Animal Welfare
Jeremy has very extensive experience in animal welfare and wildlife prosecutions.
He was junior in the widely reported prosecution brought by the RSPCA of the Heythrop Hunt, the first successful prosecution of a mounted fox hunt where convictions were obtained against the hunt itself, a corporation and several members of the hunt. He has since been instructed in a number of prosecutions under the Hunting Act 2004 and related prosecutions on behalf of the RSPCA and other charities.
More recently, in wildlife crime, he conducted the multi handed prosecution against several defendants (see press report here) and related appeals.
