By consent the Supreme Court set aside the discovery orders requiring disclosure of the register of iwi members and substituted a representation order under r 4.24 appointing the Settlement Trust trustees to represent iwi members because representation orders better serve the objectives of the Rules (just, speedy, inexpensive determination), avoid unwarranted privacy and personal estate exposure from mass discovery, and ensure parties properly bound and disputes can be adjudicated without multiplying defendants.
