- High Court
Court held the common law right to compensation for deprivation of property was engaged by prohibition of certain ammunition but Parliament clearly and expressly excluded ammunition from the statutory compensation regime; the Order in Council defining prohibited ammunition was within the statutory power and lawful; the Minister's recommendation not to seek compensation was not a reviewable statutory decision; all claims dismissed.
