(1)

Where beef or veal has been labelled and marketed in a manner which does not comply with these Regulations, an authorised officer may serve a notice on the person in possession of the beef or veal requiring—

(a)

its immediate relabeling in accordance with these Regulations; or

(b)

its immediate removal from sale until it is labelled in accordance with these Regulations or otherwise disposed of,

and any person who fails to comply with that notice is guilty of an offence.

(2)

A notice must state the right of appeal to a court of summary jurisdiction and the period within which the appeal must be brought.

(3)

A person who is aggrieved by a decision of an authorised officer to serve a notice pursuant to paragraph (1) may appeal to a court of summary jurisdiction at any time before the expiration of one month beginning with the date on which the notice of the decision was served on the aggrieved person, and Part VII of the Magistrates Court (Northern Ireland) Order 198110 shall apply accordingly.

(4)

On an appeal against a notice served pursuant to paragraph (1), the court may either cancel or affirm the notice and, if the court affirms the notice, it may do so in its original form or with such modifications as the court, in the circumstances, think fit.
