The Government has forked out 40 million dollars to the kiwifruit industry, over MPI's negligence in spotting the vine killing disease Psa.
It comes after more than a decade of growers trying to hold the Government responsible for the matter.
Kiwifruit Claim Chairman John Cameron says it's been a long time coming.
He says it's been in court for seven years, and that it was proven that Psa being introduced into the country was negligent in the High Court.
