   ...examine whether Mr Taueki has satisfied any of those subsections. [21] At first blush, the application could only succeed under s 19(1)(a), 19(1)(b) or 19(1)(d) of the Act. This is because s 19(1)(c) refers to the unauthorised removal of natural resources, which is not relevant in the present circumstances. Section 19(1)(a) allows the Court to grant an injunction where there is actual or threatened “trespass” or “other injury” to any Māori freehold land, Māori reservation...

   ...foreshadowed, his principal concern was that on the available evidence NTTC did not appear to display the usual accountability, reporting and transparency mechanisms expected of a land holding entity acting on behalf of beneficiaries of communally owned resources. However, those concerns would no longer be relevant if the shares were transferred to a trust created under the Māori Affairs Act 1953. Ohau Pā Reserve is just such a trust that is legally accountable to the beneficiarie...
