Sweet v Parsley

Sweet v Parsley was an English legal case where the defendant was found guilty of allowing her property to be used for smoking cannabis. Even though she had no knowledge of the offence, it was on her property so she was liable without fault. This conviction was later quashed by the House of Lords on the grounds that knowledge of the use of the premises was essential to the offence. Since she had no such knowledge, she did not commit the offence.
