Abstract |
|
|
The “Grand
Prince” was the third case before ITLOS arising from French arrests of
vessels fishing Patagonian toothfish in French waters around the Kerguelen
and Crozet islands. As with two of the
previous cases, it concerned an application
for prompt release. In contrast to
the previous decisions, however, ITLOS on this occasion
determined that it had no jurisdiction to hear the dispute
on the basis that at
the time of the application the "Grand
Prince" was not a vessel registered in
Belize.
