LAWFUEL – The Legal News Network – David Anderson, QC, of Brick Court Chambers, appeared for the Hindu monks at the Skanda Vale community in Carmarthenshire, in the judicial review that resulted in the quashing of the decision to slaughter the bullock Shambo that had tested positive for bovine TB.
He successfully argued that sufficient weight had not been given to the animal’s religious importance or to the possibility that it might be isolated, treated and cured. Last Monday the Court of Appeal overturned the reprieve and the bull faces slaughter once again.
