Annotations

JUDICIAL DECISIONS Department regulations governing free-standing emergency care clinics violated First Amendment rights of plaintiff physicians since the regulations were more extensive than necessary to serve the governmental interest of prohibiting misleading advertising and were im-

permissibly vague in providing that facilities which used such terms as ‘‘emergency,’’ ‘‘crisis,’’ ‘‘sudden,’’ ‘‘acute’’ or a similar meaning term fell within the regulatory ambit. Primary Care Physicians Group v. Ledbetter, 634 F. Supp. 78 (N.D. Ga. 1986).
