A Note on Inspector of Pharmacy Premises v The Proprietor and the Presentation Limb

A case note from the School of Continuous Improvement on a divided appeal decision holding that a pharmacy's stock of an unregistered barrier cream, shelved behind the dispensing counter under a strip naming a skin condition, was a medicinal product by presentation, while the same jar beside the till was not. The note accepts the majority's point-of-sale test but reads its ratio narrowly: the condition named on the strip did the presenting, and placement behind the counter alone would present nothing.
