0 Comments | Taranaki Daily News; New Plymouth, New Zealand, Jul 27, 2010 | by Jared SMITH

The High Court hearing into whether the Waitara leaseholders’ lawsuit against the New Plymouth District Council should proceed to trial began in Wellington yesterday.

Headed by high-profile Auckland barrister Brian Henry, the leaseholders are seeking compensation from NPDC for financial losses suffered as a result of allegedly “negligently misleading statements” made by the council about the future of the Waitara land.

Lawyers for NPDC made its application to Justice Jillian Mallon to strike out the start of the claim yesterday afternoon, before Mr Henry began his presentation of the leaseholders’ case.

This will continue today for what is expected to be a two-day hearing. About 70 Waitara leaseholders signed up for the lawsuit
