Surrey CC v Main and another
Surrey CC v Main and another
- 1992
- Estates Gazette (1992) 06 EG 159-160(2) .
County Court 12 August 1991. A dispute over the amount of compensation payable to the tenant for milk quota, and the method for calculating `standard quota`. The tenant contended that the calculation of standard quota should be determined by multiplying the relevant number of hectares by the prescribed quota per hectare, producing a standard quota of 155,236 litres. The landlord argued that the standard quota was a higher figure of 208,484 litres, which reduced the excess by which the allocated quota exceeded the standard quota and thus reduced the amount qualifying for compensation. The argument centred on the determination of whether the standard quota should be calculated in accordance with para 6(1) of Schedule 1 to the Agriculture Act 1986, or para 6(2). At arbitration as to the amount of compensation payable, the tenant`s submission was accepted. As far as the judge could see, there was no evidence before the arbitrator which could lead to any other conclusion. (Grounds v Attor
