Ministry of Culture v. Ministry of the Environment
Ministry of Culture v. Ministry of the Environment, 1 (2023), (often abbreviated as MoC v. MoE, or CvE, in text and as Culture v. Environment in speech) was the first ever Kuduk Tribal Council Court case, and currently the only case in which both sides of the case are Ministries of the Assembly. The dispute in CvE revolves around opposing laws passed independently by the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of the Environment surrounding the traditional hunting of cetaceans in the Rotantic Tribes of Kuduk. In its ruling, the Tribal Council established cuts on the power of the Ministry of the Environment by limiting its activity toward species that are endangered or threatened. Since the rotantic cetaceans of Kuduk fall under neither category, the Tribal Council ruled in favor of the Ministry of Culture, citing that the Ministry of the Environment was overstepping its jurisdiction.
