A District Court Judge lacked jurisdiction to invoke s79(2) to enforce enforcement orders made by the Environment Court; enforcement of RMA enforcement orders is to be effected through the RMA regime and, where s79(2) is to be used, it must be invoked by an Environment Judge pursuant to s278 RMA; accordingly the District Court orders were nullities and must be quashed.
