DECISION OF THE TRIBUNAL
This appeal was scheduled to be heard in Guelph Ontario on January 5, 1998. Jarvis Chicks Sales Inc. appealed to the Farm Products Appeal Tribunal (the Tribunal) with respect to the amount of the penalties imposed by the Ontario Broiler Hatching Egg & Chick Commission (the Commission)upon Jarvis Chicks Sales Inc. for violation of Regulation E-7, 1994 of O.B.H.E.C.C. and the Order of the Commission dated April 30, 1997.
Preliminary Matters
At the beginning of the hearing Mr. Peel told the Tribunal that this was a matter that was an appeal; not a complaint about the administration but an appeal for mercy on the penalty. The problem was a failure to make payments on time. He said that, with the courteous and professional approach of Mr. Truddell and the O.B.H.E.C.C. they have a negotiated solution to the problem, and therefore the appellant is withdrawing the appeal.
The Tribunal complimented the parties in reaching a settlement of the issue and accepted the withdrawal of the appeal.
Dated at Guelph, Ontario this 5th day of January, 1998.
