KAIKOURA AND HURUNUI LANDOWNERS ASSOCIATION INC v MINISTER OF FISHERIES [2022] NZHC 702
- Citation
- [2022] NZHC 702
- Court
- High Court
Joinder was granted because Ngāi Tahu's interests are directly and substantially affected: they were the applicants for the Mātaitai reserves, provided material relied upon by the Minister, exercise kaitiakitanga and have interests in tikanga and management that the judicial review will directly engage; fairness and the need to resolve all questions justify their presence as respondents. The existing hearing fixture was vacated to permit timetable amendment.
