- Court of Appeal
Leave to intervene was granted because the Court concluded the Council is well placed to provide a pan‑Māori legal perspective on the tests for recognition of CMTs and PCRs, the issues are likely to arise on appeal, the Council limited its proposed role to legal issues (reducing risk of undue expansion or delay), and the delay in applying for leave was explained and not shown to cause unacceptable prejudice to respondents.
