High Court found against master of a vessel in weighing dispute at Killybegs
A dispute about the weighing of fishing catches will be referred to Court of Justice of the EU.
The High Court found that a derogation allowing the weighing to take place in the factory did not impact on the power of the SFA to also require monitored weighing on landing. Fishermen had argued that post-transport weighing was the best way to preserve the quality, freshness and value of the fish. The SFA notified Mr McDowell of the commission of two “suspected offences” relating to the landing declaration.
They also contended that the system of weighing using the State-owned weighbridge at Killybegs Port was not fit for purpose and the factory weighing scales were more accurate and less damaging to the fish.
