The person named made an application to my Department for permission to temporarily lease her entire quota for the 2004-05 milk quota year. Permission to lease the entire quota can be granted only where the applicant is unable to deliver milk due to force majeure or in other duly justified cases which temporarily affect production capacity. Based on the information provided, the application in question was not successful. The application was reconsidered on appeal but, unfortunately, there were no grounds on which to reverse the decision.
