1. Gillard v CAC 20003 [2014] NZREADT 4 [pdf, 132 KB]

   ...complainants a copy of that former consent as well as a LIM report with details of restrictive covenants. Essentially, it seems that the land is zoned rural, and before a dwelling house could be built on it, there needed to be a new consent under the Resource Management Act. The restrictive covenants applied to aspects of building work permitted on the land and the type of land use. We understood that there could be no intensive farming activity, such as the raising of poultry or pigs....

   ...vehicle access along that side to the back of the property. When they discovered the issue, they elected to affirm the contract, constructed a new access way from a different approach, and then claimed the costs of the new access way, including the resource consent, from the agent. 4.16 The High Court held that the Act does not give a CAC the power to order a licensee to pay compensatory damages, either by way of indemnity or for loss of expectation. This is exactly what the appellant...

   ...power raises issues under section 21 of the Bill of rights Act, we consider that the power appears reasonable. In reaching this conclusion, we recognise that there is a need to strengthen risk management at the border, thereby maximising the limited resources available and ensuring that agencies work together towards the government’s border outcomes rather than focusing on limited classes of border activity. We consider, however, that despite the fact that expectations of privacy are low...

   ...consulted Mr OW, but the correspondence from Ms MT and Mr OW was obtuse and unhelpful, and Mr PG was unable to firmly establish what Ms MT’s instructions were. [31] There is no logic to the suggestion that Mr PG would spend significant time and resources in an attempt to retrospectively establish he had instructions from [LMN] to proceed. [32] The evidence does not support Mr OW’s allegations that Mr PG joined [LMN] without authority and the allegation that Mr PG tried to re...

   ...safekeeping ensures the taonga are protected for, and on behalf of, the traditional owners. In the case of the heitiki found at Plimmerton, Judge Harvey found that a valuable taonga of this kind must be preserved and cared for by those with the necessary resources and expertise, and it would be inappropriate to vest the taonga in any person who did not have ready access to such facilities and knowledge. In coming to his decision, Judge Harvey noted that: The Rūnanga is a registered...

   ...be submitted to the High Court, by reason of its general or public importance or for any other reason. Questions of fact could meet this criterion. [26] In exercising its discretion, the Authority is mindful of the proper use of the scarce resources of the High Court. Leave is not given as a matter of course. It is for the applicant to show that the interests of justice require that leave be given (Kenyon v Accident Compensation Corporation [2002] NZAR 385 (HC) at [15], O’...

   ...grandchildren alive at Mrs Manning’s death. (b) The other half share was to pass in equal shares to the children of Daphne (who predeceased Mrs Manning). Again, there was a gift over provision. [12] Mr Manning no longer has the energy or financial resources to undertake the maintenance required to keep the land and improvements in good condition. He has moved to a smaller property in Whangarei but still spends two to three days a week at the land looking after it. Apparently,...

   ...security surveillance costs of $21,000.00; g) The injunction application was wholly successful. [21] The respondents oppose costs and submit that: a) Mr Manihera is retired and of little means. Conversely, the trust and TPL 4 have considerable resources. Mr Manihera does not consider that Mr Brown should have an order for costs against him and, in light of the injunction being cancelled against Waiomio Downs Logging Limited, no order for costs should be made against that compa...

    ...to take into account the cultural, historical and spiritual significance of the land. It will also need to take into account the land’s geographic limitations, particularly its steep and erosion- prone terrain, and any restrictions under the Resource Management Act 1991. The land has no road access and the return of Karaka Huarua B to a Maori reservation will mean that road access through that land is not possible – see s 338(11). Even if it were possible, it would likely be e...
