13 August, 2012 - A lawyer representing nine New Brunswick processing plants says no demonstrations have been reported at the facilities after an injunction was ordered against protesting fishermen.

The plants reopened today after a judge granted a 10-day injunction Thursday to prevent fishermen from blocking the processing sites.

Tensions over lobster prices in the province came to a head last week, when fishermen held demonstrations in Cap-Pele and Shediac and trucks were blocked from delivering Maine lobsters to three processors.
