Questão jurídica principal
Whether the Administrative Court acted arbitrarily in valuing the seized dogs by an average market value rather than individually categorizing each animal.
Decisão extraída
No. In the circumstances, the court could estimate the loss by judicial discretion and was not required to individualize each dog.
Fundamentação extraída
The evidence did not permit reliable individual categorization. The claimants' own records were inconsistent, and the court reasonably relied on witness evidence and average market values for different dog types.
