"A British fishing firm has been ordered to hand over more than £700,000 by a judge after cheating on quotas by lying about the type of fish it had caught.
The case centred on six vessels belonging to W Stevenson and Son, based in the Cornish port of Newlyn, which deliberately over-fished protected fish stocks for financial gain.", so goes the headline on the BBC news web site.
The firm has said it will continue to fight what it sees as an unjust quota system through the proper channels and Brussels. The story is covered in national and local papers, Western Morning News and the Daily Telegraph.
