The land in question has public path r8 threw it. I was seen about 50 yards off. Is it worth getting solicitor or stand my self? First time up in court for hunting related

always use a solicitor mate

They don't even have a case against you by the sound of it, your just being accused of hunting hares whilst staying off a footpath getting your dog back which had no signs saying dogs must be kept on a lead and you haven't been caught poaching and coursing right?

And as said regarding the solicitors..

Get yourself a good solicitor, it can be the difference between the cnuts throwing the book at you or a smack on the wrist. 

Best of luck with what ever you decide to do.

Were you arrested? Did you make any statement under caution?  As said get help from a solicitor who specialise in hunting law.

I can only speak from a past incident before these silly hunting laws were introduced as i stood in court and said my dog killing this hare was an accident wile walking on a public footpath though it went against me because i had previouse but only got a 30 pound fine. Like others have said its best to get legal representation in the current climate my excuse in your case would be you went to retrieve your dog when it slipped its collar and ran off the public footpath if you have no previouse its a plausable excuse and don't forget solicitors cost money as i doubt you would get legal aid.

Its a wile since i was last in court i remember when i were summonsed to appear at Gainsbrough magistrates and the duty solicitor standing up for me he could not believe i was up in court for ferreting on a disused air field when in his words their was scum in the same court for robbing pensioners and burglary he also said i am suprised the springer spaniel is not up with you i was happy with the 25 pound fine. lol
