Seahawk Marine Foods Limited v Southampton Port Health Authority: Admn 5 Apr 2001

The authority refused to allow disembarkment of a cargo of shrimp. It’s risk assessment was based on failures by the cargo processor, but which failures did not create any risk to public health. The court held that the rejection could be challenged as unreasonable. In this case the rejection followed a risk assessment which disclosed no threat to public health, and the rejection of the cargo was unreasonable.
