217.206.184.76: Can we agree on these amends: £2000 is not backed by the reference you provided, suggest deletion. Dhaliwal is case law and should be referenced in a balanced way (if the author insists on adding this irrelevant case). Academic research: ref added.

It pays volunteers participating in trials, attracting students and backpackers.<ref name="Metro">{{cite news | url=http://metro.co.uk/2012/04/27/is-2000-enough-to-be-a-drug-guinea-pig-404446/ | title=Is £2,000 enough to be a drug guinea pig? | work=Metro | date=April 27, 2012 | accessdate=July 8, 2015}}</ref>

In May 2015 it controversially instigated a [[judicial review]] to prevent implementation of rules implemented by the UK [[Health Research Authority]] (HRA) in April 2015.<ref name="Guardian">{{cite news | url=http://www.theguardian.com/business/2015/may/18/drug-trials-firm-to-challenge-plans-for-greater-transparency-over-results | title=Drug trials firm to challenge plans for greater transparency over results | work=The Guardian | date=May 18, 2015 | accessdate=July 8, 2015}}</ref> The new rules mandated that all drug companies and CROs in the UK register all clinical trials before the first participant is recruited, declare who sponsored the study, and publish the outcome of studies, not only for future trials, but for trials already approved and underway; these rules were supported by advocates for more transparency in clinical research, like [[AllTrials]].<ref name="Pharmafile">{{cite web | url=http://www.pharmafile.com/news/396422/pharma-firm-seeks-judicial-review-against-transparency | title=Pharma firm seeks judicial review against transparency | publisher=Pharmafile | work=May 21, 2015 | accessdate=July 8, 2015}}</ref> Richmond's action protested the application of the requirements to trials that were already underway, and the HRA's description of the requirement as being based in law.<ref name=BMJnews2015-08>Clare Dyer for BMJ News. 03 August 2015.

In ''Richmond Pharmacology v. Dhaliwal'', a precedent in employment law,<ref name="Bailii">{{cite news | url=http://www.bailii.org/uk/cases/UKEAT/2009/0458_08_1202.html | title=[2009] ICR 724, [2009] IRLR 336, [2009] UKEAT 0458_08_1202 | work=Bailii | date=February 12, 2009 | accessdate=July 8, 2015}}</ref> Richmond appealed against an employment tribunal ruling over remarks made by a manager to a former employee that were seen as derogatory and based on her ethnicity and gender. Ms. Dhaliwal won the case. "The EAT noted that the size of the award (£1000 for injury to feelings) reflected the borderline nature of the case".<ref name="Thompsons">{{cite news | url=http://www.thompsons.law.co.uk/ltext/lelr-weekly-109-definitely-harassment.htm | title=Definitely harassment | work=Thompson's Law | date=March 26, 2009 | accessdate=July 8, 2015}}</ref>
