Study Notes
UK Legal System
- UK law is comprised of primary and secondary legislation.
- Primary legislation is created directly by Parliament through Acts of Parliament (statutes).
- It forms the fundamental legal framework in the UK.
- Acts of Parliament are difficult to change.
- Secondary legislation is law made by an individual or body under powers granted by an Act of Parliament.
- This is also known as delegated legislation.
- Secondary legislation is frequently used for detailed rules and administrative changes, and it is easier to amend.
- A bill is proposed in Parliament, then goes through multiple readings and stages in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords before it becomes law.
- Statutory Instruments (SIs) are a common type of secondary legislation, used for detailed rules or administrative changes .
- Secondary legislation allows for detailed issues to be delegated while Parliament focuses on broader principles.
- Parliament exercises oversight through tools like the affirmative procedure, requiring active approval by Parliament.
Judicial Precedent (Case Law)
- Judicial precedent, or case law, establishes legal standards or principles for future cases with similar facts.
- Courts must follow legal principles established by higher courts in previous similar cases.
- Decisions of higher courts bind lower courts in the hierarchy.
- Supreme Court decisions are binding on all other courts.
- Case law establishes principles that have been found to be valid through prior court decisions.
- Cases such as Bolam v Friern Hospital Management Committee (1957) are influential for professional negligence evaluation.
- This test assesses professional negligence in these cases.
- Cases, such as Montgomery v Lanarkshire Health Board (2015), highlight the duty of informing patients of potential risks.
Pharmacy Law
- Medicinal Products: Any substance used for treating, preventing, or diagnosing a disease or modifying physiological functions.
- Valid Marketing Authorization is required for medicinal products.
- Relevant medicinal products are regulated under the Human Medicines Regulations 2012 for safety, quality and efficacy
- Borderline substances have characteristics similar to medicines but are not regulated as such.
- Medicines Act 1968 and subsequent regulations, e.g Medicines Regulations 2012.
- Pharmaceutical law mandates the strict control of, the lawful use, sale, and supply of medicines.
- There are specific legal requirements for products based on classification (P, POM, GSL, and others)
- It involves the proper control and recording of these products throughout their entire life cycle.
