Abstract

This Order, made under the Animal Health Act, 1981, provides for rates of compensation where the Secretary of State causes an animal to be slaughtered under section 32(1) of the Act in its application to brucellosis, tuberculosis or enzootic bovine leukosis, subject to the specified exceptions. It provides that the amount of compensation payable on the slaughter of domestic cattle is the average market price for the category into which the slaughtered animal falls at the relevant date, calculated in accordance with Part 1 of the Schedule; but where there are no, or inadequate, sale price data available for the relevant category of cattle, the Secretary of State may instead calculate the compensation by reference to the market value of the animal as ascertained in accordance with the Individual Ascertainment of Value (England) Order 2019.
