Citation

[2021] NZHC 2282
Court

High Court

The Court granted a partial stay: it stayed that part of the High Court judgment directing the Minister to make TAC/TACC decisions for East Coast tarakihi to have effect from 1 October 2021 (paras [218] and [219]) until the Minister has received and had the opportunity to consider the updated East Coast tarakihi stock assessment, after balancing factors including risk of irreparable economic harm to industry and iwi, the truncated consultation process, the proximity of new scientific information which may be the best available information, and the need not to render the appeal nugatory.

ROYAL FOREST AND BIRD PROTECTION SOCIETY OF NEW ZEALAND INCORPORATION v MINISTER OF FISHERIES [2020] NZHC 741

Citation

[2020] NZHC 741
Court

High Court

The Court held that Fisheries Inshore and Te Ohu should be joined as respondents because their interests were sufficiently affected by the judicial review such that fairness and the legitimate interest in preserving appeal rights justified joinder; the scope of their participation could be controlled and the joinder was necessary to protect quota and ACE interests arising from the Minister's decision on TAC/TACC.
