Mahora Residents Society Inc v Hastings District Council [2024] NZHC 893 by McQueen J. Whipping up a quick inc society to get standing to bring a JR and insulate you from costs is a tried and true method. But half-arse it and you'll fall down on position to preserve.

The weirdest part of being a criminal defense lawyer is when your client alleges that you're ineffective and a prosecutor has to cross examine you for 15 minutes about how great you are
Crown Law, under a sustained hail of bullets, deploying fine constitutional distinctions to only just get the summons quashed: It’s not the Minister deciding to pursue repeal of s 7AA, it’s Cabinet, so leave the Minister alone. The ACT Party: Karen! Karen! Karen!

Urgent, complicated, high-profile case well-suited to leapfrog appeal to Supreme Court says Cooper P.
Can’t wait until November 2025 to see what the Supreme Court thinks of this.

Good on @CourtsofNZ for making the Waitangi Tribunal JR decision publicly available late at night for tragics to read, even if those tragics’ much more talented spouses demand to know why they’re reading a judgment on their phone at 10.30pm.

Let sleeping dogs lie, unless you are adducing evidence from them in which case r 13.10 of the Conduct and Client Care Rules applies.
Jehovah's Witnesses appeal decision and (potentially) the Waitangi Tribunal JR decision on the same day. You've never had it so good.
Lot of talk re comity and of the Tribunal not historically issuing summons because Ministers usually voluntarily give evidence. So it's timely to review the leading authority of Pratchett on Comity.
Law change to require big sentences for serious offending by culpable offenders, and to allow for smaller sentences for less serious offending or less culpable offenders.

This puts a very heavy thumb — full hand and shoulder — on the scales in favour of granting consent etc, even at Panel recommendation stage. Enviro considerations relegated to second place and worse.
See eg cl 32(1)(a) of sch 4, where greatest weight to be given to purpose of Act in cl 3.
Minister is not telling whole truth here. Appraisal by panel is not same, because fast-track bill directs panel to give predominant weight to facilitating “delivery of infrastructure and development projects” etc, ahead of environment and other matters. nzherald.co.nz/nz/fast-track-…
