The defendants appealed against their convictions of placing on the market a medicinal product without holding an EC or UK marketing authorisation contrary to paragraph 1 of Schedule 3 to the 1994 Regulations. They said that they had not intended the sale of the products with the EEA.
Held: The appeals succeeded. The Regulations could not be read or intended to apply to sales to end users outside the EEA.
