- Court of Appeal
Because established authorities confirm that New Zealand courts have universal summary criminal jurisdiction, local authorities may validly make bylaws under statutory power, and neither the Treaty of Waitangi nor the Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993 confers a separate jurisdiction or immunity, the application did not raise an arguable question of law and special leave to appeal was refused.
