It withdrew an earlier appeal against Dairy Farmers of Ontario (DFO) milk marketing board so they could negotiate a settlement on issues such as incentive days and marketing board help to solicit more suppliers of organic-standard Jersey milk.
After DFO rejected all of St. Brigid’s requests, it filed a new appeal.
That is what the tribunal has now dismissed.
In its report on the case, the tribunal wrote “in the present appeal SBD is asking that “the total over quota milk produced by St. Brigid’s Dairy be paid as within quota in the months of May, June, July, 2023”.
“This is just another way of asking DFO to pay SBD compensation for its failure to grant it incentive days in those months in its Reconsideration Decision, or as DFO has put it, SBD seeking compensation or payment for financial losses incurred when milk was deliberately marketed over quota and without coverage through incentive days.”
In the lengthy report, it said it agreed with the DFO that this new appeal is frivolous and was made in bad faith.
