Rule 5.1(2) did not apply to this banco statutory interpretation proceeding because no material part of a cause of action arose in Auckland; although technically filed in the wrong registry the court exercised its discretion under r5.1(4)/(5) and retained the proceeding in the Auckland Registry to give effect to the High Court Rules objective (r1.2) and to avoid unnecessary delay; directions were given and costs awarded to the plaintiff on a 2B basis; certificate for second counsel refused.
