Where a statutory defence requires that the defendant could not with reasonable diligence have discovered non‑registration, and where a public‑health regulatory scheme and accessible official information exist, the defendant must take positive steps to verify registration; the Appellant failed to show she took such steps and therefore did not discharge the burden under Regulation 36(1C).
