The statement of claim was struck out because the declarations sought relate to the Treaty settlement negotiation and pre-legislative process and are non-justiciable; the Court will not grant declarations that would intrude into executive or parliamentary functions, and the interlocutory preservation orders cannot be made because no settlement funds have been paid and the defendants are not the intended recipients.
