About the issue of “comity” the Court said that because the Tribunal could make recommendations to the Government only the principle had limited effect. The letter provided by Chhour to the Trubunal is also interesting. The thing is like Chhour before him he has got the law completely wrong. Just to stymie the Waitangi Tribunal. Fancy misrepresenting what the law was, and picking a fight with the Waitangi Tribunal and with Oranga Tamariki.
