NEW CONSERVATIVE v TELEVISION NEW ZEALAND LIMITED [2020] NZHC 2650
- Citation
- [2020] NZHC 2650
- Court
- High Court
Applicants failed to establish a prima facie case for mandatory interim relief: TVNZ's revised selection criteria were not unreasonable; TVNZ properly considered Māori electorate representation; no evidence that referenda made New Conservative's exclusion a relevant consideration; no unlawful fettering of discretion; poll margin of error cannot be added to inflate results; accordingly interim mandatory relief to require invitation of Mr Baker was declined.
