The Agriculture Appeals Office has confirmed that an appeal was received from the person concerned on 8 September 2015. An Oral Hearing took place on 15 December 2015. The Appeals Officer notified the appellant of the outcome of his appeal in a comprehensive decision letter that issued on 21 January 2016.
A request for review was received by the Agriculture Appeals Office on behalf of the person concerned on 7 June 2016. A comprehensive review of the case has been undertaken to determine if the additional information submitted with the review request has any bearing on the Appeals Officer's decision or if there was an error in fact or in law. This involved an assessment of any legal issues arising as well as seeking my Department's views on the additional information submitted. I am advised that the review is now completed and that a decision letter is to issue in the next two weeks.
