Regina v Ministry of Agriculture Fisheries and Food ex parte Lower Burytown Farms Limited and National Farmers Union and others: Admn 1 Aug 1995

The applicants were farmers who had claimed payments under the set-aside scheme. Payment was refused on the basis that they had claimed too much, but payment was ordered to be made after a ruling in Europe. They now sought judicial review of a refusal to pay interest on the payments withheld. The claims were wrong, but not fraudulent. Interest was payable if the sum claimed was owed as a debt.
Held: The sums would not have been claimable by writ, and orders for review were granted.
