9. Fault.

We don't need to send the US Navy to support this.

There have been incidents in the past where there have been collisions between Sea Shepherd craft and Japanese whaling vessels. One of these collisions led to the sinking of Sea Shepherd's "Adi Gil". Another incident led to severe damage to Sea Shepherd's "Bridget Bardot".

With this ruling in place, it means that any further incidents / collisions between Sea Shepherd craft and Japanese whaling vessels will now automatically be ruled as the Sea Shepherds being at fault. If there is a collision, the fault will lie with Sea Shepherds because it means they violated a Court Order.
