Yes. They would give evidence to the maritime area regulatory authority, MARA, as part of its investigation in the first instance. If it has a report or there is an issue where there has been a breach, MARA would have the capacity to investigate. Obviously, it would play a key part in that investigation.

On the second part, if it goes before the court on foot of MARA making a determination, MARA will have the job of defending its decision. I cannot assess what the court case will be at that point in time but it would have fed into the investigation part at the very start.
