Marie Dyhrberg: Barrister on the High Court's decision to overturn the Waitangi Tribunal's summons of Karen Chhour
Early Edition with Ryan Bridge - Podcast készítő Newstalk ZB
A barrister says the High Court's decision to overturn the Waitangi Tribunal summons of the Children's Minister was a good and clear decision. It ruled Karen Chhour could not be compelled to appear before the Tribunal over her plans to repeal part of the Oranga Tamariki Act. Treaty activist and lawyer Annette Sykes has lodged an appeal. Marie Dyhrberg KC told Francesca Rudkin it doesn't set a precedent, as there's already a law. She says the judge said had the evidence not been available in other forms, he would not have quashed the summons. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
