footpaths hunting and the law

[BULL 74]

found some ideal ground of the beaten track with legal footpaths covered with hare whilst walking one dog off the lead through the designated path what if hare went up and dog accidently coursed it and caught it would there be a defence if this occured in front of a wittness, just a thought

[Chid 6,384]

Road Traffic Act 1988

This makes it an offence to have a dog on a designated road without the dog being held on a lead.

is a footpath classed as a road

[Chid 6,384]

in other words if the footpath is an old road like one used for green laning you could get done

the law on common land does state no motor vehicles only horse drawn vehicles and carriages.

as for the right of way .

 

but what it should also say is all dogs must be kept on leads except working dogs,

an old law i think
