- Court
- High Court
The High Court stayed the proceedings pending determination of the s 45 application because the substantive issues overlap with ongoing Māori Land Court proceedings, resolution of the s 45 application may determine the appropriate forum and preclusive effect under s 77 could render High Court determinations inconsistent, and proceeding would risk duplication, inefficiency, prejudice and abuse of process; service was also stayed and the position to be reviewed after the Chief Judge's decision.
