- High Court
The Court held the Commissioners erred in law by treating the s 77A discretion to assign activity status as implicitly limited by ss 123 and 128; there is no statutory prohibition preventing categorisation of the challenged water-related activities as controlled activities and the matter must be reconsidered by the Canterbury Regional Council on the merits in light of this judgment.
