Appeal of meat plant licence non-renewal dismissed due to repeated non-compliance and inspector intimidation.
The appellant appealed a Director's decision refusing to renew its licence to operate a meat plant.
The Tribunal found that the appellant routinely failed to comply with the Food Safety and Quality Act and regulations, compromising food safety and risk management.
The appellant's operator also obstructed, intimidated, and threatened Ministry meat inspectors.
Concluding that the appellant lacked the necessary understanding, skilled personnel, and financial resources to operate in compliance with the legislation, the Tribunal dismissed the appeal and upheld the refusal to renew the licence.
