Death not ‘adverse effect’
Regina (British Union for the Abolition of Vivisection) v Secretary of State for the Home Department
Queen’s Bench Division
“The death of an animal used in a regulated procedure for scientific experimentation was not an adverse effect which needed to be taken into account when deciding whether to grant a licence for such experiments. Rather, the statutory scheme governing such licences was concerned with the pain and suffering which animals might experience before death.”
