- High Court
Conviction appeal dismissed because appellant failed to challenge prosecution evidence at trial and the trial judge's factual and legal findings (ownership/occupier status, application of s38 presumption, and admission of hunting) stood; sentence appeal allowed because 300 hours community work was manifestly excessive on the facts compared with relevant precedent (Parnwell distinguished) and was reduced to 150 hours community work.
