- Citation
- [2023] NZHC 1336
- Court
- High Court
The 1993 Deed and the subsequent 2010 deeds of easement are part of the continuous contractual bargain originating in the 1988 Sale Deed and therefore the perpetual operating easements constituted 'interests in land' transferred pursuant to s 23 of the SOE Act; accordingly s 27A applied and memorials should have been recorded and may be added retrospectively consistent with the Treaty-consistent purposive interpretation of the SOE Act and the Land Transfer regime.
