The Guardians of the Super Fund are considering their response to a High Court ruling parts of its sustainable investment policy were unreasonable and unlawful.

The Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa sought a judicial review over the fund's failure to divest investment in Israeli companies complicit in illegally occupying Palestine. 

Their lawyer, Frances Joychild KC says the court has asked the Superfund to re-write its policies to align with their statutory duties.

She says the problem was that their policies didn't have any human rights standards - which could be used as benchmarks.
