Nova Scotia Supreme Court upholds minister's moratorium on new fish buyer/processor licenses, dismissing Lobster Hub Inc.'s appeal.
A Nova Scotia Supreme Court judge has affirmed the provincial fisheries minister's authority to maintain a moratorium on new licenses for fish buyers and processors, initiated in 2018. The ruling dismissed an appeal from Lobster Hub Inc., which sought to expand its processing license. The minister had previously rejected the company's application due to an ongoing policy review, which the court deemed valid under the Fisheries and Coastal Resources Act.
