OCULIST AND OPTICIAN IN CLOSE SPATIAL BOND (OGH 17.07.2014, 4 OB 34/14Z)

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2014

If an optician runs his business in a close spatial bond with an oculist there is no obstruction with the freedom of choice of patients.  There is no enticing away of customers since the oculist’s patients can freely go to other optician shops. The close spatial bond between the oculist and an optician does not represent any advertisement for the oculist but if the employees of the oculist refer to the optician for any further medical advice there is a contravention of advertisement.
