A South Korean-flagged charter fishing boat caused a legal flurry after it upped anchor near Lyttelton and headed toward international waters yesterday despite a High Court arrest warrant.

The Korean officers of the 36-year-old Oyang 77 say they were taking their rubbish out to dump in the Pacific beyond the 12-mile (22 kilometre) territorial limit.
