CANTERBURY MEDICAL OFFICER OF HEALTH v BOND MARKETS LIMITED [2018] NZHC 496 [21 March 2018]

- High Court
The Court lacks jurisdiction under s162 because the appellant did not challenge the Authority's ultimate determination but sought declaratory guidance on the Authority's reasoning; such requests amount to impermissible advisory opinions. Leave to amend the Notice of Appeal was refused because the application was late, would prejudice other parties, was unlikely to change the outcome, and the proper remedy for future reliance on the Authority's reasoning is challenge in subsequent proceedings.
