THREE women fighting to keep their Housing New Zealand homes in Lower Hutt's notorious Farmer Cres are now waiting on the Court of Appeal.
replica balenciaga handbagsRobyn Winther, Huia Tamaka and Billy Taylor asked for special leave from the court yesterday to continue appealing against Housing New Zealand's decision to evict them.
The women were served notices to quit after allegations of intimidation and anti-social behaviour in the Pomare area.
They came after three patched Mongrel Mob members, some of them partners of the women, were charged with intimidation.
All charges against the men were dismissed by the court in subsequent hearings, including charges of burglary against two.

The women have also taken their case to the Human Rights Tribunal.
The women's lawyer, Liz Hall, told the court there was a public interest factor in the case being fully heard by the court.

Ms Hall said the Tenancy Tribunal should have looked at it and had the jurisdiction under the Bill of Rights to do so, and the High Court was wrong to say the tribunal could not question the lawfulness of the notices.
She said that as a public entity Housing NZ had a responsibility over and above a private land- lord.

It would be asking a tribunal adjudicator, who were often lay people, to have a power to judicially review a decision, which would be a big leap forward.
