Goldshield reaches settlement with Scottish Government

Goldshield — one of the generic medicine suppliers accused of illegal price fixing — has reached a settlement with the Scottish Government. A similar agreement was reached with the English Department of Health last year (PJ, 30 June 2007, p758).

Goldshield has agreed to pay £750,000 in compensation on a full and final basis and with no admission of liability. Part of the deal includes a promise to co-operate with the Scottish Government in continuing claims against a number of other companies.
