In 2017, Ron Salter, and his waste fuel collection business, Salters Cartage Ltd, were convicted for a series of breaches of the Health and Safety in Employment Act 1992 and the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996.  

It is not often that a person is sentenced to prison for breaching the Resource Management Act.  It is even more infrequent that such convictions are overturned on appeal.
