   ...and her written statements of evidence by 21 March 2025. [18] Following the Minute being issued, on that same day, 25 February 2025, Ms Davis filed a memorandum in which she objected to the directions that were made. 7 Whilst Ms Davis had appealed the Tribunal’s strike out decision to the High Court, that appeal does not operate as a stay on the proceeding per s 123(9) of the Human Rights Act 1993 (HRA). 8 In the Minute it was noted that discovery was to be undertaken by the pa...

   ...The length of time over which the misconduct continued took it outside the realm of a “rush of blood to the head” type of situation.

   ...desirability of preparing a regional plan when the implementation of a NPSFM arises, or is likely to arise. [99] It is also important to bear in mind that the Environment Court’s jurisdiction is functionally limited. It is confined by the scope of appeals, and in turn further limited by the scope of submissions and further submissions. I agree with Mr Maassen’s submission that the Environment Court does not sit in an executive plan-making and plan-changing role. That is the...
