Abstract

Defenders of Canada’s inshore fisheries policies got a major boost in April when a court decided that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) could effectively frustrate private agreements designed to undermine its policies. The case, reported in the December 2004 issue of SAMUDRA Report, involves two fishermen who had entered into a private contract or trust agreement to transfer the right to use a fishing licence that one of the parties was not eligible to hold.
