GIURISPRUDENZA
United
States Federal Circuit, 11/02/2012
Hibbard
v. Sec'y of Health & Human Services, No. 12-5007
In plaintiff's suit for compensation under the
National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act (Act) for her neurological disorder
allegedly caused by a flu vaccination, the judgment of the Court of Federal
Claims in favor of the defendants is affirmed where: 1) the special master's
finding is based on evidence in the record that is not wholly implausible, and
the special master has articulated a rational basis for his decision; and 2)
because a finding of autonomic neuropathy is critical to plaintiff's theory of
causation, the special master's finding on this issue is fatal to her petition
for compensation under the Act.

Holmes
v. Merck & Co., Inc., No. 08-16557
In a wrongful death action against a
manufacturer and distributor of a vaccine, arising out of the death of
plaintiffs' infant son, the district court's grant of defendant's motion for
summary judgment is affirmed where: 1) there is no cause to disturb the
district court's application of section 22 of the National Childhood Vaccine
Injury Compensation Act to plaintiffs' state law product liability claims of
design defect and failure to warn; and 2) the district court did not err in
granting summary judgment in favor of the defendant, as defendant produced
evidence that it had complied with all regulatory requirements related to the
vaccine.

Lee
v. Bd. of Registered Nursing, No. A132197
The trial court's denial of a petition for a
writ of administrative mandate seeking to overturn the revocation of
petitioner's nursing license is affirmed where all that is relevant in this
matter is that the petitioner did not comply with the order of the Board of
Registered Nursing to submit to a mental fitness examination.

EDUCATION LAW,
GOVERNMENT LAW, HEALTH LAW, CIVIL PROCEDURE, CONSTITUTIONAL LAW
Brennan
Ctr. for Justice at New York Univ. Sch. of Law v. U.S. Dept. of Justice, No.
11-4599
In plaintiff's Freedom of Information Act
lawsuit against the Department of Justice (DOJ), the United States Department
of Health and Human Services (HHS), and the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID), seeking release of memoranda prepared by the
DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC), pertaining to defendants' policy regarding
the constitutionality of enforcing an anti-prostitution pledge requirement
against U.S. NGOs receiving federal grants pursuant to the Leadership Against
HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria Act (Leadership Act), the judgment of the
district court is affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded where: 1)
the district court properly ordered the disclosure of the February memoranda;
2) the district court erred in ordering disclosure of the July memoranda
because there is sufficient evidence that removed deliberative-process
protection; and 3) the references to the February memorandum that served to
remove the deliberative-process privilege also constitute waiver of the attorney-client
privilege.
United States First Circuit, 09/07/2012
Gonzalez-Maldonado
v. MMM Healthcare, Inc., No. 11-1880
In a physicians' suit against HMOs, alleging
constitutional and antitrust claims, arising from their cancellation of
contracts for refusing to accept capitation payments rather than
fee-for-service payments, district court's grant of defendants' motion to
dismiss is affirmed where: 1) because the defendants are not governmental
actors, plaintiffs' constitutional claims necessarily fail; and 2) because
defendants are wholly owned subsidiaries of the same parent company, and not
independent firms, defendants cannot violate Sherman Act section 1's conspiracy
prohibition.
United States Third Circuit, 09/13/2012
Nichole
Med. Equipment & Supply, Inc. v. Tricenturion, Inc., No. 11-2132
In a medical equipment supplier's suit against a
contractor auditor for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), arising from a
dispute from an audit in which the auditor determined that plaintiff
"might" be improperly billing Medicare for medical equipment, the
judgment of the district court is affirmed where: 1) the district court properly
determined that it was without subject matter jurisdiction to entertain
plaintiff's state law claims, because without a final agency decision on
plaintiff's claims the district court lacks jurisdiction to review this action;
and 2) the defendants are immune from suit as officers or employees of the
Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services because plaintiff's
claims arise under the Medicare Act.
United States Fourth Circuit, 09/11/2012
Morgan
.v Sebelius, No. 10-2270
In a physician's appeal of the decision of the
Secretary of the United States Department of Health and Human Services
excluding him for five years from participating in Medicare, Medicaid, and all
other federally sponsored health care programs pursuant to the applicable terms
of 42 U.S.C. section 1320a-7(a)(3), after pleading guilty for obtaining free
hydrocodone samples from pharmaceutical representatives for his personal use by
leading the representatives to believe that he would be giving the samples to
his patients for medical purposes, district court's dismissal of the appeal is
affirmed where: 1) section 1320a-7(a)(3) is not limited to offenses relating to
financial misconduct; and 2) regardless of whether the district court correctly
concluded that the statute unambiguously does not require that any fraud relate
to financial misconduct ir order to warrant the mandatory five-year exclusion,
the Secretary's construction was a permissible one to which the court must defer.
United States Ninth Circuit, 09/11/2012
McCormack
v. Hiedeman, No. 11-36010
In plaintiff's class action lawsuit against a
prosecuting attorney for filing a felony criminal complaint against her with
the public offense of Unlawful Abortion, Idaho Code section 18-606, which makes
it a felony for any woman to undergo an abortion in a manner not authorized by
statute, the district court's grant of a preliminary injunction restraining the
prosecuting attorney from enforcing the Code is affirmed in part, reversed in
part and remanded where: 1) the district court did not abuse its discretion in
determining that plaintiff would likely succeed with her facial constitutional
challenges to Idaho Code sections 18-606 and 18-608(1); 2) the district court
abused its discretion in crafting an overbroad preliminary injunction, as it
should be limited to enforcement of the applicable code sections against the
plaintiff only; 3) the district court erred in not enjoining the enforcement of
the section 18-606 in conjunction with both sections 18-608(1) and 18-608(2);
and 4) plaintiff does not have standing to seek pre-enforcement prospective
relief against the enforcement of the Pin-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
United States Ninth Circuit, 09/11/2012
Palomar
Med. Ctr. Sebelius, No. 10-56529
In a Medicare provider's appeal of a
determination, through the operation of the congressionally mandated Recovery
Audit Contractor (RAC) program, that it was liable to repay the government for
services later determined not to be medically reasonable and necessary, the
district court's grant of summary judgment for the Secretary, holding that the
regulations bar appeals for reopenings, is affirmed, as Congress has set the
stage by establishing the RAC program aimed at recouping excessive Medicare
payments and stated expressly that reopenings were to be permitted under
guidelines set by the Secretary in regulations. Here, the Secretary, by her
regulations made explicit that there would be no appeal of a reopening
decision, and that such a decision was "final."

Formazione certificata
GRI sulla rendicontazione di sostenibilità: ultime novità. Lo scorso luglio, è stato siglato il rinnovo della convenzione tra
FONDACA ed il Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) sul programma di formazione
certificato dall’organizzazione olandese. Pertanto, nel prossimo biennio,
FONDACA continuerà a collaborare alla diffusione del framework GRI sulla
rendicontazione di sostenibilità al livello nazionale, attraverso
l’implementazione di moduli formativi destinati ad un pubblico multistakeholder
(imprese pubbliche e private, organizzazioni della società civile, università
ed enti di ricerca, istituzioni pubbliche ed amministrazioni locali). Inoltre,
la Fondazione sta lavorando ad un arricchimento dell’offerta formativa
attraverso l’inserimento a catalogo di nuovi corsi, oltre al modulo base
incentrato sul processo di rendicontazione di sostenibilità come definito dal
GRI. Sarà pubblicato a breve il calendario con la descrizione dei corsi e le
prossime date utili. Per ulteriori informazioni contattare la dott.ssa Laura
