- High Court
The Court held that Fisheries Inshore and Te Ohu should be joined as respondents because their interests were sufficiently affected by the judicial review such that fairness and the legitimate interest in preserving appeal rights justified joinder; the scope of their participation could be controlled and the joinder was necessary to protect quota and ACE interests arising from the Minister's decision on TAC/TACC.
