The Appellate Division in 2011 approved for publication the lengthy opinion that Judge Happas drafted and entered in 2008. Judge Happas granted defendants’ motions for summary judgment in a claim by a consumer who contracted breast cancer from hormone replacement therapy regimen. All three drugs were approved by the FDA, two to treat menopausal symptoms and for prevention of osteoporosis, and one for the treatment of uterine bleeding due to hormone imbalance. Plaintiff had sued the drug manufacturer asserting claims of failure to warn under Products Liability Act (PLA), violations of Consumer Fraud Act, and common law claims of fraudulent and negligent misrepresentation. In a decision later viewed favorably by the Appellate Division in the

Judge Englert states “Individual is not necessarily acting as an individual when he produces documents.” “Ultimately, it is the United States Supreme Court, as the final interpreter of the Constitution, that gives meaning to these rights and determines their boundaries.” (Cross 106) The Fifth Amendment does not protect partnerships or corporations. If this were a sole proprietor, they cannot be compelled to produce their business records.
Judge Dee is a magistrate for the Chinese Province of Ching-Ping and he used many methods and techniques to solve his cases. He also had significant influence on the society. Judge Dee mainly utilized two methods to solve his cases, and they were using disguises and torture. He first used disguises in the case “The Double Murder at Dawn” to try to find any suspicious man or women that might look like he or she has been in a conflict instead; he finds the beginnings of the second case “The Strange Corpse.” This is always a simple way to get information because if he appeared as a magistrate, people will be unwilling to dispense the information needed. So if he dresses up like a doctor like he did at the beginning, people would be willing to
Relators brought a qui tam action on behalf of the United States and various states against Solvay Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“SPI”) and its affiliates pursuant to the False Claims Act. Relators alleged that SPI had marketed drugs for conditions other than the conditions for which the drugs were approved by the FDA and offered kickbacks to physicians who prescribed these drugs. Relators moved for summary judgment on a number of SPI’s affirmative defenses,
The Plaintiff (Rector) likely has a strong argument that she should survive summary judgment because there is a question of material fact on product identification. Courts have consistently held that a brand name drug manufacturer cannot be held liable for injuries caused by a generic form of the drug they produce. In re Darvocet, Darvon, and Propoxyphene Products Liability Litig., 756 F.3d 917, 940 (6th Cir. 2014). However, if plaintiffs claim they took the brand name drug itself, then courts have tended to apply a low standard for product identification.

The California Court of Appeals’ decision in Coleman v. Medtronic has made it easier for plaintiffs to pursue medical products liability claims. In the landmark 2014 decision, the court held that the state law tort claims asserted by the plaintiff were not federally preempted. The decision is part of a growing body of medical products liability law regarding the circumstances under which a state law claim can impose "parallel" requirements to those under the Food, Drug & Cosmetics Act (FDCA) and, therefore, avoid federal preemption.
Before many writers even thought of writing detective novels the Chinese were known for creating these works of literature explaining the cases of important magistrates. One of the most famed or popular of these judges was judge Dee. Judge Dee lived in the seventeenth century AD. This book was written during the eighteenth century by a person well versed in Chinese legal code. In this story there are three crimes that get solved. The three cases that get solved are the case of the strange corpse, the case of the double murder at dawn, and the case of the poisoned bride. When reading this story the double murder was the simplest to grasp, an argument that arose between two traveling silk merchants that quickly turns into a fight ultimately leading
Defendants base their Section 2-619 motion to dismiss on Section 2-201 and 2-109 of the Tort Immunity Act, which immunizes public employees from liability where the injury claimed is the result of a "discretionary policy determination."Hascall v. Williams, 2013 IL App (4th) 121131, ¶ 23. A "determination of policy" are those decisions that require the governmental entity or employee to balance competing interests and to make a judgment call as to what solutions will best serve each of those interests. Id. However, although the Defendants may have made a discretionary policy determination, Illinois courts have held that public entities still have a duty to maintain public property in a reasonably safe condition for intended and permitted users.
The Stare decisis was implemented as a doctrine in 1066 that served as a legal principle to recognize previous decisions as precedents to guide future deliberations. It is a type of principle that forms the basis for our modern law of adhering to precedent and makes the predictability in the law. The court means that the stare decisis standing by decided matters and the jurisdiction over them making it harder to argue a policy. Ultimately, a case that was decided on before could potentially end up being overturned. I believe that consistency is important when applying stare decisis with the decision of each case on individually basis. For example, there are several of cases that were consistent with parameters of the doctrine of stare decisis.
The fear of medical malpractice lawsuits is an issue faced by all who practice medicine. To avoid public criticism by colleagues or the public from their profession and sometimes lose their ability to practice, physicians, and doctors feel forced to follow published standards of care. These treatments often include prescribing medications made to treat
The Supreme Court considered whether plaintiff’s lawsuit against the marketers of Accutane was barred by the two-year statute of limitations. Suit was filed about nine years after plaintiff was first prescribed the acne drug as a twelve-year-old. The prescribing doctor did not mention the risk of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) because he was not aware of it. When the FDA approved Accutane years before, it did not require a warning of possible gastrointestinal side effects such as IBD. Although the brochure plaintiff was provided warned to be on the alert for stomach pain, diarrhea and rectal bleeding, plaintiff did not experience any gastrointestinal side effects during the initial or subsequent times she used the drug. However, about seven
The testimony of Owens stating she was aware of the risks that the plaintiff experienced and that this was not included in the warning labels of the product.
The Court has struggled to define the distinction, if any, between generic and branded drugs in terms of state tort liability and failure to warn claims. In Wyeth v. Levine, the Court decided that the FDA’s drug labeling requirements for brand drugs do not preempt state tort claims related to the dissemination of safety information. In essence, brand name manufacturers will be held liable for failure to update their warning labels in an effective and efficient manner. Just two short years later, the Court contradicts its decision in Wyeth, and defines a distinction for generic drug products, which applies federal preemption principles in Pliva v. Mensing. Finally, in Mutual Pharamceutical v. Bartlett, the Court effectively barred generic failure to warn, and defective design claims in state courts.
