Written answers

Release is a dangerous product for use by veterinary practitioners only and appropriately authorised officers may lawfully seize this product in circumstances provided for under the law.

Records of all seizures are not readily available but I can confirm that Court proceedings were initiated in one case as a result of a seizure made in 2018.
