Q

Ngati Apa case

A

The Ngati Apa case which triggered the Foreshore and Seabed Debate
1840 - TOW signed
Maori property rights to dry lands are extinguished through legislation over the years

2004 - Ngati Apa iwi wins in the Maori Land Court which said that they might still have claims on the land and it had the jurisdiction to be able to hear and determine claims of Maori ownership of the foreshore and seabed
Government appeals this up to the high court and wins - because they aligned with the Nintey Mile Beach case

Ngati Apa appeals this up to the court of appeal and wins - COA said that property rights endure unless they are extinguished explicitly by legislation - there was not a clear law doing this
Also finally ruled that the Wi Parata decision was bad law - saying the crown did not gain imperium when they gained dominion.

Labor party government immediately responds to this by enacting the Foreshore and Seabed act 2004 - trying to have clear legislation that removes Maori land courts jurisdiction to hear claims about foreshore and seabed land

Huge political upheaval - protests etc.

2011 - National/Maori party coalition government gets into power and passes the Marine and Coastal Area Act 2011 to repeal the foreshore one - says that NOBODY owns the foreshore and seabed but it allowed for Maori to pursue claims to get customary title (better than nothing for the Maori as there is now a POSSIBILITY).

24
Q

Ratio in A-G v Smith

A

Because no meaning was being conveyed by Smith’s wearing of a wig, this was not enough to amount to expression and therefor engage S14
Court of appeal distinguishes that expression happens when you are doing something to stand out
But Smith was trying to fit in - disginguished Pointon who was trying to stand out.

25
Q

Ratio in Lowe v Police

A

Nude bike riding was not offensive - Quiet road and can’t see parts - cars going past at high speeds would not be able to see much
The complainant was concerned about high speed not OFFENDED by his nudity - different from Pointon.
He is committed to being nude but not offending by it - no intention.

26
Q

Case for legal pluralisim

A

Takamore v Clarke

27
Q

Hansen Test

A
  1. Try and find the Intended meaning using normal rules of stat interp
  2. If that meaning infringes on rights, the court will consider whether the infringement is justified as per S5
  3. If justified then done.
  4. If not justified, then court will use S6 to see whether they can adopt a rights consistent interpretation. If a better meaning is availible they will use it and done
  5. If not availible, then S4 will be used to say the courts are still required to apply because of parlimentary supremacy.
28
Q

Issue with the Hansen Test

A

Gives S5 prominenece over S6 - problematic because S6 is a primary mechanisim for protecting rights and this means that it might not even get to S6

29
Q

Ratio in Morse

A

Applied the reasonable person standard - reasonable person would recognise their right to protest under FOE and would have tolerance to this behaviour.
Not considered as behaving in an offensive manner - just FO

30
Q

Ratio in Pointon

A

Said that, yes it was expression, as he was expressing his unusual lifestyle choice - just because someone (lady) doesn’t like his expression, does not mean it is not expression.

Also said that is was not offensive. Applied Lowe v Police where the biking was not offensive - said it was the exact same as they were both unlikely to be seen by a large number of people and were both committed to being nude but not showing it off.

Q

Date for Model Parliment
