The High Court has jurisdiction to hear applications under ss210(2) and 214(2) of the Fisheries Act 1996; the words 'the Court' and 'a court' in those provisions are not to be read as limited to the court seized of the related criminal proceedings absent express statutory language, and therefore the defendants' r5.49 applications to dismiss were dismissed.
