Request for review of milk quota assessment decision denied; translation services at hearing found adequate.
The applicant requested a review of a Tribunal decision that denied an exemption from a 15% transfer assessment on the sale of its milk quota.
The applicant argued that the original hearing was not bilingual as requested, the translation services were inadequate, and the Panel failed to consider important factors.
The Vice Chair found that the applicant had agreed to consecutive translation, waived the right to full translation at the hearing, and that any translation errors were not material to the decision.
The request for review was denied.
