Appeal progress

The progress through the Court system is a lengthy one. The appeal was lodged in September last year, and at this stage we are looking at a hearing in October this year.

What has happened in the past 9 months? Quite a lot, most of it involving a lot of paper!

We tried mediation, but that did not go far. The mediation process is confidential, so I can't say more than that. Since then we have engaged three experts - a planner, an urban designer and a transport engineer. They have gone through a "caucusing" process where they get together with experts representing the applicant (Qualcare, now known as Oceania) and the Auckland City Council.

Following the caucusing, evidence has been exchanged between the parties, and we are now waiting for confirmation of the Court Hearing date.

This is an expensive process - unfortunately justice is not cheap - so any donations are gratefully received.
