REIHANA v RAKIURA TITI COMMITTEE [2018] NZCA 325

[2018] NZAR 1652
Court

Court of Appeal

The Court held the High Court correctly stayed the appellant's proceedings as an abuse of process because the Titi Regulations provide an alternative, exclusive and more appropriate mechanism (including referral to an independent decision maker under reg 9) to determine the core disputes involving tikanga and factual issues unsuited to judicial review; accordingly the appeal was dismissed and costs awarded.
