3.

(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Brucellosis Control Order (Northern Ireland) 2004 (“the principal Order”) which, inter alia, prescribes the amount of compensation payable for bovine animals which are slaughtered or caused to be slaughtered by the Department because they are reactors when tested for brucellosis or have been exposed to the possibility of infection with the disease.
Before this Order came into operation the compensation payable was —
(a)in the case of a reactor an amount equal to 75% of either—
(i)the animal’s market value, or
(ii)a figure calculated in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1 of the principal Order,
whichever is the less;
(b)in every other case, an amount equal to the animal’s market value.
All animals slaughtered in accordance with the principal Order where a notice requiring the slaughter of the animal, served pursuant to Article 15(2) of that Order, was served on or after 1st September 2012 will now be compensated for at the lesser of an amount equal to 75% of either (a) the animal’s market value, or (b) a figure calculated in accordance with the provisions of Schedule 1 of the principal Order for the month in which the market value of the animal was assessed by the Department.
All animals slaughtered in accordance with the principal Order where a notice requiring the slaughter of the animal, served pursuant to Article 15(2) of that Order, was served before 1st September 2012 will continue to be compensated for under the former arrangements.
This Order also provides that the amount of compensation payable by the Department in respect of any animal shall be reduced by any amount payable as compensation for the loss of that animal (howsoever that loss is expressed) under a contract of insurance.
