\f0\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid14571107\charrsid6377254 Mrs Browne's first ground is that the Court cannot rule on or deal with the substantive matter because of the Court of Appeal 1968 decision. 
This would be accepted if the facts were the same; assuming Mrs\~Carr can prove her "Marau" is the child of Tuakura. The Court of Appeal was dealing with a different factual situation, i.e. Tuakura had no Issue and no close blood relation.
