ROSA WOODS/STUFF Supreme Court Justice Joe Williams speaks about the importance of te reo Māori - using the language itself. Four iwi have filed a joint claim at the High Court in Auckland seeking a review of the use of te reo Māori in the nation’s courts. Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Rēhia, Te Poari o Ngātiwai, Te Rūnanga a Iwi o Ngāpuhi and Te Reo Ngāti Hine claim while the Māori Language Act gives anyone the right to speak te reo in legal proceedings, the language is still given a back seat to English.
