Petition of Right in Drag v Crown over Wheat Marketing Act
Mir Justice Burnside ruled on a petition from March 4 1917 detailing that the petitioner sold to the Government bags of wheat under the Wheat Marketing Act 1016 and delivered to a government agent. The Crown claimed the crops were proceeds of farmer advances and charged to the Crown. distress for rent March 12 1917 led to seizure and sale under the Act. The judge held the petitioner entitled to certificates, found the farmer not eligible for assistance, and that the seizure occurred before the Amending Act, which did not retroactively affect lawful preexisting actions. The Crown’s postponement provisions did not bar the landlord’s right of distress, and the petitioner’s election to distrain entitled him to certificates. Costs awarded to the petitioner.
