Questão jurídica principal
Whether doctors cooperating with Zur Rose AG needed a private-pharmacy permit for the model
Decisão extraída
The model was not lawful for non-authorized doctors; if apothecary-specific functions are transferred to the doctor, a detail-trade permit is required under federal law and the model is otherwise incompatible with the permit regime.
Fundamentação extraída
The court held that in the challenged setup the doctor was not merely a logistical helper. Depending on how the model is understood, the doctor either performs part of the dispensing or is paid for tasks already within his own professional duties. In either case, the model breaks the separation between prescribing and dispensing.
