- Court
- Supreme Court
Leave to appeal was granted because the issues raised—particularly the interplay of the Treaty of Waitangi, Māori customary interests and the applicability of tikanga to marine and discharge consenting—are matters of public and legal importance warranting definitive consideration by the Supreme Court; procedural directions and invitation to the Attorney‑General were ordered to ensure comprehensive resolution.
