- High Court
The Mana Whenua Agreement remains in force and binding; the arbitrators' award conclusively determined only which hapū held mana whenua (binding on the parties) but did not decide the separate question of allocation adjustments contemplated by cl 6.14 of the Mana Whenua Agreement; accordingly Ngāti Taka may invoke the adjudication process (cl 6.10–6.15) to seek an adjustment of the allocation, and the Court will grant declarations to that effect while refusing an order for specific performance.
