Minister of Fisheries and Oceans v. Ahousaht First Nation et al.

In Aboriginal Rights/Defences, Fish Cases, Fisheries Practice on (Updated )

This case involved the appeal of a decision of the Federal Court issued on 28 February 2014 restraining the Minister of Fisheries from opening a commercial herring roe fishery(digested on this website). Since the commercial herring fishery was completed before the Crown requested an expedited appeal in June of 2014, the court ruled that there were no factors that would justify allowing an appeal notwithstanding mootness.
