Article 8 Recovery of Payments
An agreement shall provide that where the farmer fails without reasonable excuse to comply with any of its provisions the Minister may:
by notice in writing terminate the agreement and thereafter withhold the whole or any part of any payment payable to the farmer, and recover the whole or any part of any payment already made to him;
withhold the whole or any part of any payment payable to the farmer in respect of the year in which he failed to comply and recover the whole or any part of any payment made to him.
Subject to paragraph (3), any question arising under an agreement as to whether the agreement has been complied with shall be determined by the arbitration of a single arbitrator, to be agreed between the parties or, in default of agreement, to be appointed by the President of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, in accordance with the provisions of the Arbitration Acts 1950–1979.
Any dispute as to the economic optimum shall be determined by a person appointed by agreement between the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, by a person appointed by the Chairman of the Regional Panel constituted by the Minister for the area in which the land is situated.
