Legal Considerations • Admissions Against Interest • Speculation• Strict Liability
– The Park Doctrine: • The Park Doctrine is based on a 1975 U.S. Supreme Court case
affirming FDA’s right to bring a criminal misdemeanor case against corporate executives based on a strict liability theory.
• A corporate official can be held criminally liable for violations of the FD&C Act even if the official did not intend for the violations to occur.
• NO ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE OR NEGLIGENCE REQUIRED• Complaint Management People, Process & Systems are Key!
