Crown lodges appeal against High Court decision
The Crown has lodged an appeal against the High Court’s decision.
We are deeply disappointed.
With strong Supreme Court and High Court decisions in our favour, we had hoped the Crown would see the sense in meeting us at the table to negotiate a pragmatic resolution to this long-standing injustice.
Instead, the Crown will use taxpayer money to continue fighting us in court.
This is not what we wanted, and it is heartbreaking to see justice delayed further for our whānau and our region.
We will now carefully consider our options.
Here are some early items of media coverage regarding the Crown’s decision to appeal.
