(2) The value of an animal valued under this Order shall be the amount determined in writing by a valuer appointed and paid for by the Minister.

(5) Liability for the costs of the arbitration shall be determined by the arbitrator.
(6) Once the value of the animal has been determined in accordance with paragraph (2), nothing in this article shall authorise any delay in the slaughtering of that animal pursuant to the powers of the Minister under section 31 of, and paragraph 3(1) of Schedule 3 to, the Animal Health Act 1981.
