- Supreme Court
The Supreme Court held the Resource Management Act provides a self-contained infringement-notice regime; s343C incorporates only necessary parts of s21 relevant to unpaid infringement fees and does not import s21(1)(a)'s leave requirement. Therefore leave under s21(1)(a) was not required before laying informations under s343B and the appeal against conviction was dismissed.
