The High Court has ruled in favour of Hauraki Coromandel Climate Action Inc (HCCA) which sought a judicial review of the decision of the Thames-Coromandel District Council (TCDC) to refuse to sign the Local Government Leaders Climate Declaration.
The Court has ruled that TCDC’s decision was unlawful and has ordered TCDC to reconsider its decision in light of the decision-making provisions in the Local Government Act, the Council’s own Significant and Engagement Policy, and the Court judgment.
