Procedural Direction No.21 was made in breach of the principles of natural justice (s 27 NZBORA) because it effectively prevented parties from presenting their cases (excluding them from an experts' conference and from giving evidence); accordingly those decisions were quashed and the Tribunal was directed to reconsider its procedural directions and to hear parties before making such exclusionary orders; no costs awarded against the Tribunal.
