Dairy Produce Act, 1924

Reference of notice to arbitration.

6.—(1) Any person on whom a notice is served by an inspector under this Part of this Act (other than a notice only requiring any premises, plant, machinery, appliances, or utensils to be cleansed) shall, on payment of the prescribed fees, be entitled to have such notice referred in the prescribed manner to the arbitrator.

(2) It shall be the duty of the arbitrator to whom the matter of a notice is referred under this section to inquire into and determine in the prescribed manner the matter of such notice, and to confirm, with or without any addition, omission, or amendment, or to annul such notice.

(3) When the matter of a notice is so referred to the arbitrator, the notice shall be deemed to be suspended until the matter is determined by the arbitrator, but if the notice is confirmed by the arbitrator, whether with or without any addition, omission, or amendment, the notice as so confirmed shall take effect as if it had been duly served under this Act on the date of such confirmation.
