A Wairarapa hapū says a Supreme Court ruling means it should be removed from a proposed treaty settlement that's in its final stages.
The Supreme Court this week ruled in favour of Waiarapa Moana in a landmark case, which could potentially require the Crown to return land occupied by the Maraetai Power Station in Waikato.
But a settlement due to have its final reading in Parliament could extinguish Wairarapa Moana's chance to have its case heard - which it says would be the Foreshore and Seabed all over again.
