This was a test case to determine whether whaling by Kyodo in the Australian Whale Sanctuary was against Australian law.
EDO acted for Humane Society International and sought a declaration that Kyodo breached the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 by whaling in the Australian Whale Sanctuary adjacent to Antarctica and an injunction to prevent the killing of whales in this area.
