    Citation
    [2020] NZCA 340
    Court
    Court of Appeal

    Leave for a second appeal was refused because the High Court correctly interpreted the National Parks Act: the relevant foreshore had previously been declared a conservation area and was validly added to Fiordland National Park, s 7(6) consent requirements did not apply, the MHWS line was established on unchallenged evidence, and no miscarriage of justice or issue of public importance was demonstrated.
