Bruce Cockburn: 50 years of music, spirituality and social justice | SaltWireA Yarmouth-area processor that bought lobster caught without a commercial licence will have to pay part of the federal government’s legal costs.
The lawsuit and recent costs ruling stems from Nov. 15, 2019, when Rockville Carriers bought 11,500 pounds of lobster from Kylie & Boys Fisheries Ltd., owned by David Pictou. A subsequent search of the facility resulted in the officers seizing 4,400 pounds of lobster and releasing them from a nearby federal government wharf. What happened to the other 8,100 pounds of lobster is not discussed in the court filings.Rockville Carriers then sued the Attorney General of Canada over the seizure and release of the lobster, demanding $70,915 for the sales value of the lobster plus interest.
Justice Peter Rosinski found that Rockville did not establish that the officers “had ample reasonable grounds to believe ‘at the time of seizure’ that the lobsters were unlawfully in the custody of Rockville; and acted in good faith throughout.”
