No case for zero tolerance - Marsh vs Baxter

摘要

On Tuesday 10 September, the WA Court of Appeals handed down its decision in the Marsh vs Baxter case, in which an organic farmer sued his genetically modified (GM) crop growing neighbour for allegedly contaminating the organic farm, which resulted in a loss of organic certification and therefore a substantial amount of income. By a two to one majority, the Appeals Court judges supported the decision of the original judge, and dismissed all the claims made by the organic farmer.
