THREE HILLS GROUP LTD v NEW ZEALAND POST LTD [2023] NZHC 3156

- [2023] NZHC 3156
- Court
- High Court
The court held the lawfulness of NZ Post's notice to terminate and the exclusivity claim each raised serious questions to be tried, but on balance of convenience interim injunctions were refused: damages are likely an adequate remedy for THG, the proposed interim relief would prejudice NZ Post and third parties, THG had delay and had not established a strong case, and the requested orders would go beyond maintaining the status quo and have wide practical consequences; accordingly the interlocutory application for interim injunction was dismissed.
