The pharmacist or company must own the pharmacy of which he is the proprietor.
A pharmacist or company may own or co-own only one dispensary.
Pharmacists are authorised to form a general partnership between themselves for the purpose of operating a pharmacy.
Pharmacists are also authorised to form a limited liability company, either individually or between themselves, with a view to operating a pharmacy, provided that this company owns only one pharmacy, regardless of the number of pharmacists associated, and that the pharmacy is managed by one or more of the associated pharmacists.
Managers and members are liable to third parties within the limits set out in articles L. 223-1 and L. 223-22 of the French Commercial Code.
There is no limit to the tort and quasi tort liability of the managing partners, who must be insured against all professional risks.
All associate pharmacists are bound by the obligations of article L. 4221-1. Consequently, as all their qualifications are registered for the operation of the pharmacy, they may not engage in any other pharmaceutical activity, with the exception of that of volunteer fire-fighter pharmacist.
