LIVESTOCK ACT 1997 - SECT 51

51—Appeal against Chief Inspector's determination of claim

        (1)         The claimant may, within 21 days after receiving notice of the Chief Inspector's determination, appeal to the Minister against the determination of the amount of compensation payable for particular livestock or property (but not against a determination that no compensation or a reduced amount of compensation is payable as a result of a conviction for an offence).

        (2)         If an appeal is not instituted within the time allowed, the claimant's entitlement to compensation is finally determined for the purposes of this Part.

        (3)         On receiving an appeal under this section, the Minister must establish a panel to hear and determine the appeal.

        (4)         The panel is to consist of—

            (a)         a person nominated by the Chief Executive of the administrative unit responsible for administration of this Part; and

            (b)         a person who, in the opinion of the Minister, has experience or qualifications relevant to valuation of the type of property subject to the appeal; and

            (c)         a person who, in the opinion of the Minister, has experience or qualifications relevant to the sector of the livestock industry affected by the outbreak or suspected outbreak of exotic disease.

        (5)         A decision of the majority of the members of the panel is a decision of the panel.

        (6)         On an appeal, the panel may affirm or quash the determination appealed against or substitute a determination that the panel thinks appropriate.

        (7)         A decision of the panel is final and not subject to review and a determination of the Chief Inspector is not subject to review other than by way of appeal under this section.
