Victor Green agreed to this, and the exhibition stands were erected. After the exhibition, Victor Green paid only £4,500. B&S sued for the remaining £4,500.

What are pharmacy owners’ options if under economic duress by locums?

29 Mar 2022

• By David Reissner

Inspired by a tweet, David Reissner considers what pharmacy owners can do if they find themselves held under economic duress by locums
