Supreme court issues stay order on eviction

The direction was issued this morning by Human Rights Judge, Justice David Cannings.

The stay order also covers the National Court’s decision to carry out the eviction.

Lawyer representing the landowners of Behori Koiari, Peter Daime applied for the stay order, and also appealed against the National Courts decision of October 9th, recognizing NCDC as the legitimate land title holder.

All parties will return to court on Monday 2nd November, for Justice Cannings to hear the appeal.
