🦡🦡 Ready, Sett, Stop: lessons from a doomed prosecution under the Protection of Badgers Act 1992 🦡🦡. As we celebrated National Badger Day 🦡🦡🦡 yesterday (October 6th), Carolina Cabral has written a timely article about the recent High Court ruling in R (DPP) v Northampton Magistrates Court [2024] EWHC 2324 (Admin). The ruling highlights the importance of thorough evidence gathering in wildlife cases and the pitfalls of moving forward without expert testimony. Carolina delves into the stringent criteria for awarding costs under s.19 of the Prosecution of Offences Act, emphasising how evidentiary gaps can impact prosecution outcomes and cost orders. It’s an interesting piece examining the intersection of wildlife law and judicial decision-making, and serves as a reminder of the legal protections in place for these iconic creatures.

Generally, an HOA can limit the type of pet or breed allowed in the community by modifying its Rules and regulations and having these filed with the covenant documents at the county real property records. The procedure for amending or modifying HOA rules is dictated by either the initial CCRs or Rules that founded the HOA. Most of the time, the amendment will require a majority of homeowners. Service animals, as defined by Federal law or rules, that are not Emotional Support Animals, are not considered pets and therefore the restriction would generally not apply. The more successful limitations involve prohibition against generally known "dangerous breeds" that can be looked up on the Internet. Not all homeowners will agree with these restrictions, but the HOA can consider a grandfather clause that allows current animals before a certain date before the restriction takes place. Should you be an HOA or Property Owners Assocation considering a rule amendment to restrict certain breed types or pets, call the Sprigg-Novak Law Firm for a consultation: 214-216-1667.
