The claimant sought a review of the respondent’s failure to deal fairly with him by not making proper disclosure of information upon which it had relied in making a movement restriction notice as regarded the claimant’s herd of beef cattle. Trading Standards Officers had called at the farm and removed samples of what they suspected were inappropriate animal foodstuffs. They went on to make the order.
Held: The responses, far from being full, had been evasive. They had withheld evidence, failed to state the basis of their claim, and misrepresented the evidence. The statement was a ‘travesty of the truth’ The defendants had substantial loss but with no apparent means of financial redress.
