- Subject Matter: This judicial review application under s. 18.1 sought to quash a decision of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Canadian Coastguard as unreasonable, incorrect, and/or procedurally unfair. The decision informed Elver Fishery quota holders that the department was rolling over the total allowable catch at 9,960 kg and that its law enforcement agents would not be increasing its riverside enforcement efforts in 2024 due to a lack of prosecutorial support. This case is ongoing.

- Date: The hearing was set on Mar. 18, 2024.

- Venue: This was a federal case before the Federal Court.

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
