Questão jurídica principal
Whether the federal appeal against the refusal of direct agricultural payments and reimbursement is admissible and well-founded
Decisão extraída
The appeal is admissible only to the extent it is sufficiently reasoned; on the merits, the challenged decision is not contrary to federal law.
Fundamentação extraída
The appellant did not substantiate a challenge to the non-entry on the animal-disease-fund contribution. As to direct payments and repayment, the Federal Court found no violation of federal law, no abuse of discretion, no basis for an oral hearing, and no grounds to depart from the facts found by the lower authority.
