This summary judgement will allow us to collect this\n \n $9.8M\n \n , which will dramatically strengthen our balance sheet. MediPharm now has many customers across multiple channels and our accounts receivable are healthy. The collection of this cash will significantly improve MediPharm's cash position and give us flexibility to consider M&A opportunities.\"\n \n \n \n About MediPharm Labs\n...
