- High Court
The High Court has jurisdiction to hear and determine PropertyIQ's claims because the claimed breaches are not confined to matters arising solely within the employment relationship, several defendants are outside the employment relationship, the claims are essentially equitable/sui generis (breach of confidence and fiduciary duties) not properly within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Employment Relations Authority under s161(1)(r), and a single forum is required to avoid a jurisdictional void.
