Leave to appeal was granted because the Trustees demonstrated an arguable error of law on a matter of real significance: whether the correct threshold for a Norwich Pharmacal order is a "good case" or a lesser bona fide non-speculative belief, combined with the practical and significant effect of permitting joinder of some 300–400 additional defendants and the novel legal context (authority of rangatira, trustee indemnity, privacy of iwi registers) justified appellate consideration; accordingly leave to appeal and to cross-appeal were granted with timetabled filing directions.
