    [2016] NZHC 378
    Court
    High Court

    Relief is declined because although the applicants' reading is the obvious textual reading, an alternative reasonable interpretation exists that separates renewal from recertification and gives effect to a ten‑year maximum; the Standard is not statutory, JAS-ANZ is the specialist body to implement it, JAS-ANZ's inquiry was within its discretion, and there was no individual interest giving rise to requirement for relief.
