Question juridique clé
Whether the conviction for feeding self-produced hemp to livestock under the Foodstuffs and Agriculture Acts should be set aside
Solution extraite
The appeal could not succeed on the merits against the 2008 conviction; the challenged legal basis for the ban was accepted and the court did not reopen the guilt finding.
Motifs extraits
The federal court held itself bound by its prior judgment confirming that the hemp-feeding prohibition was lawfully based on the delegation norms and that the defendant had knowingly produced and fed hemp to his own livestock; the complaint did not show a federal-law violation.
