- High Court
The Tribunal correctly refused an urgent remedies hearing because the Taranaki Report contained only preliminary, non-final findings and did not establish WAI 552 as well-founded; the Tribunal lawfully and rationally declined an urgent claim inquiry after balancing Āraukūkū's delay and failure to engage against the prejudice and diversion that granting urgency would cause Ngāruahine and Tribunal resources, and properly exercised its broad discretion under the Practice Note and the Act.
