BASC has settled a claim for a judicial review with the government over Defra’s decision to alter the general licence (GL43) that allowed the release of gamebirds in certain areas of England.
The association was granted permission by the High Court to bring a judicial review of Defra’s decision in December last year. BASC’s Fighting Fund was used to support the challenge.
The claim has now been settled following a commitment by Defra to a programme of meetings and constructive dialogue to ensure the sector’s voice is heard in future.
In addition, Defra announced this week that a new general licence will be issued to allow the release of gamebirds on the vast majority of Special Protection Areas without any delayed release dates.
