The person named submitted one application under the 2004 Special Beef Premium Scheme dated 31 December 2004 in respect of thirty-eight animals. Following initial processing, it was found that ten of the animals were non-CMMS compliant, in that they were not recorded as being in the herd of the person named on the date of application, as required under the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme. By letter dated 6 April 2005, the person named was advised of this non compliance and the regulatory penalty to which it would give rise vis the animals in question would be rejected from the application and not paid premium. The person named was also advised of his right to appeal this decision. In the absence of such an appeal, the application was processed for payment and the regulatory penalty, a deduction of 36.36%, applied. The payment issued to the person named on 31 March 2005. In common with other Livestock Premia Schemes, 2004 was the final year of the Special Beef Premium Scheme, with the introduction of the Single Payment Scheme on 1 January 2005.
