HINES & ANOR v THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF NEW ZEALAND [2018] NZHC 1776
- Citation
- [2018] NZHC 1776
- Court
- High Court
The Court granted leave under s122A(2)(a) because the proceedings raise an important question of law concerning the consistency of statutory provisions authorising religious instruction in State schools with s19 NZBORA, and, on the particular facts including systemic Tribunal delay and absence of opposition, removal to the High Court for determination is appropriate while emphasising that removal of Tribunal matters is exceptional and not a remedy for systemic delay.
