Pat's Note: You would have thought all payments in respect of the 16,
yes actually involved would have been settled long ago.

It was actually a very small outbreak deliberately escalated.

They were just limbering up on Britain's poor battered and very sick
pigs, hoping to get rid of enough discretely to make an impact of the
then secret mutated PMWS outbreak.

Britain's hospitals, the sick and vulnerable now bear the brunt of the
crimes committed then by Britain's corrupt State Veterinary Service
and deliberately covered -up by lies and intimidation of witnesses to
Parliament.

A matter of some interest: Ruttle vs secretary of state for the
environment

05 September 2008

Classical swine fever is not a subject that you would expect to find
covered in these pages. Judges of the Technology and Construction
Court would not normally expect to write judgments about it, either.
Nevertheless, at least four of these judges have had to grapple with
one case that resulted from an outbreak of the disease in August 2000
– Ruttle Plant Hire vs The Secretary of State for Environment, Food
and Rural Affairs. There were many different issues that this case
covered, but this article is about just one of them: interest.

To set the scene: the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, or
MAFF, as it then was, needed plant and labour to control an outbreak
of swine fever in East Anglia. Ruttle provided both between August
2000 and June 2001. The two parties could not agree how much Ruttle
should be paid, and in January 2006, Ruttle issued court proceedings
for nearly £6m.....
