Defending action brought by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA)

The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulate the Supply, Importation, Exportation, Manufacturing and Advertising of Therapeutic Goods. Therapeutic Goods can comprise a broad range of things, such as medicines – prescription and non-prescription, herbal remedies, medicinal cannabis and supplements.

The TGA are tasked as the Commonwealth regulatory authority to enforce the Therapeutic Goods Act 1989 and its associated regulation.

As research into Therapeutic Goods is ever evolving the TGA regularly amended the governing regulations which can cause confusion as to what the current restrictions are surrounding Therapeutic Goods. It is critical to ensure that anyone who deals with Therapeutic Goods is aware of the restrictions imposed by the TGA.

This year, Baybridge achieved an exceptional result for our client and their company who faced charges initiated by the TGA related to the Advertising, Export, Manufacturing, and Supply of Therapeutic Goods.

At Bayridge we achieved:

1. Significant Charge Reduction:

• We successfully negotiated the withdrawal and dismissal of over half of the charges against our client

2. Strategic Jurisdictional Management:

• Prevented the matter from being escalated to a higher court, where penalties would have been more severe.
• Successfully resolved the case in a lower jurisdiction, ensuring a more favourable outcome.

3. Expert Legal Submissions:

• Made substantial submissions to the court, clearly explaining the intricacies of Commonwealth legislation.
• Effectively demonstrated how these laws should be construed and applied in a NSW court.

4. Optimal Client Outcome:

• Our client did not spend any time in custody allowing our client to resume their life without further delay.

We have extensive experience in protecting client’s interest and reputations during complex, high profile criminal proceedings against regulatory agencies.
