Abstract
This article discusses the June 1992 Arbitral Award of the Canada-Fran ce Court of Arbitration established to determine the location of the m aritime boundary of the French archipelago of St Pierre-Miquelon. The Decision and the two dissenting opinions are described. The reasoning of the Decision is then analysed and the conclusions drawn that not on ly has the Court departed from the use of equitable principles but the solution reached cannot clearly be said to be equitable.
