CARL WILLIAM FRICKLETON v STAG TRADING LIMITED [2015] NZHC 2534

CARL WILLIAM FRICKLETON v STAG TRADING LIMITED [2015] NZHC 2534

The challenged passage in the prior summary judgment did not produce an issue estoppel because the statements about the existence of the loan were not fundamental to the decision to dismiss the summary judgment application; accordingly there was no basis to rescind that part of the judgment under r 7.51 and the rescission application was dismissed.

Procedural Posture

Civil: Summary Judgment on Loan Claim and Subsequent R 7.51 Rescission Application / Post Summary Judgment; Hearing of Rescission Application Under R 7.51

Legal Issues

  1. 1 Whether part of the prior summary judgment should be rescinded under r 7.51

Court Disposition

Application under r 7.51 dismissed; no part of the summary judgment rescinded; costs reserved
