FORESHORE AND SEABED - GOVT SET TO OVERTURN COURT OF APPEAL JUDGMENTOne of the early battlegrounds of the new Coalition Government is set to focus on the foreshore and seabed law. The three parties of government have agreed to legislate against a recent Court of Appeal judgment on customary title to the foreshore and seabed. Essentially, the Court of Appeal judgment issued on October 18 changed the law passed by Parliament and will make it easier for iwi and hapu to have customary title recognised by the courts. As a result of the coalition agreement, the Government will pass a law overturning that part of the judgment and return the criteria for customary title to the tougher one passed by Parliament..... www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/politics/foreshore-and-seabed-govt-set-to-overturn-court-of-appeal-judgment/QKETPKTF3NGOBEBT4QTPXXI27E/
