Shownotes Transcript

Today we're taking a trip down strict liability lane with R v Sault Ste Marie. Before Karly takes you through the decision, Zach and Karly chat strict liability, due diligence as a defense, and how difficult it can be to wrap your brain around committing an offence when that wasn't your intention. A must listen for anyone interested in regulatory offences.
