Information requirements under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013—checklist

Information requirements under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013—checklist FORTHCOMING CHANGE: On 24 May 2024, the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Bill received Royal Assent, becoming the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 (DMCCA 2024) and coming partly into force on that date. DMCCA 2024, s 251 (which is not yet in force) will revoke the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 (CPUTR 2008), SI 2008/1277. Once revoked, the provisions presently contained in the CPUTR 2008 will be replaced by Part 4 of DMCCA 2024 (which largely replicates the requirements of the CPUTR 2008). The DMCCA 2024, Part 4, Chapter 2 (which is not yet in force) removes subscription contracts from the scope of the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, SI 2013/3134 (CCR 2013). This Checklist will be updated for these changes in due course. For further information on the DMCCA 2024, including a detailed comparison of the CPUTR 2008 and Part 4 of DMCCA 2024, see Practice Note:...

Marketing authorisations: EU decentralised procedure—flowchart

Marketing authorisations: EU decentralised procedure—flowchart No medicinal product may be placed on the market unless it has been approved. This Flowchart outlines the procedure for obtaining an approval known as a marketing authorisation (MA) through the EU decentralised procedure. The decentralised procedure is used to obtain MAs for medicinal products in more than one EU Member State in parallel. A medicine may only be authorised in individual Member States in parallel if it is not mandated to be authorised via the centralised procedure (ie products containing new active substances; products which constitute a significant therapeutic, scientific or technical innovation or products for which the granting of an EU authorisation would be in the interest of patients or animal health at EU level) and medicines that have not received an MA in any Member State already at the time a decentralised application is

Pharmaceutical trade marks and parallel imports

Pharmaceutical trade marks and parallel imports Pharmaceutical trade marks: regulation and naming procedures In most fields of business, trade mark owners have a relatively free hand in selecting the brands they use to market their goods or services. In general, where there is no risk of confusion on the part of the relevant consumer with an earlier brand, a trade mark will be free for use. This is not the case with respect to trade marks for pharmaceutical products, which are subject to an extra layer of regulation in order to protect public health. Pharmaceutical trade marks can only be put into commercial use once they have been granted a marketing authorisation (MA). In determining whether to grant an MA, the competent authorities will decide whether the trade mark poses a risk to public health. This decision is not reached through a classical trade mark infringement assessment, but instead centres on the potential for medication errors which could lead to serious health risks. The various considerations...

What is the definition of a monograph under Regulation 251 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012?

What is the definition of a monograph under Regulation 251 of the Human Medicines Regulations 2012? Please note that monographs also exist for herbal medicinal products (ie herbal monographs) which are not specifically referenced as considered outside the scope of this reply (and our content). Regulation 251 of the Human Medicines Regulations (HMRs 2012), SI 2012/1916 deals with medicinal product compliance with standards ‘specified in certain publications’.

Would a gel that contains hydrogen peroxide and is designed to be used subgingival and interproximal to control the pathogens that cause gum disease for the treatment of gum disease be considered as a medical device or a medicinal product?

Would a gel that contains hydrogen peroxide and is designed to be used subgingival and interproximal to control the pathogens that cause gum disease for the treatment of gum disease be considered as a medical device or a medicinal product? Summary The following facts would support the conclusion that a gel that contains hydrogen peroxide and is designed to be used subgingival and interproximal to control the pathogens that cause gum disease for the treatment of gum disease is a medicinal product, as opposed to a medical device: • the product is presented as having a medical claim, namely treatment of gum disease • a judgment of the Court of Justice held that Directive 2001/83/EC (consolidated version 26.07.2019), the Pharmaceutical Code must be interpreted as meaning that, for a substance to be regarded as exerting a ‘pharmacological action’ within the meaning of that provision, it is not necessary for there to be an interaction between the molecules of which it consists and a cellular constituent of the user’s...
