ZZainb8y ago
Hi sir, Ye is 31/12/14 the company has asked the bank to make cash of $2 million available in the event that an existing court case against the company is successful. The court case is being brought by an individual who suffered severe and debilitating side effects when participating in a clinical trial in 2013. 1) should we recognize provision of contingent liab? (clarify the reason within the context). 2) In clinical trial people voluntarily try the medicine so for testing if it ok or have side effects Do they have a right to claime a compensation if it has sude effects? Thanks
