Facts of the Case

Background

The accused was charged with violating section 28(4)(d) of the Animal Health Act by acting contrary to the conditions of an animal movement permit. He was convicted and sentenced to a fine and forfeiture of his animals. The High Court found that the permit requirement itself was invalid as no regulations existed for goats and sheep, and that the forfeiture order was incompetent.
