Supreme Court Unanimously Resolves FDA’s ‘Standing’ Issue: FDA Today Exclusive

In a recent Supreme Court decision, it was unanimously ruled that The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine and the doctors it represented did not have adequate proof of standing to sue the FDA. The lower courts had previously allowed the lawsuit to proceed based on a theory that not prescribing mifepristone or treating patients who had taken it had caused economic harms to the doctors. This decision offers relief to the FDA from the prospect of endless litigation.
