demonstrate a potential misrepresentation. Henjo Investment Pty Ltd & Ors v Collins Marrickville Pty Ltd (1988) 79 ALR

and yet simple of the act, which severely impacts pharmacy and is forbidden by the PDMA, is the act of knowingly trading, purchasing, or knowingly selling a prescription drug sample. This offense is punishable for a fine of up to two hundred and fifty- thousand dollars, and up to ten years of imprisonment. Many pharmacists do not realize is that there is a fee of up to one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars for the individuals who provide information leading to the conviction of a violator of the PDMA. Another important portion of this vast law is that it prohibits pharmacists to resale of any prescription drug that was previously purchased by hospitals or any other health care facility. The provision was intended to eliminate a major source of drugs in the diversion market such as; drugs that were originally purchased by hospitals or health care facilities at substantially discounted prices, as allowed by the Nonprofit Institutions Act of 1938, and then resold to the retail class of trade. Congress believed that the resale of such drugs created an unfair for of competition. Re...

The representative wanted to talk about the benefits of using a particular drug for seizures. In our Pharmacy Health Care and Behavior course, this is known as the traditional method of marketing to providers. Drug companies use marketing strategies toward health care providers to promote their drugs, which influences how patients are prescribed medications. The drug representative went on to discuss giving clients a coupon for the drug. This coupon would allow the clients to receive a one month supply of the drug. There were some concerns that my pharmacist had with the use of the coupons. One concern was with what would happen to clients when they are unable to afford a refill and in Pharmacy Health Care and Behavior, one of the factors dealing with a client being prescribed a medication is price. Another concern was the fact that the process for using the coupons was inconvenient for the pharmacy itself. In the end, my pharmacist did not believe it to be beneficial for the clients or pharmacy to use the coupons.
This action is contradictory to statutes which consist of rigid statements and therefore cannot be used in conjunction with other areas of law. For example, in Fisher v Bell (1961) “…where principles developed in the law of contract were used in criminal case” (OU, 2014, unit 4b), the offence fell under the Restriction of Offensive Weapons Act 1959, however the definitions of an offer and an invitation to treat have been applied to find an appropriate outcome. Furthermore this illustrates, that even the criminal law, generally based on the legislature, can built on common law principles. (OU, 2014, unit
Has anyone noticed that there seems to be a drugstore being built on every corner these days? Revco, Walgreens, and Rite Aid seem to be just a few of the drug store chains that are expanding. One has to wonder if this has anything to do with the possibility of including medicine under coverage by healthcare systems. This means that they may become part of a capitated payment system to the pharmaceutical providers. "By capitation, we mean a prospective payment to physicians or providers - either individually or as a group - of a fixed amount of money to care for each patient (Pearson, 1998)." In other words, every physician is provided a set sum of money whether they see any patients or not and every pharmacy would be given money whether they prescribe any drugs or not. Drug costs will rise.
Marketers operating in the drug industry have to push their products which then raises the ethical questions that surround the profession of medical delivery. Pharmaceutical companies disburse billions of dollars annually to research, develop, and market drugs. Every pharmacy company needs the endorsement of their drugs from physicians and doctors, so they have to ensure that the doctors are well treated. According to the Pew Charitable Trust, the pharmaceutical corporation spent over $27 billion on advertising alone in 2012, with $24 billion of that dedicated to marketing to physicians. (Kessel, 2014) A further survey conducted by Deloitte shows that 35% of the doctors accept some gratuity payment from the pharmacy companies and 16% of the doctors take money to represent the pharmacy company in conferences and health camps. (Kessel, 2014) The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education declares that pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies funded almost one-third of continuing medical education (CME) opportunities for doctors in 2011.( (Barnett, 1989)

We live in a world where being medicated has become a societal norm. Modern health care practices have set the stage for the proliferation of direct-to-consumer advertising (DTCA) of prescription drugs by pharmaceutical manufacturers. Some of these practices include the emergence of managed care organizations (MCOs), the legalization of DTCA of prescription drugs, the emergence of the Internet as an alternative promotional channel, the increased desire by patients to become more involved in their own health care decisions, the disillusionment with traditional medicine, and the rise of ‘alternative’ medicine, to name a few. There is an ongoing debate as to the ultimate harm or benefit of this relatively recent practice of pharmaceutical manufacturers to direct their promotional efforts away from the physician and towards the consumer.
From the large billboards on the highway to the commercials that interrupt our favorite shows, advertisements are all around us. These works of capitalism try to persuade the viewer to try a certain product, stay at a certain hotel, or buy any of the wide variety of goods and services available to them. These types of ads are common in every country; however, there is one product whose advertisements can only be shown legally in the United States and New Zealand: prescription medicine (Tyler). Prescription medication ads, also called direct-to-consumer ads, advertise to the public and lead to misinformation and over-prescription. Some say that these ads have to be legal because they notify patients about potential treatment options, but this simply is not true. For the previous reasons, I believe that the United States should ban direct-to-consumer drug advertisements.
When speaking to a paramedic, Randy Morris, he was describing the problems in our society that have arose because of drug advertisements. He said, “People are starting to self-diagnose their problems. The patients go into the doctor's office feeling like they are smarter than the doctor, because they think they already found a solution to their problem” (Morris). Martha Rosenberg said, “...Thanks to TV drug ads, patients tell doctors what is wrong with them and what pill they need, coupon in hand. Drug company-funded web sites even give patients talking points to use when they see the doctor, lest they don't ring up a sale. Selling prescription drugs like soap makes a mockery of a medical school education” (“Should Prescription Drugs…”). Prescription drugs are easy to obtain if you respond to the doctor’s questions with the right

Gregg is a prime example where perspectives have clashed concerning loss of chance. The 3:2 majority saw no legal acknowledgement of loss of chance but the judgements voiced concern of the legitimacy of the balance of probabilities. Lord Nicholls highlights the arbitrary nature of the 50% barrier restricting eligibility of claimants who had suffered as a result of medical negligence holding favour to patients having “a right to a remedy as much where his prospects of recovery were less than 50-50 as where they exceeded 50-50 ”. A moral consideration but arguments of policy considerations blocks concepts like this. Growing concern for the immunity held by professions saw developments in the law, however the loss of chance is yet to be clarified. The diverse nature of medicine and the hypothetical aspect of evidence relied upon means no one formula will ever be adequate for determining the duty owed and the extent on liability. This is all dependent on the individual traits of the case and the consequences which may be provoked from the judgements. Policy concerns restrict the liability of these professions to protect general interest and prevent ri...
