2. Matchitt v Livesey - Parekura Hei Roadway (2003) 81 Ōpōtiki MB 178 (81 OPO 178) [pdf, 989 KB]

   ...Parekura Hei Road. CONCLUSION In conclusion, Parekura Hei Road is a private road and not a public road. To that extent Hauhangaroa 2C Block v The Attorney-General & Anor [1973] NZLR 389 (CA) applies. This is because in that case the Court of Appeal recognised that a Maori roadway remains just that unless properly proclaimed otherwise. The roadway is Maori land and it is owned by the heirs and successors in title to the original owners of the T e Kaha block. That effectively means m...

3. Minhinnick v The Crown - Maioro Lands (1994) 18 Waikato Maniapoto Appellate MB 220 (18 APWM 220) [pdf, 3.8 MB]

   ...The Court in this instance was considering a case-stated from the Waitangi Tribunal. While an Appellate Court, it was sitting in this case as a Court of first instance hearing evidence and submissions on the matter before it. The only right of appeal against its decision is to the Privy Council. It has long been held that the Maori Land Court has an inquisitorial role in dealing with matters before it. This role is assisted by Section 54( 1) of the Maori Affairs Act 1953:- "(1...

   ...Foods v Mac Motors Ltd, Ngati Hurungaterangi v Ngati Wahiao, and Flannery v Halifax Estate Agencies Ltd.24 [56] At its most fundamental level, the duty to give adequate reasons is a function of due process and therefore justice. As the Court of Appeal observed in Ngati Wahiao, reasons are the articulation of the logical process employed by the decision maker, and serve to concentrate the mind. The ultimate decision is likely to be soundly based if a reasoned approach is brought to...

   ...conclusive if a reasonable person would conclude that such a meaning would be anomalous or “uncommercial” and cannot have been intended by the parties.4 [16] The position in New Zealand, however, appears to be less liberal, with the Court of Appeal in Malthouse Ltd v Rangatira Ltd expressing support for the comment made by the majority of the Supreme Court in Firm Pi 1 Ltd v Zurich Australian Insurance Ltd that:5 where contractual language, viewed in the context of the whole con...

    ...Court to admit evidence. That power was contained within a suite of statutes relating to Family Court proceedings and was couched in the following terms:6 In all proceedings under this Act (other than criminal proceedings, but including appeals or other proceedings), the Court may receive any evidence that it thinks fit, whether or not it is otherwise admissible in a court of law.
