The proceedings were struck out because the resource consent had lapsed rendering any contested relief ineffectual; the changed legal and planning context (including an ongoing water conservation order process and freshwater plan change) meant s125 considerations were no longer practically relevant between the parties; and the unique factual matrix limited any realistic precedent value, so there was no utility in continuing judicial review to determine declaratory relief.
