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​
