   ...construed or interpreted and applied to the facts is a question of law … . [25] Even if the qualifying criteria are made out, the Court has an extensive discretion in the grant or refusal of leave so as to ensure proper use of scarce judicial resources. Leave is not to be granted as a matter of course. One factor in the grant of leave is the wider importance of any contended point of law … .

3. Proactive release - Strengthening the Family Court [pdf, 1.9 MB]

   ...These reforms intended to encourage individual responsibility and shift the focus from in-court resolution, to encouraging parents to reach agreement themselves through out-of- court processes. The reforms aimed to enable the Family Court to focus its resources on serious and urgent applications that were not suitable for out-of-court resolution. One of the most significant changes was the removal, for fiscal reasons, of legal representation and legal aid in the early stages of on-notice CoCA p...

   ...nature of the disputes between Mr Wirihana-Tawake and Mr Kauika-Stevens are not issues that can properly be resolved by any Court of law. At its heart, this is a personal dispute between two close relatives over the management and use of a whānau resource; in this instance a whānau homestead. Unfortunately, this is not an uncommon situation. As I foreshadowed in my 2014 judgment, it is unlikely that the original tipuna of both parties could ever have foreseen that what was intend...

I questioned them closely on this (27 Kaitaia MB 44): "Collrt: Yes but, having a block of land for the benefit of a hapu is different to what we have here. Now, it may be that you can use some of the resources for the benefit of the hapu by reason of what's known as the Maori Comnnmity Pwposes provision but what you can't do is tU/'l1 this tll/st in to a de facto tll/st for the hapu only and not to benefit the owners.

   ...did acknowledge that she had explored the option of subdividing the land. (161 Gis 160) She was also interested in exploring the option of establishing a fish farm (a non-permitted use) on the land. Mr Barber subtnitted that due to the zoning and resource management restrictions, the land could not be subdivided and therefore it was unlikely that much could be done with the land. The fish fatm idea would require consents and there was no guarantee they ,vould be granted. The alienatio...

   ...owners’ aspirations. [30] As I say, I consider a hybrid partition to be a reasonable alternative to Mr Heta’s proposal. It is therefore open to me to dismiss the application. Ordinarily, the owners might then be expected to apply under the Resource Management Act 1991 (“1991 Act”) for a subdivision outside the purview of the Court. That would be expensive and time-consuming and invites some uncertainty as separate titles may not be approved. Given this Court’s responsi...

[17] Nor do we accept Mr Goyal’s evidence that he had no interest in the development until shortly before the sale of Number 11 was about to be settled. He lent money to Mr Grewal so that he could pay the deposits on th...
