520 _aConsiders the implications of "Westerhall Farm v Scottish Ministers", the first legal challenge to foot and mouth slaughter policy in Scotland. "Westerhall Farm" petitioned the notification that all their livestock would be slaughtered on the following grounds: the decision was contrary to Council Directive 85/11/EEC and the European Convention on Human Rights Article 6; the slaughter policy was inflexible and a disproportionate invasion of their property rights; and the procedure used to implement the policy were contrary to Scottish administrative law. It was found that the slaughter policy was justifiable on all counts.
