The Court held that catches lawfully taken and lawfully reported (including reports made outside CELRs) fall within the definition of 'eligible catch' in s34(2) and that the Catch History Review Committee has jurisdiction under the Act to recognise such lawfully reported catches and amend returns or otherwise include them in provisional catch history; therefore the Committee's decision to include the 1994 reported catches (resulting in 22,120 kg) was lawful and the Chief Executive's review application failed.
