"The citizen has his rights and should not need to thank anyone for any concession. Once anyone had a right to a permit, that permit should be issued, and if he does not have a right, it should should not, but in all cases the issue is a matter of rights not favours," -

Wise words. Let us ALL keep this in mind ALWAYS

Until now I have been shopping at Collis Williams, but after their comments I am not sure whether I will again.

Everyone knew that Chemimart lost their premises at City Gate and should have been allowed to extend their temporary licence indefinitely.

Finally a fair conclusion.

Good thing the superintendent wasn't fined otherwise we, the tax payers would have ended up paying it!What happens now besides the 'strongly worded judgement?!'

In the light of this sentence, the SuperIntendentfor Public Health should resign immediately.

"denial of a licence was abusive and illegal"

therefore one would have expected Mr Justice Lino Farrugia Sacco to take legal action against the Superintendent of Public Health, no?

When are we going to stop all these cartels?

Why should the granting of a pharmacy licence be different from other type of businesses?

There should never be special favours and treatments for any kind of business permits.

Why should I be controlled if I wanted to open and operate a pharmacy but for other types of businesses I am not?

I thought that we are living in a FREE MARKET; or are we?

SO WHAT REPURCUSSIONS WILL THE Superintendent of Public Health SUFFER? HE/SHE CLEARLY ACTED ILLEGALY!

The court found that

‘’Such action on the part of the Superintendent of Public Health was arbitrary and in open contempt of the laws and orders of the Court’’.

How can a Civil Servant justify not obeying a Court Order ?

Now, if we really believe in the competition and the rules of the market, the next step would be to remove the obstacles that prevent new pharmacies from opining.

Pharmacies are not charities and they should be treated just like any other shopping outlet.

The obvious actions to be taken are: -

1. Replace the Superintendent of Public Health - who does this?
2. The police Charge the Superintendent of Public Health - with corruption (abuse of office).
3. We wait 10 years for the case to come before a magistrate.
