PROPRIETORS OF WAKATŪ v ATTORNEY-GENERAL [2014] NZHC 1785

- High Court
Given the unresolved and novel legal questions about whether the Settlement Acts (s 25(6)–(7)) preserve the plaintiffs' claims and the Court of Appeal's pending consideration, Wakatū had a reasonably arguable beneficial interest in the specific caveated land; weighing the balance of convenience and the risk of rendering the appeal nugatory, the court exercised its discretion to preserve the caveats pending determination of the appeal and related statutory interpretation issues.
