I am just saying to be careful what you wish for in legislation because there will be days where a farmer, for his or her own reason, will not be able to attend an appeal. I have concerns in that regard. I would like there to be two attempts made to have a meeting go ahead without the concerned parties being present. I have attended a lot of appeals and have received telephone calls from farmers who have told me that they cannot make a meeting in the morning for whatever reason.
