Join us as we unpack the captivating case of the Massey Ram. Michael Mulligan from Mulligan Defence Lawyers sheds light on how hunters can find themselves in hot water under the Wildlife Act and why counting horn annuli is not as straightforward as it seems. We unravel the complexities of distinguishing between criminal and strict liability offences and explore the intriguing defence of due diligence using relatable examples like speeding.
