- High Court
The appellants' arguments that aboriginal title and Māori sovereignty remained unextinguished do not raise a question of law of sufficient merit or general/public importance and have no real prospect of success; accordingly leave to appeal under s120 was declined and, because the appeal is not readily arguable, a stay of execution was also declined (notwithstanding potential hardship), with costs awarded to the Crown for the leave application on a 1A basis.
