Leapfrog application
Following the Crown’s decision to appeal the High Court judgment on almost every point, this month we have submitted an application to ‘leapfrog’ the Appeal Court and appeal straight to the Supreme Court.
We’ve done this in the hope of achieving a final resolution more quickly, and in the face of the Crown’s incredibly disappointing approach to our case. Despite 15 years of litigation; a landmark decision in the Supreme Court in 2017; and Uncle Rore’s resounding win in the High Court last year, we are yet to obtain justice.
Leapfrog applications are granted in exceptional circumstances, which we believe we have in this case.
Meantime, we will continue the work that is underway to resolve this matter with the Crown and prepare for final resolution. We will update you on this work at our March hui.
