    CLARK ROAD DEVELOPMENTS LTD v ROHITS CIVIL & INFRASTRUCTURE LTD [2017] NZHC 2844

    Citation
    [2017] NZHC 2844
    Court
    High Court

    The Bond was an on‑demand guarantee independent of the underlying contract; the Contract Price for Bond purposes was the forecast contract sum (original sum plus variations) and had not been paid when RCIL demanded payment; therefore CCB had no real defence and summary judgment for the bond's face value was entered, and the injunction sought by CRDL was refused.
