- High Court
The statement of claim was plainly an abuse of process because it failed to articulate an intelligible cause of action, failed to identify proper defendants, sought relief properly pursued in the Māori Land Court, and was not capable of amendment to particularise valid claims; accordingly the proceeding was struck out under r 5.35B.
