The Salmon Hardship Scheme provides that in all cases an independent appeals procedure will apply in respect of decisions of the administrative authority, BIM. Applicants who are unsuccessful may appeal the decision of BIM by submitting an appeal in writing to the Independent Appeals Officer. A number of nominees for the position and the detailed modalities are under consideration at present and should be finalised in the immediate future.
