Davis Helps Inuit Association Halt Seismic-Testing Project in Baffin BayPublished: Tuesday, 10 August 2010 Making headlines across the country, Davis LLP has successfully helped its client, the Qikiqtani Inuit Association, stall a German-Canadian seismic testing project in Baffin Bay. Less than a day before a German research vessel was to begin seismic testing in the area, a Nunuvaut judge granted a temporary injunction against the Eastern Canadian Arctic Seismic Experiment on August 8. The Qikiqtani Inuit Association is represented by Davis lawyers David Crocker, Peter Jervis, and Jonathan Davis-Sydor. The team argued that Natural Resources Canada could have resolved the issue by conducting meaningful consultation with people in the five affected High Arctic communities; including carrying out extensive interviews with Inuit to determine marine mammals' calving, feeding and migration patterns and the harvesting areas that Inuit use.
