The British Wool Marketing Scheme (Approval) Order 1950

PART IX MISCELLANEOUS

89.  For the purpose of this Scheme the sale of any product wholly or partly manufactured or derived from wool shall be deemed to be a sale of wool if the substance of the transaction between the seller and the buyer is that the seller, being in possession of wool, agrees to subject it, or cause it to be subjected, to some process and to sell the resulting product to the buyer.

90.  Any producer who is aggrieved by any act or omission of the Board may refer the matter to the arbitration of a single arbitrator to be agreed upon between him and the Board, or in default of agreement, to be appointed by the Minister, on the application of either party, and the arbitrator may make such order in the matter as he thinks just.

Every such arbitration shall be held in such place in the United Kingdom as the arbitrator may appoint, and shall be conducted in accordance with the law of that place.

91.—(1) A valuation appeal tribunal shall be constituted as often as required for the purposes of paragraph 72 (6) of this Scheme in the following manner.

(2) The Board shall keep for each region three panels of persons willing to serve on the valuation appeal tribunal; the first panel shall consist of persons nominated by those County Branches of the National Farmers' Union which are within the region, or by those Area Executives of the National Farmers' Union of Scotland which are within the region, or by the Ulster Farmers' Union as the case may be; the second panel shall consist of persons nominated by such body or bodies as the Board may think best fitted to represent the views of wool merchants; and the third panel shall consist of persons nominated by the Board.

(3) A valuation appeal tribunal shall consist of five persons appointed by the Board from the panels for the region in which the wool was valued, or for such other region as the Board and the producer may agree, namely, one person from the panel nominated by the Board and two persons from each of the other panels.

92.  Subject to the provisions of paragraph 81 of this Scheme, any requirement of this Scheme that a notice or document shall be sent to a person by the Board shall be deemed to have been complied with if, within the period (if any) limited for the sending of the notice or document, the notice or document is despatched to him by post, properly addressed and with the postage prepaid. A notice or document shall be deemed to be properly addressed if it is addressed either to the address last used by the person in his correspondence or to an address provided by the person for entry in the register.

93.  Where the Board purport to prescribe any matter they shall record the resolution containing the prescription in a separate record of prescriptive resolutions, which shall be open for inspection at the principal offices of the Board in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, at such times as are specified in paragraph 50 of this Scheme. Any person shall be entitled to be supplied with a copy of any entry therein on payment of a fee not exceeding 1s. for each resolution copied, or to take extracts therefrom free of charge.

94.  The Board shall send to every registered producer a copy of every prescriptive resolution as soon as practicable after it is made.
