EDWARD v THE FAMILY COURT AT PALMERSTON NORTH [2023] NZHC 161

Citation

[2023] NZHC 161
Court

High Court

The amended statement of claim was struck out because the judicial review was an abuse of process effectively seeking to circumvent statutory appeal rights, it disclosed no reasonably arguable grounds of judicial review (most complaints were appealable or post‑decision implementation matters), and the substantial delay prejudiced the child and other parties.

High Court

Clause 11.1 limited RPA's appointment to the sale evidenced by the specific agreement; because no binding sale was effected through RPA (the counteroffer was not accepted and negotiations did not result in a binding contract through RPA) the agent did not perform the service entitling it to commission and the appeal is dismissed.
