- Parties: The applicants were Fish, Food and Allied Workers-Unifor and Glen Winslow. The respondents were the Attorney General of Canada, Ocean Choice International Inc. (OCI), and NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC).

- Subject Matter: This judicial review application challenged a Minister of Fisheries, Oceans and the Canadian Coast Guard decision to end the Northern Cod moratorium off the north and east coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador, which allowed for a significant portion the total allowable catch of cod to be given to offshore and international companies. The application alleged that the minister’s failure to provide detailed reasons for the decision showed a lack of consideration for the unquantifiable and irreparable harm that greater capacity vessels and their ability to target pre-spawning aggregations might have on the cod population or the financial harm this decision would have on outport fishing communities in Newfoundland and Labrador. This case is ongoing.

- Date: The hearing was set on Oct. 11, 2024.

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

- Amount: No financial award was specified.
