Regulatory Offences
The plethora of regulations and rules that farmers and landowners must now comply with, has meant that we as a Rural team have seen the number of prosecutions brought by local authorities and enforcement bodies increase dramatically.
JCP has a wealth of experience in dealing with regulatory criminal matters, and understands that being faced with the prospect of a prosecution is very stressful. We attempt to remove some of that anxiety from the process. We can advise and assist clients with their cases in the following areas:
- Animal welfare prosecutions
- Health and safety
- Food safety
- Fraud
- Environmental protection
- Breach of animal movement regulations including cattle passports
- Breach of animal transportation regulations
- Issues arising from non-registration of livestock
- Breach of animal by-product regulations
- Prosecutions for animal neglect and cruelty
- Managing Wild Animals
- Markets
- Slaughter of Animals
- Smokies
