The Court held s64 now extends to appeals under s299 RMA, but denied transfer because the statutory interpretation issues were not exceptional: they were narrow legal questions suitable for immediate High Court determination, could be heard promptly (therefore delay/prejudice arguments failed), and allowing transfer would improperly bypass the normal first-instance role of the High Court and set an undesirable precedent.
