EASTON v WELLINGTON CITY COUNCIL [2020] NZHC 3351

- Court
- High Court
The appeal was dismissed because the statutory scheme applied: the JFD8 vehicle lacked a current certificate of fitness contrary to s34; the grassed median where CRC991 was parked met the rule definition of a traffic island and parking there contravened LTRUR r6.7; constitutional arguments based on He Whakaputanga do not negate the courts' jurisdiction or the applicability of the LTA; alleged unrelated municipal misconduct and the procedural complaints did not render the trial unfair or provide a defence.
