MATAU v FUSI [2017] NZHC 3210

- Court
- High Court
The application for leave to commence by originating application was declined because the dispute was not suitable for the originating application procedure: the factual issues were not narrow, there were multiple respondents and potential complexity, discovery and viva voce evidence were likely required, and interpretation of the trust rules was contentious; accordingly the Court directed commencement by statement of claim.
