I am not in a position to comment in detail about this case other than to say that, in making payment, my Department was obliged to comply with the terms of a Court Order obtained by a third party.

The person concerned is an applicant under the Single Payment and Disadvantaged Area Schemes.

In order to meet EU requirements, the application concerned was one of a number which was selected for inspection. As this process had not been completed in sufficient time, it was not possible to include the person concerned with the initial tranche of DAS payments on 26 September. As soon as the inspection and related processes are completed, the application concerned will be progressed.
