cy-gb	Caiff awdurdod lleol ymafael mewn ceffyl a chadw ceffyl sydd ar unrhyw briffordd, neu mewn unrhyw fan cyhoeddus arall, yn ardal yr awdurdod lleol os oes gan yr awdurdod lleol sail resymol dros gredu bod y ceffyl yno heb awdurdod cyfreithlon.

en-gb	in the case of land of which the local authority is the occupier, that the horse is there without the local authority’s consent, or

en-gb	in the case of other land in the local authority’s area, that the horse is there without the consent of the occupier of the land and that the occupier consents to the local authority seizing and impounding it.
cy-gb	yn achos tir arall yn ardal yr awdurdod lleol, bod y ceffyl yno heb ganiatâd meddiannydd y tir a bod y meddiannydd yn caniatáu i’r awdurdod lleol ymafael ynddo a’i gadw.

en-gb	if any person appears to the local authority to be the owner of the horse or to be acting on behalf of the owner in relation to the horse, that person.

cy-gb	Mae perchennog ceffyl yr ymafaelir ynddo gan awdurdod lleol o dan adran 2 yn atebol i dalu i’r awdurdod lleol gostau a dynnir yn rhesymol wrth ymafael yn y ceffyl a’i gadw ac wrth ei fwydo a’i gynnal tra bo’n cael ei gadw.

en-gb	The local authority is not required to return the horse until the costs so incurred have been paid.
cy-gb	Nid yw’n ofynnol i’r awdurdod lleol ddychwelyd y ceffyl hyd nes y bydd y costau a dynnwyd yn y fath fodd wedi eu talu.

en-gb	The local authority must give to the owner a notice stating the amount that it considers the owner is liable to pay under subsection (1) and containing an explanation of—
cy-gb	Rhaid i’r awdurdod lleol roi hysbysiad i’r perchennog sy’n datgan y swm y mae’r awdurdod lleol o’r farn bod y perchennog yn atebol i’w dalu o dan is-adran (1) ac yn cynnwys esboniad o—

en-gb	(a) how that amount was arrived at, and
cy-gb	(a) sut y pennwyd y swm hwnnw, a

en-gb	(b) the right to refer a dispute for resolution by the Welsh Ministers and how to exercise it.
cy-gb	(b) yr hawl i gyfeirio anghydfod i’w ddatrys gan Weinidogion Cymru a sut i arfer yr hawl honno.

en-gb	(1) Subject to section 7, this section applies if, after a horse has been seized by a local authority under section 2—
cy-gb	(1) Yn ddarostyngedig i adran 7, mae’r adran hon yn gymwys, ar ôl i awdurdod lleol ymafael mewn ceffyl o dan adran 2—

en-gb	neither the owner of the horse nor a person acting on behalf of the owner of the horse has contacted the local authority before the end of the period of 7 days beginning with the relevant day, or
cy-gb	os nad yw perchennog y ceffyl na pherson sy’n gweithredu ar ran perchennog y ceffyl wedi cysylltu â’r awdurdod lleol cyn pen y cyfnod o 7 niwrnod gan ddechrau gyda’r diwrnod perthnasol, neu

en-gb	the owner of the horse or a person acting on behalf of the owner of the horse has contacted the local authority before the end of that period but, having been given notice under subsection (3) of section 4, has failed to comply with subsection (1) of that section before the end of the period of 7 days beginning with the day on which the notice was received.
cy-gb	os yw perchennog y ceffyl neu berson sy’n gweithredu ar ran perchennog y ceffyl wedi cysylltu â’r awdurdod lleol cyn pen y cyfnod hwnnw, er iddo gael hysbysiad o dan is-adran (3) o adran 4, wedi methu â chydymffurfio ag is-adran (1) o’r adran honno cyn pen y cyfnod o 7 niwrnod gan ddechrau gyda’r diwrnod pan gafwyd yr hysbysiad.

en-gb	(2) The “relevant day” means—
cy-gb	(2) Ystyr y “diwrnod perthnasol”—

en-gb	if the local authority gives notice under section 3(4), the day on which that notice is given, and
cy-gb	os yw’r awdurdod lleol yn rhoi hysbysiad o dan adran 3(4), yw’r dyddiad y rhoddir yr hysbysiad hwnnw, a

en-gb	otherwise, the day on which the local authority places the notice under section 3(1).
cy-gb	fel arall, y dyddiad y mae’r awdurdod lleol yn gosod yr hysbysiad o dan adran 3(1).

en-gb	(3) The local authority may sell or otherwise dispose of the horse (including by arranging for its destruction).
cy-gb	(3) Caiff yr awdurdod lleol werthu’r ceffyl neu ei waredu fel arall (gan gynnwys drwy drefnu i’w ddifa).

en-gb	(4) Where there are no proceeds arising from the disposal, or the amount of the costs incurred in connection with the disposal exceeds the amount of such proceeds, the owner of the horse is liable to pay to the local authority the amount of any costs incurred in connection with the disposal, or the amount of that excess.
cy-gb	(4) Pan nad oes unrhyw enillion yn codi o’r gwarediad, neu pan fo swm y costau a dynnir mewn cysylltiad â’r gwarediad yn fwy na swm y cyfryw enillion, mae perchennog y ceffyl yn atebol i dalu i’r awdurdod lleol swm unrhyw gostau a dynnwyd mewn cysylltiad â’r gwarediad, neu’r swm hwnnw sydd dros ben.

en-gb	(5) Where the amount of any proceeds arising from the disposal exceeds the amount of the costs incurred in connection with the disposal, the local authority is liable to pay the excess to the owner of the horse.
cy-gb	(5) Pan fo swm unrhyw enillion sy’n codi o’r gwarediad yn fwy na swm y costau a dynnwyd mewn cysylltiad â’r gwarediad, mae’r awdurdod lleol yn atebol i dalu’r swm sydd dros ben i berchennog y ceffyl.

en-gb	(6) But subsection (5) does not require the payment of any amount to a person if the local authority has previously paid that amount to a person whom it reasonably believed to be the owner of the horse.
cy-gb	(6) Ond nid yw is-adran (5) yn ei gwneud yn ofynnol talu unrhyw swm i berson os yw’r awdurdod lleol wedi talu’r swm hwnnw yn flaenorol i berson yr oedd yn credu’n rhesymol mai hwnnw oedd perchennog y ceffyl.

en-gb	(7) The local authority must give to the owner notice stating the amount that it considers the owner is liable to pay under subsection (4) or that it is liable to pay under subsection (5) and containing an explanation of—
cy-gb	(7) Rhaid i’r awdurdod lleol roi hysbysiad i’r perchennog sy’n datgan y swm y mae’r awdurdod lleol o’r farn bod y perchennog yn atebol i’w dalu o dan is-adran (4) neu y mae’r awdurdod lleol yn atebol i’w dalu o dan is-adran (5) ac yn cynnwys esboniad o—

en-gb	how that amount was arrived at, and
cy-gb	sut y pennwyd y swm hwnnw, a

cy-gb	datganiad ynghylch y dyddiad, yr amser a’r man yr ymafaelwyd ynddo,

en-gb	a statement of when it was impounded, and
cy-gb	datganiad ynghylch pryd y cafodd ei gadw, a

en-gb	details of the steps taken to ascertain the identity of its owner, and, if the horse has been disposed of under section 5, particulars of the manner in which it was disposed of.
cy-gb	manylion y camau a gymerwyd i ddarganfod pwy yw ei berchennog, ac, os yw’r ceffyl wedi ei waredu o dan adran 5, manylion y modd y’i gwaredwyd.

en-gb	(3) The register must be open for inspection by the public (whether in person or via the internet) at all reasonable times.

cy-gb	(2) Caiff perchennog y ceffyl, o fewn cyfnod o 7 niwrnod gan ddechrau gyda’r diwrnod y mae’r perchennog yn cael hysbysiad o dan adran 4(3) neu 5(7), gyfeirio’r anghydfod i’w ddatrys gan Weinidogion Cymru drwy roi hysbysiad i Weinidogion Cymru sy’n cynnwys datganiad o’r rhesymau dros godi anghydfod am y swm.
