    Court says - quote
    [Smith argued; “ Where the environment has suffered damage, the principle of kaitiakitanga requires steps to be taken to restore balance…” and the court listened. The trial will be allowed to proceed, and “… the trial court will need to grapple with the fact that Mr Smith purports to bring proceedings not merely as an alleged proprietor who has suffered loss, but as a kaitiaki acting on behalf of the whenua, (land) wai (water) and moana (sea)—distinct entities in their own right.”]

    So court listens to land - water - sea -- distinct entities in their own right
    Just like the Spirit Whales in Australia
