Document Summary
Pharmaceutical society of great britain v boots cash chemists (southern) ltd. On april 13, 1951, two customers took drugs from a shelf in pharmacy, put it in their basket and paid at the cash register at the exit. The pharmacist station was near the poisons section so they were able to oversee all transactions but the pharmacist took no part in the transaction. The pharmaceutical society, as the organization responsible for enforcing provisions of the pharmacy and poisons act, 1933, brought this action as a test case against this type of retailing. At the lower court they found this type of retailing was not in contravention of the act and the society appealed. Boots cash chemists introduced a new method of purchasing drugs from their store- the drugs would be on display, shoppers would pick them from the shelves, and pay for them at the till. The pharmaceutical society of great britain objected to this method, claiming that.
