Occupy Auckland protesters have been given 48 hours to leave their campsite at Aotea Square.
Auckland Council said it welcomed the court's decision to grant its application for a permanent injunction to end the occupation of Aotea Square.
The judge this morning ordered the protesters to cease residing in Aotea Square and to remove all of the paraphernalia associated with the protest campsite within 48 hours.
The protesters have been camping in the square since 15 October.
Protest spokesman Chris Glenn said the decision was disappointing and the movement was in the process of lodging an appeal.
Many in the camp were resolved to stay there through Christmas despite the eviction order, he said.
"As far as we're concerned it's business as usual. We're continuing to protest against corporate greed and gross inequality in our society."
Mr Glenn said the occupy protestors had always expected to face legal obstacles and were expecting to win their appeal.
"It's important we don't limit the rights of people to protest."
