TANIA JOY LAMB v THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL [2017] NZSC 128

- Supreme Court
The Court of Appeal held that the ACC appeal did not amount to an 'action' pursuing the exemplary damages claim because it involved a different respondent, cause of action and forum; therefore the exemplary damages claim was statute-barred and the High Court erred in granting an extension of time to seek review, so the strike out should be reinstated.
