Freedom Camping Act 2011

Enforcement, miscellaneous, and transitional provisions - Offences, defences, and penalties - Defences to offences

21: Strict liability offences

You could also call this:

“This section about special types of rule-breaking in camping has been removed from the law”

The law used to have a section called ‘Strict liability offences’ under the Freedom Camping Act 2011. This section was part of the ‘Defences to offences’ provisions. However, as of 7 June 2023, this section no longer exists. It was removed by another law called the Self-contained Motor Vehicles Legislation Act 2023. This means that the rules about strict liability offences that were once part of the Freedom Camping Act are no longer in effect.
