In the cases we are discussing, the person is breaking the law. This provision applies where a person has "imported, sold, supplied, moved or otherwise dealt with the farm animal, animal product, animal feed or other thing to which the application for compensation relates in contravention of an enactment to which paragraph (f) refers." In other words, where a person breaks the law, presumably to obtain compensation, the Minister has the power to refuse such compensation. A long appeals process is not required in such cases.
