The person named was one of the joint registered herd-owners along with two others when the debt arose on their 2010 Single Payment Scheme application, following the imposition of a penalty as a result of a Cross Compliance farm inspection. Each of the registered herd owners in 2010 is, therefore, liable for share of the total debt in their own right. My Department will now make arrangements for recovery of the debt from each of the parties.
