I have been asked to assess the procedural grounds on which Andrea and Billie could challenge the Minister’s decision.
Procedural Impropriety:
Every case comes with fair hearing rights. The nature of this decision is a typical permitting process. The Minister makes the decision, and it is not a high policy decision. In Daganayasi it is stated that administrative decisions omit certain rights due to efficiency. It should be noted that Andrea and Billie have saved up and mortgaged their house to secure a loan in order to produce the preserves. The statutory scheme makes no mention of what natural rights should be allowed, however they were granted the right to a written submission and reason as to why the application was denied.
Andrea and Billie would be unlikely to successfully challenge the Minister on the sub ground of bias under the procedural …show more content…
The Minister has made no mistake over the facts of the situation. Therefore there is a slim chance this sub ground will succeed.
Improper Purpose: In Unison Networks, McGrath J explains that public bodies must exercise their statutory powers in accordance with the statutes. The purpose of exporting New Zealand horticulture products is set out under s1 of the HEA. I don’t believe it is appropriate for the Minister to recommend another product, because it does not impede on the purpose of creating a reputation of excellency.
Relevant considerations: This will usually be expressly stated in the statute. Under s4(a) the Minister must consider the degrees of New Zealand ownership of the producer of the food product, and the extend to which the product is processed in New Zealand. The case of the NZ Fishing Industry states that considering statutory criteria extends to the facts relevant to those that Parliament would have intended. Therefore it is up to the Minister as to how much weight is
