The Court refused to grant interim restraint on initialling because a declaratory remedy about the scope of the Taranaki Whānui settlement (reflected in statute) would adequately protect PNBST's interests pending final determination and the claim did not presently appear particularly strong in light of the Waitangi Tribunal report; accordingly interim relief was unnecessary and the proceeding must be expedited before the settlement becomes irrevocable.
