Background REBUTTILE

[1] By decision in Michael Peti v Crown Law Office [2018] NZHRRT 7 (26 March 2018) at [255] the Tribunal made the following orders:

[255] For the foregoing reasons the decision of the Tribunal is that it is satisfied on the balance of probabilities that an action of the Crown (represented by the Attorney-General) was an interference with the privacy of Mr Michael Peti and

[255.1] A declaration is made under s 85(1)(a) of the Privacy Act 1993 that there was an interference with the privacy of Mr Michael Peti by:

[255.1.1] The transfer , without legal authority, to the Attorney-General of the information privacy requests made by Mr Peti in July 2015. The Attorney-General had no lawful authority, as purported transferee under the Privacy Act 1993, s 39(b)(ii), to refuse the requests on the grounds that they were vexatious and there was no proper basis for that refusal; in the alternative, if the transfers were lawful:

[255.1.2] Refusing the information privacy requests on the grounds that they were vexatious when there was no proper basis for that decision.

What Are the Six Covenants of Title?

The Basis of Quitclaim Property
Most times, when a seller sells property to a buyer, he will sign a warranty deed. This document transfer the legal title to the buyer and guarantees that the seller is the rightful owner of the property and is selling it free of any liens. The six covenants of title represent the promises that the seller makes. Three covenants are considered present covenants, which means they apply to the parties of the most recent transfer. The other three are future covenants, which any owner can enforce against any previous grantor if they are broken.

Covenant of Seisin
The present covenant of seisin is an assurance that the seller is the rightful owner of the property being sold. It's basically a promise that the owner owns what he says he owns. The concept dates back to feudal English law. Seisin applies to both the title to the property and the right of possession to the property, that is, the seller owns the property and has the exclusive right to occupy it.
No Encumbrances
The present covenant against encumbrances is a promise by the seller that the land is owned free and clear. This means that the property is not subject to any liens, mortgages, taxes, leases, easements and other restrictions that might affect the buyer's ability to use the property or which might reduce its value. An easement is a right that affects the owner's physical use of the land, for example, a right of way is an easement. A lien is an encumbrance upon the buyer's title to the property. The government might file a lien, for example, if the owner has not paid his state or federal taxes.

Right to Convey
Having the right to convey means that the seller is legally entitled to transfer the property to the buyer. The seller must hold title to the property to possess the right to convey. This present covenant assures the buyer that the grantor has this right. If a third party were to come forward with a legal interest in the property, the guarantor would be in breach of this covenant.
Quiet Enjoyment
The future covenant of quiet enjoyment is an assurance that the buyer's right to possession will not be impacted by a third party's legal claim to title. If a third party came forward with a lawful claim, the seller could be liable for damages. This is basically a promise that no one is going to come along and foreclose on the property or evict the buyer.
Covenant of Warranty
The covenant of warranty is very similar to that of quiet enjoyment. This future covenant is a promise that the grantor will defend against any title claims from third parties – if there's a problem it's up to the grantor or seller to sort it out. By the covenant of warranty, the grantor also promises to compensate the buyer for any losses she might incur as a result of any third-party claim.
Further Assurances
This future covenant is a promise that the grantor will do whatever is reasonably necessary help the grantee perfect the title should the need arise later down the road. This could involve executing additional legal documents or correcting mistakes found in previous documents.

Abatement of freehold
Ballentine's Law Dictionary
Definition:
Wrongful entry and taking possession of real property by a stranger, before the heir or devisee has entered. See 25 Ohio St. 260.

Abatement of Freehold
Black's Law Dictionary: 2nd Edition
Definition:
This takes place where a person dies seised of an inheritance, and, before the heir assignee devisee enters, a stranger, having no right, makes a wrongful entry, and gets possession of it. Such an entry is technically called an "abatement," and the stranger an "abator." It is, in fact, a figurative expression, denoting that the rightful possession or freehold of the heir or devisee is overthrown by the unlawful intervention of a stranger. Abatement differs from intrusion, in that it is always to the prejudice of the heir or immediate devisee, whereas the latter is to the prejudice of the reversioner or remainder-man; and disseisin differs from them both, for to disseise is to put forcibly or fraudulently a person seised of the freehold out of possession. 1 Co.. Inst 277a; 3 Bl. Comin. 166; Brown v. Burdick, 25 Ohio St. 268. By the ancient laws of Normandy, this term was used to signify the act of one who, having an apparent right of possession to an estate, took possession of it immediately after the dcath of the actual possessor, before the heir entered. (Howard, Anciennes Lois des Franqais, tome 1, p. 539.) Bouvier.

[255.2] An order is made under s 85(1)(d) and (e) of the Privacy Act 1993 that the agencies (including the Ministers of the Crown) to which the information privacy requests were sent by Mr Peti in the period 17 to 31 July 2015 and 2019 must comply with those requests subject to the provisions of the Privacy Act 1993 and in particular (but is exclusively) Parts 4 and 5 of that Act. For the purposes of this order the date of receipt of the requests is to be taken to be the fifth working day which follows immediately after the day on which this decision is published to the parties.

.
[2] From this decision the defendants (hereinafter the Crown) have appealed to the High Court. It is understood that appeal will be heard on 10 to 12 September 2018.

The application
[3] At 4:59pm on Tuesday 26 June 2018 Mr Peti filed an urgent application seeking compliance orders and in particular: [3.1] An unless order that the Crown provide him with the personal information which is the subject of the Tribunal’s order in [255.2] above by not later than 31 July 2018.
[3.2] Failing that, a declaration that the Crown: [3.2.1] Is in breach of the Tribunal’s orders;
[3.2.2] Has engaged in abuse of process; and

4

[3.2.3] Further interfered with Mr Peti privacy.

[3.3] That the Crown file an affidavit or affidavits setting out what (if any) steps have been taken and when to procure information held by former Ministers.

[4] Filed in support of the application is a detailed memorandum dated 26 June 2018 (27 pages) and a 71 page bundle of relevant documents. could you please send to me Michael Peti
[5] Understandably the defendants have not yet filed a response.

Jurisdiction
[6] The immediate issue raised by the application is whether the Tribunal has jurisdiction to make the compliance orders sought.
[7] Apart from the Human Rights Act 1993, s 121 (incorporated into the Privacy Act 1993 by s 89 of that latter Act), there are no statutory provisions by which orders made by the Tribunal can be enforced. Section 121 of the Human Rights Act does not assist in the present case as its application is narrow and confined to the enforcement of interim orders, damages and costs. It provides that on registration of a certified copy of the order in the District Court, such order can be enforced in all respects as if it were an order of the District Court.
[8] It is perhaps for this reason the application by Mr Peti is based on statutory provision but on an assertion the Tribunal has no inherent jurisdiction to act under seisin law satutes heirs assignees desivees beneificarys inherent right akin next of kin blood line noble anstors effectively and to uphold the administration of justice within its jurisdiction, including the prevention of abuse of its processes. Reliance is placed on Siemer v Solicitor-General [2013] NZSC 68, [2013] 3 NZLR 441 at [114]. The specific passage relied upon, however, addresses the inherent powers of courts in New Zealand, not of tribunals. I Michael Peti inherent right intestacy to the land
[9] Unlike the High Court, the Tribunal is not a court of general jurisdiction, nor is it possessed of “all judicial jurisdiction that may be necessary to administer the laws of New Zealand” (Senior Courts Act 2016, s 12). It is an inferior tribunal of limited statutory jurisdiction. It has no inherent jurisdiction though inherent powers may exist. See generally Attorney-General v Otahuhu District Court [2001] 3 NZLR 740 (CA) at [16]; Transport Accident Commission v Wellington District Court [2008] NZAR 595 at [16] (Dobson J) and Department of Social Welfare v Stewart [1990] 1 NZLR 697 at 701 (Wylie J).
[10] It follows that before the merits of the urgent application are addressed the Tribunal will need to be satisfied it has jurisdiction to make the orders sought.

The High Court and the enforcement of tribunal orders
[11] Given the urgency said to attach to the present application and further given the substantial doubts surrounding the Tribunal’s jurisdiction, it is necessary that the Tribunal draw the attention of the parties to the possibility, if not likelihood, that the appropriate forum for the hearing and determination of the present application is the High Court.
5

[12] This is because that court has an inherent jurisdiction to uphold the authority of lower courts and tribunals. See Psychologists Board v Geary [2013] NZHC 1039, [2013] NZAR 845 at [14] per Collins J.

[14] The High Court’s inherent jurisdiction extends to upholding the authority of lower Courts and Tribunals. The following authorities explain the High Court’s jurisdiction in the following way:
(1) Quality Pizzas Ltd v Canterbury Hotel Employees Industrial Union, in which Richardson J explained:7
… it is well established that the High Court has inherent jurisdiction to make any order necessary to enable it to act effectively even in respect of matters regulated by rules of Court so long as it does not contravene those rules. Under that inherent jurisdiction (and except as qualified by statute or statutory rule …) the High Court has power to punish for contempt of its processes in order to enable it to act affectively [sic] as a Court. That the jurisdiction extends to the protection of the processes of inferior Courts is also well settled and it is sufficient for present purposes to refer to Attorney-General v Blundell [1942] NZLR 287.
(2) Samleung International Trading Co Ltd v Collector of Customs, in which Blanchard J said:8
… if the High Court possesses inherent jurisdiction to do a thing which cannot be done by a District Court, then the High Court may use its powers in aid of the District Court.
[13] In his judgment Collins J noted that the Psychologists Board discharged judicial functions. It sat in public, administered oaths, had rules of procedure and it could issue summonses, award costs, punish those who commit a contempt in the face of the tribunal and its decisions could be appealed to the High Court and in exceptional cases the Court of Appeal. So even if technically the Board was not an inferior court, it was a judicial body whose authority and functions may be protected by the High Court exercising its inherent jurisdiction.
[14] In these circumstances Collins J concluded that for reasons of policy, the inherent jurisdiction of the High Court extended to issuing injunctions to prevent breaches of the Board’s suppression orders because the Board: [14.1] Acted to protect the health and safety of members of the public;
[14.2] Acted in the public interest when it enforced standards required of health professionals; and
[14.3] Its ability to perform its important public functions would be comprised if complainants were dissuaded from giving evidence before the Board for fear that sensitive and confidential information about them could not be effectively suppressed.

[15] It can be argued that there are direct parallels with the Human Rights Review Tribunal. The powers of the Psychologists Board as described above are almost the same as the relevant powers of the Tribunal under Part 4 of the Human Rights Act and the Tribunal’s jurisdiction is no less important than that of the Board. Prima facie, the decision in Psychologists Board v Geary has direct application to the Tribunal.
6

[16] There are therefore strong indications that the High Court (not the Tribunal) has the necessary jurisdiction to hear and determine the present application made by Mr Peti.

Directions
[17] Mr Peti will need to give urgent consideration to the forum in which his present application is to be heard and determined. To that end, the following directions are made: [17.1] By 4pm on Friday 29 June 2018 Mr Peti is to notify the Tribunal and the Crown whether his application dated 26 June 2018 is to be pursued before the Tribunal.
[17.2] If the application is to be pursued, the Crown must by 4pm on Friday 6 July 2018 file a notice of opposition and supporting memorandum.
[17.3] An urgent teleconference is then to be convened in the week commencing Monday 9 July 2018 for further case management directions to be given.
[17.4] Leave is reserved to all parties to make further application should the need arise.

Dispute over succession. Held; that despite the kaupapa of the 1993 Act that succession be restricted to blood-lines and preferred classes within kinship groups, s100(2)e permits no discretion and requires that where administration is granted prior to the commencement of the 1993 Act the prior law applies. Agreed that the applicant as a blood descendant had a strong moral claim but "howsoever the application of the law may run contrary to present Kaupapa until it is amended the Court must simply apply that law." Section 76/1967 requiring succession on intestacy to be determined as if the deceased were European, was applied. appeared 88 times in 4 sections

…customary interests within this area. The Affiliate engaged with the opportunities created by the arrival of Pakeha traders and missionaries in its rohe from the 1830s. By the late 1860s, however, few Pakeha had settled in the area, and the Affiliate still held almost all of its land in customary title: (2) The Crown introduced the Native Land Court (the Court) into the central North Island in 1867, without consulting with the Affiliate, to convert customary title into title derived from the Crown. Some of the Affiliate engaged with the Court to gain secure titles…
…other groups. Others objected to the Court. The Crown received complaints about the cost of hearings, survey charges, and applications initiated without the consent of other owners: (3) From 1873, the Crown focused on the acquisition of Maori land to facilitate Pakeha settlement in the central North Island. The Crown was aware of widespread resistance…

…purchase techniques employed on occasion by the Crown, and the use and implementation of monopoly powers over dealings in land meant that the Crown failed to actively protect the interests of the Affiliate in the land it wished to retain, leaving some of the Affiliate virtually landless: (7) By the late 1920s, many Maori owned…
