Abstract

Recently the University of Tasmania Law Review reported on the ongoing litigation by the Humane Society International Inc ('HSI') against Japanese whaling in Australian Antarctic waters. On 15 January 2008, HSI was finally successful: the Federal Court declared that the whalers were in breach of the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) ('EPBC Act') and issued an injunction against them.
