Legal Proceedings - Clean-up

In 2012, Judge Jenkins had found Hoser intentionally allowed two snakes to bite his daughter 7 times, and compromised both the safety of the audience and the welfare of the snakes during his demonstration.^[1] In March 2012, Jenkins upheld an appeal by Hoser of the DSE actions against him, fining Hoser $4,000 under the Wildlife Safety Act and ordering Hoser to pay the costs of the DSE of $8,000.^[2] Jenkins had found that "through his demeanour and evidence, displayed a contempt and reckless disregard for the licence conditions. He has conducted his demonstrations in a manner which seriously compromises the welfare of the snakes he is displaying and the safety and well-being of audience members, including children and, on one occasion, his own daughter."^[2] In March 2013, Justice Robert Redlich of the Victoria Court of Appeal recommended that Hoser hire a lawyer to represent him rather than representing himself, and adjourned the hearing until 13 June 2013.^[1]^[3] In May 2013, Hoser appealed to the Victoria Court of Appeal in an attempt to overturn the Department of Sustainability and Environment's (DSE) decision to cancel his wildlife demonstrators licence and Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (VCAT) deputy president Judge Pamela Jenkins's decision in 2012 to uphold that DSE cancellation of his license.^[1]^[3]

The above section needs to be cleaned up. I tried to clean it up a little by putting it into chronological order, but I don't understand the Australian justice system enough to know what can be cut. The last sentence of this paragraph is especially wordy and I don't understand how it is different from the previous sentence re his appeal to VCAT. Also, I think I found the resolution of the court case. This is what I added:

In 2015, VCAT member Gerard Butcher cleared Hoser to resume demonstrations for schoolchildren.^[4]

I suggest other editors of the article try to be more succinct when summarizing sources. 24.217.247.41 (talk) 08:20, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
