Warner-Lambert v Actavis: lessons from ‘the case of the year’

On September 10, 2015 Mr Justice Arnold gave his judgment in the Lyrica (pregabalin) case at the English High Court. UK legal commentators have described this dispute between Warner-Lambert (Pfizer) and Actavis and Mylan as ‘the case of the year’. The litigation has already spawned five previous judgments, mainly interim skirmishes between Warner-Lambert and Actavis, but also a related application against NHS England.
