Commercial Claim / Final Judgment

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Legality of importing and selling hand sanitiser products under UK Human Medicines Regulations 2012
  2. 2 Whether the contract was induced by actionable misrepresentation
  3. 3 Whether rescission or damages in lieu should be ordered

Ratio Decidendi

The products sold were not medicinal products under HMR 2012; thus, their sale was not illegal and no actionable misrepresentation or breach of implied terms occurred. Claimant's losses resulted from market collapse, not regulatory prohibition. Even if misrepresentation or breach were established, rescission would not be permitted due to risk of unjust enrichment; damages would be limited to actual loss, which was not proven.

Court Disposition

Claim dismissed
